It seemed that cartoons were primariy sources for kids to be exposed to classical music. We all watched them . . . we didn't know the name of the piece, but you couldn't watch 2 cartoons without hearing some classical music. Also you probably couldn't watch 10 cartoons without hearing Liszt's C# minor Hungarian Rhapsody in atleast one (if not over half) of them.

When Mitch still went by Mitchell, he played some pretty nice little bagatelles by Alec Wilder (who wrote film scores for, I think, Columbia Pictures). One, in particular, that I remember, is "Air for Oboe and Orchestra" which I enjoyed . . . the orchestra was directed by a close friend of Wilder, one Francis A. Sinatra.

Somewhere I have several 78's of those Wilder/Sinatra collaborations featuring several other big name players playing airs & concerti featuring their primary instrument. Some of these recordings were, I believe, used in cartoons and childrens' movies.
