5. Moonlight Sonata is my favorite.
There's another Beethoven Sonata that I'm really fond of, but I can't remember right off hand which one it is.

6. That was my very first piano recital piece.
I was 6 years old - and it's still one of my favorites. :)

Got the sheet music, but I never get past the first page.

10. I had the music and I got all the way to the second page...
but unfortunately that music book belonged to my parents, so I no longer have it in my posession.

And now I can only remember how to get to the end of the first page. D'oh. :P

3. That's also good for breast feeding.
Listen to a musical record that you associate with nursing. This works best if you play the record initially during actual breastfeeding sessions; then when you're expressing, hearing the same music may help evoke the memory and the sensations you felt then. (Handel's "Water Music" gets high marks from women who enjoy classical music.)

My brain is full of all manner of spermology.

4. Sweet Honey in the Rock
Sweet Honey in the Rock works for me a lot of the time.
Also Chopin etudes.
Also Latin music, for some reason. Buena Vista Social Club, for example.
