If you have an A4 scanner available, scan the document in two overlapping parts and then use something like Hugin to stitch them together

Can a mobile scanner app be used for this? A reasonably good mobile camera can give quite a good scan. And most scanner apps can correct minor (camera, angle) misalignments so as to give a rectangular image saved as a PDF file.
I'm talking of free scanner apps. Priced ones may be even better.

Ah, Bach ...
If you want to "pimp it up" a bit, I'd suggest Wendy Carlos "Switched on Bach". There seems to be a terrible YouTube video labeled "Switched on Bach (midi)", which should be avoided. Instead try the sample here: Switched-On Bach - Wikipedia

Yes. Although if you'd asked where it came from, I couldn't tell you. Thanks for reminding me.

When you're done be sure to Bach up your work.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Yes, this is extraordinary quality, but  ... my brain seems not comfortable with any kind of distraction while coding, reading, writing, ... In my case, the best option is complete silence in my work environment . However, while driving or taking a break, I can appreciate some good tracks, including classics like Bach ...

While programming (and almost constantly) I listen to instruMENTAL jazz -- no words or I skip the track.
I have a paid pandora account (no commercials) that plays all manner of smooth jazz like:
I think jazz musicians are innovative and amazing.
Spyro Gyra
Euge Groove
3rd Force
Fattburger
Kim Waters
The Rippingtons
Peter White
Jeff Lorber
Fourplay
Chris Standring
Ray Obiedo
Dave Koz
Candy Dulfer
Rick Braun
Ronny Jordan
Acoustic Alchemy
Larry Carlton
Paul Hardcastle
and many, many more.
I started listening to Spyro Gyra suggested to me by a college room-mate in 1985 and was hooked. If you listen to that original album from Spyro Gyra Catching the Sun[^], you'll probably be convinced to listen too. 
and, I've tried classical music and I love some good classical, but the dynamics are so immense that at times you can't hear it and then other times it's cannons going off so I stick with jazz.

Agree with most of your list. I have a couple of Spyro Gyra tapes around here somewhere. No player now, why do I keep them?
Alas, music and hearing aids are not friends.
Saw Dave Brubeck in person many (many) years ago.
Close friend, who was with us, knew the bass player (Jack Six), had played with him in a big band back in the day.
Met Jack the next day, interesting guy.
All gone now. Thanks for the list.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

Jazz, mostly big bands from the 50's and 60's.
But anything without lyrics, works to get me into the zone.

As I now wok from home I don't need music as it is quiet, however when I was in the office I would listen to J.S. Bach's Well Tempered Clavier or the Goldberg Variations.
In the car I will listen to Bach's choral pieces, but anything with singing tends to distract me rather than help concentrate - even if it is in German or Latin.

Lots of classical music and jazz here.
I would listen to Motorpsycho, Magma or Dream Theater.

It's rare these days that I listen to music while coding...too many interruptions. Friday afternoon was an exception though as I've had siding being installed for two weeks now. The hammers were banging away above my head and I needed something to drown them out so I cranked up Dream Theater's 'Systematic Chaos', one of their darker/heavier albums from 2007. That was followed by one of their more recent (and hugely underrated) concept albums, 'The Astonishing'. I won't put links. If people don't know who they are already, it's probably not their cup of tea.
At any rate, I got in almost 3 hours of uninterrupted listening/coding and got over a major hurdle on a newish project. I was able to complete the week's task with 2 hours to spare.
At the moment, I'm listening to the sounds of silence abstracting the complexities of a customer request to enable invoicing at another level.
