1. Mozart - Nachtmusik
2. Pretty sure it`s Nachtmusik too.
3. Umm...that`s Vivaldi Four Seasons Violin Concerto. You have that don`t you?
4. The only thing I can think of is a passage from 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky.
5. Verdi - La Donna e Mobile (spelling?)
6. More Mozart
7. Definatively heard it before...dunno what it is.
Try listening to Adagio in G by Albinoni. It`s really popular.

Pretty much agree with Harvey. No.4 IS featured in Tchaikovsky`s 1812 Overture but actually it is La Marsseilles, the French national anthem, which was composed in one night during the French Revolution in 1792 by amateur musician Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle when he was serving as a captain in the army. You needed to know that, yes?
In my opinion it is THE BEST national anthem in the world. Being from England I`m sorry to say ours is the worst.
I believe 6 and 7 are Mozart arias but I`m not much up on Opera. I`ll come back if I find out.
I`m interested in the term relaxing music. It initially implies putting your feet up and maybe dozing off but personally I can relax to Shostakovich and Mahler in their most violent vein. However off the top of my head and as I`m English why not try some Elgar? His 2 symphonies are magnificent (as is most of his stuff).

1. Eine Kleine, 1st movement
2. Eine Kleine, 2nd movement
3. Vivaldi, 4 seasons, 1st movement (in the wrong key)
4. Not sure
5. La Donna e Mobile (woman is fickle) from Verdi`s opera "Rigoletto"
6. I`m pretty sure this isn`t Mozart...it doesn`t sound very Mozartian. It sounds like a Baroque composer, most likely Bach. I`ve got it on CD somewhere but I can`t seem to find the CD.
7. Not sure

The off-key version of the 4 Seasons is in F, instead of in E like it should be- only a semitone difference, but if you look at it from the point of view of the circle of 5ths it is quite a remote key.
searching...
