Classical Music?

I recognize a piece of classical music from early in the film but can't place it. It's the piece of music Apple Annie has on when we first see her in her apartment, shooing the cat off the photo of her daughter, which she then wipes off and kisses. Can someone tell me what it's from? It's driving me nuts! Thanks.

The only classical music that I noticed in the film is "The Nutcracker" from Tchaikovsky, in some parts featuring Annie. I'm not completely sure if this music appeared in the scene in which Annie shooes her cat, but I think that is what you mean.

the music in that scene is the Arabian Dance from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker

A little late, but thank you!

The march from the Nutcracker is also heard (in the scene where Apple Annie first appears in her "lady" outfit).
