#for the yearning you really can’t go wrong w the second movement of classical era pieces

[luthienne]

say i was making a playlist abt ballet dancers going from rivals to lovers and wanted some classical composition recs that might mirror the journey, would u have any lmao

ahh this is honestly such a personal thing i think. i can tell you the pieces that hold that kind of tension for me but it might not resonate w your conception of these characters and their journey. but here are a few ideas:
