Hello!
I once heard, that the changes between loud and quiet sections in Mozart's music generally correspond to some rhythm in brain wave patterns. the timing is supposed to be right. But that was years and years ago, so I couldn't quote you an article. but I'm almost sure it was in connection with one of those experiments, where they took three groups, folding paper, cutting shapes into it and then have them imagine, what the final result would look like. I think they were tested on Mozart, Philip Glas and no music. Coming to the conclusion, that the Mozart group had the best results. I can't remember, how the remaining two groups were ranked. - Oh yes, they were all started together with no music, so that there was a way to compare them.
Google for Mozart effect and you will find things like

Note its part of a series on CS education; music is only incidental.
Still if any of you have thoughts/suggestions, Id like to hear
