Back to the Grindstone | Classical Music to Focus and Get It Done!
Back to work, no excuses. This playlist is here to help you sit down, focus, and get things done well and fast. The music keeps your brain moving without getting in the way: bright and lively enough to push you forward, but never too loud or too much.
From the crisp energy of Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony and the playful drive of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, to the breezy momentum of DvoĆĂĄk's String Quartet No. 12 and the bright spark of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, over two hours of music to carry you through the whole workday.
Hit play and get it done.
