On the website for Classical MPR, I saw an advertisement trying to encourage people to support "another year of relaxing music". There are all sorts of albums of classical music that say "Relaxing Classical for Sleeping","Music for Studying", "Calm Piano Sleep Music ", etc. Maybe there aren't even that many advertisements, but the few advertisements that are there do have an effect. If that's what the supporters of classical music advertise it as, wouldn't someone assume that they must be right, and that relaxing is all it is.

Just look up "relaxing classical" on Google, iTunes, Spotify, Youtube, Amazon, etc. There will be all sorts of those albums.
