Pavia University in Italy has released the results of a study on the effects of different types of classical music on heart activity. What they've found is that crescendi increase blood pressure and heart rate while diminuendi did the opposite. Fair enough. What they're saying though is that for recovering stroke patients, music like "Nessun Dorma, full of crescendos and diminuendos is best and could help stroke rehabilitation."
Now we'll never hear the end of it from the tenors.....
