We have scores from a sardana (Catalan traditional dance), a flamenco song, a piece by Shostakovich or Taylor Swift. There is a wide variety. As we’ve always had. You can find a bolero or a tango. And this variety, from traditional, classical to mainstream allows us to survive.”

“I’ve come to Barcelona because of the enchantment behind the history of Spain. The most attractive aspect of coming here is to see history. When I saw this music store, even though I don’t know much about music, I came here to investigate. Because I find it fascinating. Cultural heritage is found in places like this one.”
16. Various of shoppers in music store
17. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Jaume Doncos, co-owner of Casa Beethoven:
“This type of shops are like the Titanic, slowly sinking. The sinking isn’t fast because we are open many hours and we are located in Las Ramblas with many people walking by. And this allows us to survive. I think it will depend on when we decide to retire. We see the thinking and we know the final is inevitable. But we will look for the right time to close down. I wouldn’t want to close down because the ship is already sunk. I would like to close it down with some dignity.”
