Does Mozart Save Lives?

It has been said that listening to classical music can make babies smarter, but now scientists are suggesting that Mozart's symphonies could actually save lives. Japanese researchers claim that listening to performances of Mozart's works and Verdi's La Traviata opera improved the outlook for mice undergoing heart transplants. Compared with monotone sounds, Verdi and Mozart significantly prolonged transplant organ survival, in some cases more than doubling it. However, new age music by Enya had no effect. Whether music could influence organ rejection in humans is unknown.
