ScienceDaily (Feb. 28, 2011) — Our willingness to listen to music is biological trait and related to the neurobiological pathways affecting social affiliation and communication, suggests a recent Finnish study.

Willingness to Listen to Music Is Biological, Study of Gene Variants Suggests

You are in a concert hall, listening to music you love, Ludwig von Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. You are happily awaiting the glorious climax in the fourth movement — you know it’s coming — when the full orchestra and chorus erupt with the “Ode to Joy.” The moment is here and you are exhilarated, awash in a sudden wave of pleasure.

We exist despite the sober formality of great concert halls, despite the boredom of classical musicians’ life, despite fanatic lovers of classical music, despite fans of rock, rap or pop who are afraid of classical music.

ScienceDaily (May 27, 2010) — Some 98 to 99 percent of the population has, at some point, been “infected” with a song they just can’t seem to shake off.
