You can hear a selection of these pieces in the clip Pigs in a Polka.
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
This piece was written by Franz Liszt and is frequently featured in various cartoons through the decades. It has a very whimsical flair to it.

Ride of the Valkyries from Die Walkure
Die Walkure is the second in an epic set of four operas written by Wagner. Ride of the Valkyries is a particularly well known song derived from that opera.
