Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 21 - Andante



As a very very young lad, one of the first things that I noticed in our house was a Philips demo tape that was provided as an accompaniment to a cassette player once purchased. I had no idea what the tape contained, but I was transfixed. The music was so ebullient, so thoughtful, and so complex. I was in love with it.


Years later, I realized that the music was that of Mozart. To this day, children around the world are transfixed when they chance upon good classical music. It's no secret why ... it must appeal to areas of the brain that are somehow known to be acute and leading to 'Flow' or optimal experience (as researched by Prof.Csikszentmihalyi Mihaly)
