What is the classical music played during the MetLife Peanuts promos at the beginning and end of "Live from Lincoln Center"?

Recent broadcasts of "Live from Lincoln Center" (from 2001 onwards) have featured short animated Peanuts promos for MetLife at the beginning and end of the show.

The classical music played by Schroder and an orchestra in the beginning promo is the very end of the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4. Thanks to Eugene Chan for identifying this piece.

The distinctive classical music played by Snoopy and Schroeder in a short animated Peanuts promo at the end is from the fourth movement of the Sonata in A for Piano and Violin, by Cesar Franck. Thanks to Beth Prescott for identifying this piece.
