That magical feeling, just like in a fairy tale. All’s well that ends well. Eyes filled with tears of joy. Who would not wish for a happy ending? And how about happy endings in music? Can music give us the feeling that everything is just as it should be? Something beautiful ends, and something full of promise begins.
