Disney's 'Music Land' (1935)

This is an amazing cartoon. A Silly Symphonies short from Disney about a young forbidden love between a violin from the Land of Classical and a saxophone from the Isle of Jazz. Their interactions drive the two nations to war, but then they step back and chill out after they learn to respect all kinds of music. Can you name the famous pieces featured? Classical pieces of note include Beethoven’s Eroica and Wagner's 'Flight of the Valkyries'.
