I had about three hours of budget review on Tuesday. I still have an iPod, so I went to Respighi and and hit "play all." Worked like a charm! But listening to classical can be a double edged sword; sometimes a passage makes me stand up and listen to the music. Happens a lot when play Copland or Bach. The usual safe bet for me is to stream a classical station, but every once and a while something comes on the demands my attention, and work gets pushed off ...
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the pauses. That is the risk of good music.
Respighi is marvelous.
