Arrangements include extracts from: Beethoven's Für Elise, Prokofiev's The Duck from Peter and the Wolf, Dvorák's Humoresque, Holst's Jupiter from The Planets, Loch Lomond, Grieg's Morning from Peer Gynt, Elgar's March from Pomp and Circumstance, Chopin's Prelude Op.28, Boccherini's Minuet, Bizet's Air de Toréador from Carmen, Beethoven's Minuet in G, Glinka's Intermezzo, Tchaikovsky's Andante Cantabile from Symphony No.5 , Brahms' Waltz Op.39 and more, some of which I expect you're unlikely to know because I wanted to include an element of musical exploration and adventure.
