Thanks for doing this @JT7!
I was planning to get all the YT clips but ran out of time. I’m glad you gathered them all in one place, and you did it on your own initiative. 🙂
Thank you, too, @Snow_Flower, for identifying the musical pieces!!
I’m reposting @JT7’s link out here so it’s easy for us to find later.

Thanks for compiling all this classical pieces @JT7! I promise to listen and enjoy it. ☺️
I just finished watching it and dang it show! 😡 Jun dying and still lying at the last 30minutes. What a waste! ☹️ He always had his way of what?protecting the people that he cares about? Nah, you’re better off telling the truth and let them give you all the support and love that you need. They can even pray for to have a full recovery. If I were Rara I wouldn’t talk to him for another 5 years. Let’s see what happens then.
I think I won’t watch any of this writer’s drama after this. 😆 It’s like one of those cdramas where it’s really good but the ending goes off the line and looses it. Sigh.
And because I was upset I forgot to add my top 3 songs. I’ll take them instead of the crappy ending. 😂

Thank you to JT7 and @Snow_Flower for the compilation. I identified them all, except for Widmung. I just couldn’t put a name to it, although for me the piece holds one of the most poignant phrases in the Romantic repertoire.
I haven’t viewed the final episodes yet, but agdr03 hints that a 19th-century ending may be on its way. I can cope with that. The tragedy of Jun’s friend’s death has been running through the episodes like an ominous and inevitable under-current.
I knew it. It all ends with a 19th-century trope, except that Jun doesn’t get consumption (TB); he contracts leukemia instead. But it generates the grief among his friends and loved ones which one expects, and I’ve got to say the director/screenwriter handle it rather well. A particularly good touch is leaving Jun technologically frozen in time (death) at the end of the final concert, with the possibility, in this case, of him coming back into life later on.
However, I’m in agreement with agdr03. I don’t think friends and loved ones should be excluded from the dying/healing process, but Jun’s looking death in the face, and can’t be thinking with his usual rational calmness. I think his leave-taking of Jong-Bin is rather beautiful (again, the 19th-century Romantic tradition). Although the ending of the series has a lot of sadness in it, I think it works and can honestly congratulate the screenwriter.
Most welcome! I think this was one thing I liked about the show: they took the effort to weave in the classical pieces meaningfully.
I just read that the child actor who played Jae Min apparently couldn’t play the piano, but by the end of the show he was able to play his pieces: https://www.instagram.com/p/CID2mG9HG63/?igshid=1si74recanzw2
@agdr those were my fav songs too!
I agree @JT7. I was impressed with the selection of classical music. Good job, show.
