'Lark Ascending' piano goes on show

The piano on which Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote all his major works -- including 'The Lark Ascending' -- has gone on show at his childhood home in Surrey.

An anonymous collector has given it to the National Trust.

The upright piano has been restored and, as our correspondent Duncan Kennedy discovered, it's inspiring music to this day.
