booseytones — 'Classical ringtones for the discerning phone'
It's hard out here for a Shostakovich lover.
Boosey & Hawkes, a major publisher of classical music, offers over 300 pieces from its catalog as $2.99 ringtone downloads.
Bonus: you can listen to each and every one free before you buy.

I shoulda known I shouldn'ta gone there. Aaarg. The first thing that bugged me was that in two places I saw Rossini's overture to "The Thieving Magpie" listed as "Una Voce Poco Fa," which is an aria from "The Barber of Seville." And for Chopin one listing says merely "Polonaise." Now I think he wrote a few of those suckers. I know, that site is intended for ring tones and not for detailed explorations into three hundred musical numbers and anyhow I'm just a whining geek. It may be for "discerning" PHONES, but it is not for discerning listeners. Although listening to the opera ones was a good chance to play a little guess the singer. And anyhow, I hate music excerpts. It's like only getting to look at a little corner of a painting.
Okay, end of whine.
