Question

Passage
Most people over a certain age will have discovered relaxing qualities of music.
But classical music may have tangible medical benefits too, researchers have
found. Beethoven's slower symphonies were found to reduce the circulation,
including a state of physical calm which may have benefits for stroke and heart
attack victims. The effect was so dramatic that scientists believe music could be
used instead of drugs in some cases to reduce heart rate and blood pressure. It
might come as little surprise that fast, loud music had the opposite effect. But
that does not mean that all modern music should carry a health warning.
It was tempo rather than style which had the most marked effect on
cardiovascular activity. Faster music and more complex rhythms speeded up
breathing and circulation. Irrespective of style, with fast classical and techno
music having the same impact.
Similarly, slower or more meditative music had the opposite effect with raga
creating the largest fall in heart rate. The study also found that passive listening
to music induces varying levels of arousal, depending on the tempo. While calm
is induced by slower rhythms or pauses in the music.
