I would greatly appreciate your findings. >"Merci beaucoup". > > Martine: Although I have no direct experience with music therapy for PD, I would think that "hard-driving" music such as Bach, Mozart, and (since you are French) Rameau, Charpentier, and Lully, would be good. Of course, I am a fan of Renaissance and Baroque music; but there is an energy in this music that I would think could "energize" people who were "slowed down" by the effects of PD. The "all-time best" for this type of music, however, is the Italian master, Vivaldi, whose music (for me) always gets me "moving"!
