For some reason the soundtrack from Napoleon Total War inspires me to write better stories. I have no idea why, sometimes the music is entirely unrelated to the subject.
For things related with Admiral Sir George Richard Hall, I use variations of the Fandango, the Folía and the Sarabande.
For Klemens Kossuth, my RM character with Hungarian and Sephardi origins and a violinist, I use the Hungarian Dance n 5 by Johannes Brahms and Di Goldene Pave, an unrelated Yiddish song.
