grab for power in moscow failed, of course, paving the way for the breakup of the soviet union. in the weeks after that two of the soviet economy collapsed, along with the institutions that held the state together. >> these tanks were supposed to stifle the spread, but the coup leaders reckoned without the muscovites. one of them was a man who is now 70. he protected the white house and the newly won freedoms. >> we were worried about how our grandchildren and great grandchildren would live. we didn't necessarily want change, we just wanted a normal, dignified life. >> the failure of the coup greatly boosted yeltsen's popularity. but soviet president gorbachev's star was fading and they crumbled before the year was out. hard times were ahead. 20 years on, gorbachev is

started selling shoes. but then i heard about the orchestra and i went back. working was a good experience for me, but my life is all about music. rehearsals in berlin. the orchestra is funded by the state. the musicians are given instruments, workshops are held and there are financial grants. many of the young musicians come from difficult backgrounds, but the orchestra gives them support and new career options. castro's dream is to create a network of youth orchestras across brazil, offering the chance of a better future to more and more young people. >> although the young euro classic is very popular and has record-breaking attendance, interest in classical music usually increases with age. the same is true for classical

musicians, with most young people preferring to play modern music. in a bid to attract more young musicians to the classics and nurture fresh talent, there was a competition set up 48 years ago. those who are successful are given financial support and new opportunities. we met 15-year-old emily menda from the eastern german state of saxony. she's preparing for a career as a soprano singer. ♪ >> emily says she loves the huge emotional path of operas. >> i love music. you can express so much through music. it's great standing on the stage and the people are enjoying it. it's such good fun.

it's the best thing of all. ♪ >> emily has been taking singing lessons in her hometown for five years. it sounds easy when she sings, but it's hard work, because emily was very young when she began her soprano training. ♪ >> if you can sing so beautifully and sensitively at the age of 15, you need to have goals. >> and emily does have goals. she wants to be an opera singer and perform at the zemper opera house in dresden and at the met in new york. 16-year-old pedra on the piano is one of emily's friends. they're rehearsing a new piece together.

flowed into the music as well. >> for her composition, that means she uses groups of 12 chords that constantly recur in the piece. the crumbling stones are also part of the music. >> i enjoy playing with this bumpyness, the unevenness of it, which then manifests itself in shifted rhythms and different tempos, different dance forms almost. in places it's a little lopsided, almost drunk, you might say. >> bierka started composing music at the age of 8. she says she wasn't happy with the way she was being taught music by her teacher. >> the teacher always says you have to play it like this, and i would ask why, can't i play it like this? so i started rewriting it and then i would say, now it's like that on the page so i can play it that way as well. >> but it can take time for her

to find the right rhythm and the right notes. composing is hard work. but she says her best ideas often come to mind by chance. >> sometimes i'm just out walking or i'm at a concert or just sitting in a cafe, and then the ideas come to me and i think yes, that's it. >> the new composition was premiered in berlin a few weeks ago, giving the audience a chance to here what bierka hears when she sees the historic gate in the museum. ♪ >> thanks so much for joining us. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org--
