You're standing at the Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall tucked into the narrow streets of Barcelona's old town. Look at the corner of the building. That big sculptural group by Miquel Blay represents Catalan music. Now look up at the balcony. Every column there is covered differently in colourful pieces of glazed tile, mostly in floral designs. Above them are busts of Palestrina, Bach and Beethoven, with Wagner around the side.
