The television series “Bridgerton” — which seems to have attracted the kind of loyal following that “Downton Abbey,”“Game of Thrones” and “The Crown” inspired — has been a huge hit. 

The first part of Season 3 of the popular and steamy romance set in the Regency-era (1795-1837) about a powerful English family is now available on Netflix. (The second part will be available on June 13.) You can view the season trailer — which has almost 8 million views —in the YouTube video at the bottom.

As usual, the soundtrack uses string quartet covers of pop music. But during the opening of the new season, Francesca Bridgerton (below, played by Hannah Dodd) is revealed to be an accomplished pianist.

But what music does she like?

And what music does she play?

Here is a story — with related links — about those questions from ClassicFM, the British radio station:
