And the two more are "String Quartet in G Minor" by Mozart, and "Allegro moderato" from "String Quartet in G Major Op.77/1" by Haydn.

@rapiddominace I agree. It's odd that the series credited none of the music. But I found a website that listed the music of some of the episodes. Episode 9 shows the first one as "Concerto Grosso" by Handel. Others include "St. Matthew Passion" by Bach, "Toccata and Fugue in F" by Buxtehude, "Jauchset, frohlocket" by Bach, "Questo e il cielo di contenti" from "Alcino" by Handel, "Messiah" by Handel, "Von deiner Gut" from "Creation" by Haydn, "Don Giovanni" by Mozart, and two more........

Great series. But as for this episode about music, opera sucks!

Clark pretty much nails it in this one.

Damn these series are brilliant. I keep adding them to my favorites.
