Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto n. 2 in C minor especially the part from 1:30 to 2:50 or so.

I love the signature riff at 7:30 ~ depending on tempo of who you listen to....


Next I think of Beethoven, Pathetique. op 13, the 'Midnight blue...'

A nice waltz, Die Fledermaus...note the actual waltz is slower than in the intro, wife and I saw that at the Met. Lovely.

Again the end user is the target. Sergi R. has some great stuff, but it would be called Northern Vast sweeping expanse, and you have Sibelius in somewhat the same boat, though you could argue the Tzar's influence on Finland was responsible for the 'russianization' of a country. And Sibelius spent many years going from that perspective with Swedish / Russian influence being contrasted with the traditional Finnish, where did that culture and language come from...thing.

The advantage of using classical music or chords from some other song with the soundtrack function is you end up with something that is not under copyright.

There are some classical music pieces included with band in a box. Have a look. Change out the style for a soundtrack one, lots of those are midi so it's dependent on how your synth sounds. Violins, synth pads etc. sound on as good as the hardware or software in the syth.
