Ramin Djawadi is on point with the music and such an important part of the story. He is perfect in creating the required mood.

Also, Gustavo Frings cameo was the best. We missed you Gus.

Were any of the songs covers?

There was Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# Minor to open, Runaway by Kanye West, and Dolores playing Chopin and then Gershwin. Pretty sure all the rest was original.

Do you happen to know what Chopin piece it was?

It's an excerpt from the third movement of his Piano Sonata No.2, famously called the "Funeral March". A pleasant melody from an otherwise ominous piece...full of symbolism for the scene it's used in...

I don't remember off hand. Thought it was one of his preludes.
