>Toscanini for a tonsillectomy? Bach for brain surgery?

Well, it's a long time ago, but I remember that when one of our kids was
born, by ceasarean section, the surgeon presiding (is that what surgeons
do?) offered my wife and I Vivaldi or (I think) Bach. I don't think we
chose. Oddly enough, I don't think the choice of baroque listening was
critical to either of us right at that moment....

Strange, because I listen to little else besides baroque music now.....

Draw your own conclusions.
