:clap::clap::clap:What a great idea you had starting this thread! I may add Rachmaninov (any piano concerto will do). I also enjoy listening to Mendelssohn.
Stress is such a strong factor in my epilepsy and music causes me to totally get lost in the sounds, theory, and styles rather than think of my stressful issues of the day.
I've been raised on classical music and is still my most favorite type of music. However, my tastes really vary. I love Debussy, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and Bach as my top 4 favorites. However, I've got two 6-cd players with rock, classical, black gospel, jazz and Indian music all loaded and playing. One play is in my living room, and one player is in my car. I've been told that my tastes are weird sometimes, but I love practially every kind of music available.You are so right! For me it would be several things, Carlos Nakai, Native American Flute; Julian Bream, his Spanish music; Chopin's Muzurkas, and Chinese string [pipa] music. Music can so direct, or redirect my mental and emotional states. What great discoveries are you making in those LPs? I am trying to find a recording, "The Art of Julian Bream," should you come across one. It is one of his earlier works. And I already mentioned Paul Horn, and Tony Scott.
A combination [music to soothe brain waves] is like a great idea!
Zoe, if there is music that you cannot find on CDs anymore (I know I couldn't find a few pieces from Columbia which was bought out by Sony), then try the following sites:You are so right!

I'm not sure if this is a pattern for this condition, but I frequently love to repeat tracks over and over again.
I feel like one of those rats that push the button for a treat. Only my treat is whatever music I want and I love a lot of music. Amazon.com really gets me started. If you buy one CD, they come back with a reply like 'if you like this CD, then you might like to buy ....'. And, I do!It helps...you feel better...you want more...you play it again!
You should also check out the thread I'm Changing My Tune(s) for another aspect of this scenario though!
Science will someday prove how...until then, I trust my instincts on this subject.
