That scene was definitely fairytale style, as was much of the storyline. But I think that sweet, predictable plotting was one of the reasons I really liked this show.

Nothng works like the 1812 to draw in the masses. Our back home orchestra trots it out for The Pops.

Also, in the final episode, I think music stands and chairs appeared out of nowhere for that grand finale. But I need to rewind and check that, for sure. -- It was late when we finished watching Season 2 for our exciting, geezerfied New Year's Eve. But, hey, we had a little wine, too.

I keep my iPad around when watching movies on television because I might have to check on things like.... "Where have I seen that actor before?" or "Am I older than Bernadette Peters?"

Also, I just had to log on to Amazon and order a CD by Lang Lang. (Confession: I did not know about him before. I am a bumpkin.) I chose Rachmaninoff.

I had forgotten how much I like the 1812 Overture. Always thought maybe I could at least play the cymbals. I used to crank up the big Pioneer speakers that were a part of Mr. Boomer's trousseau. He had lugged them back from Okinawa before I met him. Those speakers doubled as our first end tables........whoops, I digress.......

PS: Oh dear.......should that have been RachmaninOV? Oh well, at least I know I am a bumpkin. (sigh)

"Pioneer speakers that were a part of Mr. Boomer's trousseau."

You make me laugh, Boomer.
