In "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" from 1939, Basil Rathbone dresses as a "music hall chap," and sings a rendition of "I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside". This was a popular British music hall song written by John A. Glover-Kind in 1907.
He knows a lot about crime and law (obviously), music (classical mostly), chemistry as well
Sherlock Holmes enjoys fencing, talented at fencing but most of all, he loves the violin as well as music itself and to test out new chemical experiments. According to him, his mind starves for things to think and to do.
In Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, Dr. John Watson observes that music has a profound effect on Sherlock Holmes, often serving as a means for him to concentrate or stimulate his mind. Watson notes that Holmes plays the violin during times of deep thought or when he is grappling with a complex case, suggesting that music helps him focus and enhances his cognitive processes. This relationship indicates that, for Holmes, music is not merely a form of entertainment but a vital tool for his analytical prowess.
