Grand Central Terminal is the most beautiful Beaux-Arts architecture and historic landmark in New York. In early summer this year, I finally had the opportunity to visit Grand Central on my fourth visit to the city.
I was motivated to visit Grand Central by an article I read about the power of classical music. It said: In the 1990s, the crime in Grand Central Terminal was rampant, when the former prosecutor-turned-mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani took office. Mr. Giuliani adjusted the background music system, using high-quality audio equipment playing Mozart’s classical music all day long, resulting in significantly reducing crime by 33%!
With such a creative way to solve the thorny problem of the high crime rate, I think Mr. Giuliani must be a wise mayor and a lover of classical music. I also love the music of Mozart, its gentle and moving melodies seem to touch the depths of one’s soul.
