Nearly all of the songs on this list of replacements are used in many different forms of media entertainment. However, I would never call them cliche because I respect all classical composers. To insult Chopin is... something I will withhold commenting on. Liszt received great inspiration from Chopin as well as Paganini. Chopin's compositions greatly influenced many composers from that era including Debussy. I am not sure which composition you get "rolled his head on the piano" from, but I assure you no classical musicians or composers share your sentiment.
You got rid of my Chopin :'( I mean I'm fine with getting rid of the nocturne, but the wonderful polonaise... Well whatever, everything else that you added i guess makes this the better choice anyways.
Again, you can just delete the file that overwrites the song you don't want replaced. The song list on the description page has the corresponding files: for the chopin songs, you'd lose out on dvorak and a beethoven, but would keep your chopin. If you don't want to lose the dvorak, you can always rename that file into something you do want to replace. I'm unrefined and a moron apparently for my view that Chopin rolled his face on the piano and people went crazy.
You... you... removed Edvard Grieg's Morning Wood from the Peer Gynt suite? Dang.
Although I do like classic, the list you made is not so my thing. Not too bad (for my taste!), but not really my thing.
I'd love to see plentiful of Beethoven, Bach, hell, even Karl Orff's Carmina Burana or the Wagner collection. I prefer the heavier stuff, myself.
Be honest: chasing down Deathclaws on The Walkure, or having a chill on Beethoven's 7nth, 2nd movement, what can beat that? Of course, Black Metal, or decent Death Metal, but still, we were talking Classic (and Opera on my side...).
Morning Wood just makes me think of Bugs Bunny and cliche scenes that have repeated in media so many times.
It's easy to keep Morning Wood in if that's your thing:
Just delete the file added that has Morning Wood in the filename. You'll keep the default song in the playlist, but will lose out on the Sorcerer's Apprentice song. If you rename some files, you can switch around which songs you're replacing.
The list on the main page of songs added and songs replaced correspond with each other. I'll number them so it is easier to match up which is which.
I am not sure if your renaming is intentional, but the sequence from Grieg's Peer Gynt you removed is not called "Morning Wood". I think @Kipperken was referring to this earlier. It is generally referred to as "Morning Mood" (Morgenstemning in Norwegian).
Also, you removed the Faust Overture from Schumann's Scenes from Goethe's Faust (Szenen aus Goethes Faust), not Wagner's Overture. Schumann was a conservative belonging to the Leipzig Conservatory and his music is very different from the more radical Wagner.
Quyx. Sorry, low brow humor. I'll change it on the main page though so I don't confuse folks. I realize now this may be the first exposure some folks get to some of this music.
Regarding the Faust Overture, I had no idea. I truly don't know much about this stuff -- interestingly, the filename Bethesda used is mus_institute_wagner_faustoverture. Thanks, I'll update the page.
I have very limited experience in modding for this game -- so likely no. And i'm not sure that it is possible yet until the proper GECK tools are released.
The line in .ini file should read "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, INTERFACE\, TEXTURES\, SOUND\, MESHES\, MUSIC\, LODSETTINGS\, SCRIPTS\, VIDEO\" once you change and save the file. If you save it, and reopen it later and it does not say that, then you may want to try making the file Read Only so nothing messes with it.
If you're talking about the actual sound files, if you used NMM or manually placed them, there should be a variety of files in ...Fo4\data\sound\fx\mus\radio\institute. If they are not there, put them there.
Those are really the only 2 steps and if you're not hearing the sounds in-game, then there might be something else conflicting somehow.

Combined this with a few other classical music mods using JRavens Extra Tracks.
Non-stop death and mayhem to the classics.
Dang.

some modders (of many different fields) updated their mods using this, maybe it is worth you checking it out if you havent already
also, thanks for the selection, it is much better than the other (upbeat classical) mod, and the vanilla
very good, we seem to have similar tastes
