Classical Ballet Ringer Tones

I recently realized that classical ballet melodies were perfect for ringtones because they are swinging and melodic. Try them out and you will discover melodies that you might already know without knowing that it belonged to the classical ballet repertoire.

These melodies are available for most models of the following brands:
Nokia
Ericsson
...and some models of:
Alcatel
Audiovox
Motorola
Philips
Samsung
Siemens
...through the URNS format.

* Check if your specific model of phone accepts programmable melodies.

The excerpts provided here are not a 100% accurate reproduction of the original, they are adaptations. For example, endings may have been modified to fit the short duration of a ringtone.
