I'm in Brussels at the moment - the inspiration for this thread came when I needed to answer nature's call at Bruxelles Midi station this morning, and on entering the Gents was surprised to hear .... a bizarrely saccharine electronic arrangement of Schubert's Ave Maria.  Distinctly surreal.

Any other recollections of really strange use of piped classical music?

I'm not sure it qualifies as muzak, but I remember finding the use of a rhythmically-"enhanced" Prelude to La Traviata a singularly inappropriate thing to be hearing while riding on the Gallopers at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Huh

Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf' entflossen,
Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!
