Dozens and dozens more - too lazy to look up what they were adapted from,
but here are titles:

MY REVERIE - Debussy
THE LAMP IS LOW - Ravel
MY FANTASY (1940)/TWILIGHT (1950)/STRANGER IN PARADISE (1953)- all adapted
from the same Borodin melody
BAUBLES, BANGLES & BEADS - Borodin
AND THIS IS MY BELOVED - Borodin
STORY OF A STARRY NIGHT - Tchaikovsky
FULL MOON AND EMPTY ARMS - Rachmaninoff
TILL THE END OF TIME - Chopin
IF YOU ARE BUT A DREAM - Rubenstein
STRANDE MUSIC = Grieg
HOT DIGGETY - Chabrier
I'M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS - Chopin

And on and on.....
