Classical music and Organic Chemistry
“I'm taking an organic chemistry class, and I like to study to classical music”
Organic chemistry and classical music, what a great combinatin.
“I haven't purchased new music in ages, and it's about time. I need some new stuff in order to keep me studying”
I recommend that you order your cds from Berkshire outlet, the price is very reasonable.

I do not listen to a huge variety of classical music while I am studying, my poor brain can’t handle too many things at one time. Generally music with a wide dynamic / emotional range, pieces that are too distracting, or music that require too much intellectual and emotional involvement. LOL An example is Carmina Burana is too distracting, I never listened to that while studying, another example is Tchaikovsky's symphony # 6
Lab work is totally different, anything goes in a lab. LOL. Generally, I find science and math go well with classical as background. Eng Lit and classical music do not go as well
Since you love Beethoven I recommend Beethoven’s piano quintet. In this naxos disc there are the Beethoven and Mozart piano quintets.

Of course Telemann started the tafelmusic tradition (dinner music) for easy listening, and Mozart followed that up with a lot of divertimentos, and serenades , Mozart’s gran partitia for winds, and Eine Kleine Nacht Music are some examples
