- ↑ Dolore
- ↑ Animo, probably Animé or Animato
- ↑ Con Tenerezza
- ↑ Adoucir, probably the French term, but it's not directly related to music, could be something like soften in this context

- ↑ Probably Abandonné, from French abandonned
- ↑ From French Volonté meaning will. Note how this chapter mimics Hibike! Yūfoniamu (響け！ユーフォニアム)
