W: What kind of music do you like listening to?
M: I like music that has a fast beat and is lively like dance music. You know, I go to a disco almost every week. Sometimes it’s too loud though. You prefer classical music, don’t you?
W: Yes, I do. I find it very relaxing. I often listen to Mozart or Bach in the evening after a hard day at work.
M: I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music. It’s certainly more sophisticated than modern dance music.
W: Classical music is supposed to be good for your brain. Researchers suggest that it makes your brain more active. Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better.
M: Really? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often. I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress.
W: Yes. That’s why I listen to it in the evenings. I usually play it as background music while I’m cooking or doing other housework.
M: But what is the origin of classical music?
W: Er, classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western culture, including both religious and secular music. Well, a more precise term is also used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 which is called the Classical Period.
M: I see. I’ve got a few classical music CD’s. I should follow your lead and increase my brain power.
W: You can find plenty of recordings on the Internet too. You can listen to samples and then buy them very cheaply if you like them.
M: That’s a good idea. You should do the same with some music. You might find something you like. Classical music might make you clever, but dance might make you livelier and happier.
W: That’s true. There’s clear evidence that people who listen to lively music are lively people. Music can influence a person’s feeling and character.
