Cello Suite No. 1, Prelude - J.S. Bach

I'm a great fan of classical music. Actually, let me amend that. I'm a great fan of baroque music. Around the age of 11, I discovered how comforting and calming it can be, and how conducive it is to a great study atmosphere. Of course, there's a world of difference between, say, Tchaikovsky's boisterous 1812 Overture or Rossini's wild William Tell Overture (neither of which are baroque, of course), and calmer pieces like this.

Simply put, aside from the frequent ability for baroque music to create an ideal study atmosphere, it just puts one at ease. Give this a listen and see if it doesn't calm you down.
