(Baby Einstein $ Score:
) Although all the hype about the learning power of classical music for young children is now being questioned, this CD (which should be subtitled "Light Beethoven") is quite lovely to listen to and likely to be fun for preschoolers to dance, paint, or dream to. Selected movements from Beethoven's sonatas and symphonies are played on piano, bassoon, and keyboard without too much of a synthesized sound.
