Best Study Music

The best study music, focusing on music without lyrics.

Baroque/Classical/Romantic Study Music:

Bach’s ordered Baroque music makes a great companion to study, and as an added bonus many of his pieces are also quite long.

Tocatta and Fugue in D minor

Beethoven’s music is often just that bit too passionate to be used to study with, but there are a few pieces that are just subdued enough.

Pathetique

Violin Concerto in D Major

Water Music in Suite F

Elvira Madigan Piano Concerto

Jupiter Symphony

While many of Hans Zimmer’s soundtracks tend more towards a fast pace unsuited to study, his soundtrack for Thin Red Line is very good.

Light

James Horner ‘s soundtrack to the motion picture A Beautiful Mind is really a great accompaniment to study. Particularly notable tracks are:

Track 04 – Creating Governing Dynamics

Track 05 – Cracking the Russian Codes
