    When I find myself sitting in my office on rainy days, trying unsuccessfully to concentrate, I enjoy Debussy, especially the Preludes, Bk. 2.

    At other times, and obviously for other reasons, there is always Wagner . . .

    When I think of music to associate with a straight razor shave it has to be something testosterone filled like the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. However, I don't have the nerve to try shaving while it's playing. And, to induldge in a bit of irony, here it is played by a girl.
