0:24 - Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (Op. 27 no.2 ), Third movement.

0:52 - Debussy - Arabesque no. 1

1:09 - Too short, didn't catch it.

You both missed  the 1st movement of Beethoven's Tempest sonata (No. 15), it comes right after the Debussy Arabesque. It's only a few bars but enough to recognize it.  ;D

1:09 is the middle part of Rondo alla Turca, I wonder how you didn't know it.

The one I didn't catch was the Tempest. Well done, you have fast ears!
