LYRIC NOTE: mm. 32 - the current lyric in the score is "'falls" as in “befalls” to match what I saw in the film captions. However, I have seen a variation on some websites as "follows" instead. If it is "follows," the "lows" would land on the & of beat 2. I have both PDFs prepared, so if someone has the official lyrics and it is the other version, please let me know and I will update it accordingly. Thank you :)

“Spring” by Peter Peter from the Heated Rivalry OST. My piano reduction/arrangement of the track with its respective scene from Season 1, Episode 2. It’s fully snow storming at the moment, so playing this to look forward to spring making an appearance soon… I did write the sheet music up for this one (see previous video), but if anyone has leads on publishing, please let me know. Have a lovely day :) #heatedrivalry #soundtrack #shanehollander #ilyarozanov #piano @Heated Rivalry

Classical Music in Heated Rivalry (Season 1)

You may be wondering: “can she consume any form of media that contains classical music without identifying the work?” The answer to that is: apparently not.

Here’s a rundown of the classical music I heard in Heated Rivalry (Season 1). I have only watched the show so far.

Playlist with the classical music mentioned (my picks because the show credits did not list exact recordings): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBjX9Vsck-ACCWRc6LoUtn1X4PFcS5xlc
