Johann Sebastian Bach especially "Air". Or soft classic with strings.

Thats what I listen to when playing chess.

BBC Radio 3 is broadcasting Bach's complete works continuously over ten days and nights, starting now:

Yes, Bach's Moonlight Sonata is such a popular favourite.

If I were you I wouldn't bother with the tests.

I've been declining for quite some time now.

I blame my sleeping habits.

When I was in school, my music teacher would play Mozart during tests. I knew all the answers anyways so I was unable to ascertain if it worked. Thanks for the heads up.😉
