Incidental Music / Soundtrack

I just watched my old self-recorded VHS tape of this (with all the original music) and there are 16 other pieces of incidental music (harmonica, organ, piano, Sunshine's flute, etc.) in between scenes, no doubt composed by either Charles Fox or Joseph Turrin, the composer and orchestrator for the film. Unfortunately, they'll probably never release those, however, I WAS able to find the main six songs free online at www.limewire.com - so go there and burn your own soundtrack.

There's also one famous classical piece that Counselor Gary Calahan is listening to in his cabin when Ferris visits him. Anyone recall which piece it is? It's very familiar but the name and composer escapes me.

Thanks!

Second movement of Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuwSMAo3qf4

Can't listen to it anymore without thinking of Little Darlings and the white dress. There's a handful of popular
chamber pieces in the film, I'm guessing because they were cheaper to afford the performing rights to...

All the music in the film, other than the "source music" and "songs" was composed and conducted by Charles Fox... (who also wrote the music to movies like Foul Play, Nine To Five, Barbarella... as well as the song "Killing Me Softly")
