OK, I admit. I'm a nerd. Not that classical music is all that I listen to, but I listen to it. My favorite artist is Johannes Brahms. I really like Symphony No. 3.
Listen to it if you're stressed.... just close your eyes and viola.

Here is a bit of history about the song, and how it was developed.
Hans Richter, who conducted the premier of the symphony, proclaimed it to be Brahms' Eroica. The symphony was well received, more so than his Second Symphony. Although Richard Wagner had died earlier that year, the public feud between Brahms and Wagner had not yet subsided. Fanatical members of the Wagner cult tried to interfere with the symphony's premiere, and the conflict between the two factions nearly brought about a duel.[1]
After each performance, Brahms polished his score further, until it was published in May 1884. His friend and influential music critic Eduard Hanslick said, "Many music lovers will prefer the titanic force of the First Symphony; others, the untroubled charm of the Second, but the Third strikes me as being artistically the most nearly perfect."[1]
