As a young man Darwin acquired a taste for Classical Music while studying at Cambridge University. He often visited King's College there, and would sit for hours listening to the church choir. As far as specific composers go, he loved the symphonies and overtures of Mozart, Handel and Beethoven. In the evenings his wife, Emma, who was quite an accomplished pianist (she was trained by Frederic Chopin), would play for him on her piano forte as he reclined on a nearby sofa.
