There were a host of snippets taken from classical music composers such as Giaccomo Rossini (the most famous with the fanfare from "William Tell"), Franz Liszt (from "Les Preludes"), Maria von Weber ("Die Freischutz") and a bunch of other composers. I understand there was a book published that enumerated all the music used which was found in both the radio show and TV series of "The Lone Ranger". I've never been able to locate it, however.
I think my love for classical music came from the radio series because of all these snippets. Since the music was faded out before finishing, I naturally wanted to know where it went from that point on. When I think about it, I find "The Lone Ranger" cost me a lot of money buying LPs, cassettes and CDs over the years.
