Philip Glass vs Mozart
Most of us are aware of the Mozart effect, the study in which subject listening to Mozart while performing cognitive tasks. In most cases they perform better then with no music at all, especially Math, Art, and spacial reasoning. My position is that I much prefer Philip Glass and I would like there to be a comparative study. A study was in-fact done at Flinders University Australia. What was found was that because Glasses compositions have a great deal of repetition they can not create the same effect. For instance Trilogy Sonata for Piano: II. However if you are not the biggest fan of Mozart, Chopin, Bach, and Beethoven come close to the effects according to J S Jenkins, MD FRCP. But really? Beethoven? Questionable!
