It may well be that you are right about most people, though I hope not.
A commercial classical music radio station in Milwaukee, WFMR, "your
at-work station," is always touting its mission as to provide "relaxing"
music. This makes me sad, because I have always found good classical
music to be exciting rather than relaxing, though--as in the case of
other forms of excitement I will not name here--it helps to be relaxed
first as a precondition.
