Hello, sorry to bother, can you recommend historicals where the hero or heroine play an instrument? Or even don't play but like music

Always Be My Duchess by Amalie Howard: Montcroix a cellist and there's an EXCELLENT scene where he's hard after watching Nève dance and he's trying to play his cello to exercise his frustrations but then she shows up and he proceeds to play her like a cello, vibrato and all.

Theory of Earls by Kathleen Ayers: Maggie plays the piano so stirringly that apparently it borders on wanton for her Victorian audience. The hero Tony is also a gifted pianist and this book features piano fingering, piano oral, and a ruination... on a piano.

Nine Rules to Break When Romancing A Rake by Sarah MacLean: Ralston is secretly a great pianist and he's playing very angstily when Callie sneaks into his house to request that he give her her first kiss.

Patience by Lisa Valdez: Both Matthew and Patience are cellists, I think they duet at some point, and there's a this super hot scene where she's in his lap with her legs spread and they're both playing his cello which leads to more.

Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas: Helen is an accomplished pianist and plays for Rhys in the prior book while he's recovering from his injuries and he's *entranced*. In Marrying Winterborne, Rhys also tries to bribe her into sleeping with him by offering to buy her a new piano. It does work. Kind of.

An Island Princess Starts A Scandal by Adriana Herrera: I mean, they must enjoy the opera enough for Cora to go down on Manuela in their private box during a performance.

In Which Winnie Halifax is Utterly Ruined by Alexandra Vasti: Ditto for Spencer and Winnie ^^

And if you wanna read about endearingly shitty musicians, there's always the Smythe-Smith Quartet series by Julia Quinn.

EDIT:

M is for Marquess by Grace Callaway: Thea and Tremont first meet after she plays the piano and he's super stirred by it and he later admits he wanted to take her on said piano.

Romancing the Stone (1984). A mousy romance novelist sets off for Colombia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure hunting for treasure with a mercenary rogue.

I've never really enjoyed Michael Douglas as a romantic lead, but man, he crackles in this one, in no small part because he and Kathleen Turner have such great chemistry. She gets the richer character arc, but he gets satisfying beats to play opposite her and it makes them a pretty fun dynamic to watch. The movie definitely falls into era-typical sexist and racist tropes, which can be jarring, but outside of that, it's the sort of adventure-rom-com I wish Hollywood was still making. 7/10.

American Graffiti, directed by George Lucas. He made this in 1973, before Star Wars.

Maybe the best movie about white suburban middle class teens then — who were a couple years older than the first boomers. Way before my time, but I feel like I lived it. Some really funny stuff!

There's historical romance with he bent her over the desk and ducks her from behind?

There are lots! Generally what I've found is, you'll get the good stuff if you venture outside Julia Quinn's body of work because her heroes tend to have an ingrained madonna-whore complex that prevents them from doing any bending-over to the *ladies*. Also just to note, this is strictly "bending over desk" moments, which does not include any other kind of desk sex or any furniture that is not a desk (...for the most part).

The Duke Who Knew Too Much by Grace Callaway: Alaric's solution to Emma dictating far too many terms of their engagement in his opinion is to bend her over, toss her skirts up, and finger her while(?) she gives him a handjob. Winners.

Always Be My Duchess by Amalie Howard: This one is actually so hot because of how desperate they were; Montcroix is so taken with Neve's ballet performance that he drags her backstage in a public theater and bends her over a random desk before going for it.

The Truth About Cads and Dukes by Elisa Braden: Harrison and Jane do have sex earlier in the book with her on a desk, but later on, there's a very emotional "make-or-break-our-marriage" sex scene with her bent over a desk and going like "you're going to say I love you by the time this is over" and he's like "noooo" but by the time he's climaxing he's practically chanting it.

Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare: A classic; he bends her over and tries to make recite all his courtesy titles (marquess of this, earl of that, etc.) in order while fucking her but she fails so he does it and he ends it with "and your SLAVE" which was the hottest part imo

The Rogue of Fifth Avenue by Joanna Shupe: Mamie waltzes into Frank's office and taunts him until he cracks, bends her over, and goes to town. This is basically in line with their overall dynamic.

The Design of Dukes by Kathleen Ayers: Okay so he bent her over a sewing table but to be fair, it is where she works so it's kind of her desk(?). But I'm including it because it's so so hot as this man's sternness on full display and he very calmly tells her he's going to fix himself and their engagement while railing her from behind. AND it doubles as a mirror scene.

If you count "table in library" as a desk, then The Education of Ivy Leavold by Sierra Simone fits the bill.
