Listening to Mozart does NOT help you relax more than listening to other music. There is no such thing as the Mozart effect. Its just another marketing scheme. People should just listen to what they enjoy. And there is probably no bigger Mozart fan than me.. lol
I absolutely agree with you. I'm no casual fan of Mozart and it's not pleasing to me that Mozart got tagged with it.
The researchers who did the study of how music can improve spacial recognition happened to use a piece by Mozart. In reality it could be any music that please one.
That wasn't the focus of my post. Sorry if you were misguided. Mozart is my musical hero biased on his ability as a composer. Not any market scheme.
