Baroque Music Snippet on "GTD Fast" CD??

[Anonymous]

At one point in this CD set, DA talks about using music to inspire him to get in the mood to do his weekly review. He then powers up a snippet a baroque music from his computer.

Does anyone recognize that piece of music? Thanks!

I also believe it is Bach's Brandenburg Concerto # 3.

If you like this tempo & style, you might also want to check out Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons". especially the Spring (E Major) and Autumn (F Major).

Sorry, I don't hear it. I borrowed 3 or 4 artists donig Bach's Brandenburg Concerto # 3 and, although it's a pretty piece, none of them sounded like the snippet played on the GTD Fast CD.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I also loved that snippet of music. I don't think it's from Brandenburg Concerto #3 either. Hate to make extra work for Davidco but wonder if they would have the name of piece and composer.

No worries either way. I was thinking of playing it for my local music guru to see if he can identify it. If I get the name will post it for everyone interested.

Concertos for Recorder - Telemann & Vivaldi

[Busydave]

Just wondering – does anyone know if there are any CD compilations of baroque music chosen specifically for their thinking aid qualities?

I have several collections of Bach concertos (concerti?) but each concerto consists of a fast, a slow, and another fast movement. The tempo of the slow movements does not meet the sixty beats per minute requirement. Have there been any collections of just fast movements published?

(I know this is sacrilege to music lovers, but I will still listen to the complete compositions another time, honest!).

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but a good place to look for classical cd's is the stores who resell and/or consign cd's, videos, games, etc. if there are any near you.

There are a couple near my office and I drop in from time-to-time to see what they have in the classical selections. These places are popular with the young people looking for rap, rock, and associated music, so they usually price the classical cd's (if they even accept them) dirt cheap.

What is this sixty beats per minute requirement?

Hi Tes

It’s the beats-per-minute required to get the brain up to optimal revs. David has a segment about it on GTD Fast – I also came across it at a speed-reading class. It seems to cause a “bright and breezy” frame of mind where thinking and creativity are easier. I find it works.

I will just have to learn how to get the program function on my CD player to work so that I can skip the slow tracks.
