I just spent 5 days in Vienna listening to classical music. My IQ should have gone up several points. I just checked my investments. Apparently, it hasn't had any effect yet
I have seen similar but it ties to all music you have a connection with. The subject.in the article played Violin professionally. A strong tie.
If someone were to not enjoy classical, I doubt they would have the same reaction. Unless their mind was activly working to figure out a way to turn off the music.

thanks Marty. enjoyed your post about Vienna. have fun in Munich.
skimmed the article.
over my 30 years of being a crazy serious audiophile, the most significant occurrence has been my evolution of musical focus. gone from 95% pop/rock, 4% jazz, 1% classical in the mid 90's, to now 80% + classical, 10-15% jazz, and around 5% pop rock. string quartets, quintets, piano trio's, piano solo, piano, cello and violin concerto's, and large orchestral are when i live. i'm drawn to it. still don't know a lick about it (and not compelled to learn....more the opposite....trying to not think about it).....but no matter.
it does make me feel good (there are reasons that is what i listen to).........can't say it helps my brain. but maybe it's not hurting.
