Mozart as Reset Button
Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" Allegro from Serenade No. 13 is probably one of the most recognizable pieces of Western classical music. It came up in a conversation about this blog with someone I met recently (shout out to MK!). Seems M. has a friend who is a trained classical musician, and whenever she gets an unwelcome song stuck in her head, she just conjures up this piece, playing as much of it in her mind as she possibly can, and the unruly earworm is magically wiped away. I've been testing it out lately, and, by gum, it seems to work. Let me know your results!
Artist: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Year: 1787
Rating: Warm
Noteworthy: The first song from the 18th Century to make it into the blog!
