Cool! Whip up some Berlioz for your timid rottweiler and let me know how that goes.

It's also a good way to calm a cranky baby, or at least my cranky baby.

And to make babies smarter.

How much $ did they spend to find evidence of the already known for decades if not centuries fact that "Music Calms The Savage Beast"?

I loved classical music as an annoying teenager. At least some of the more popular pieces.

The actual quote is "Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast," the opening line to the poem Mourning Bride, 1697.

Also... what type of classical music? I'd be a lot more impressed if they broke it down by tempo or key or whatever that music stuff has.
Yeah I'm not a music guy.

My dog howls along sometimes when my wife is playing the piano. Then again, he puts his ears down and whines when I put on some Slayer.

I'm thinking Carmina Burana, O Fortuna is very soothing.

clearly it's stravinsky's rite of spring... I usually play that during riots in france and it just calms everyone down.
