Mozart Effect
The best evidence for the Mozart effect is the effect of W.A. Mozart&#x27;s music on the music written by W.A. Mozart.<p>Compare, say, W.A. Mozart&#x27;s Symphony no. 25 in G minor, to W.A. Mozart&#x27;s Symphony no. 40 in G minor. It cannot be denied that W.A. Mozart-- having heard fourteen other W.A. Mozart symphonies in the interim-- was able to produce a second G minor symphony with greater acuity in both horizontal and vertical musico-spatial puzzle-solving.<p>Even within the 1st movement of W.A. Mozart&#x27;s Symphony no. 40 in G minor, the Mozart effect may be heard. For example, in the development section W.A. Mozart alters a <i>single</i> pitch in main theme that creates horizontal musico-spatial variety while also speeding up the rate at which sonic verticalities change. Such a clever thematic variation would have been statistically unlikely if W.A. Mozart hadn&#x27;t already been listening to the 1st theme of the 1st movement of Symphony no. 40 in G minor by W.A. Mozart.<p>W.A. Mozart&#x27;s output is filled with examples like these.<p>In conclusion, the data is in: listening to W.A. Mozart will temporarily[1] boost your W.A. Mozart.<p>1: Up to 1791, that is. :(
