I thought it was Chopin, but I can’t find it. It’s definitely piano.

I don’t know how else I might present a melody, so consider this:

It’s in 4/4 time, and the melody begins:

da DA da da DA DA DAA DAA,

where the DA is probably ¼ notes and the little da is 1/8. The long DAA would be half notes. That’s the relationship, anyway.

I don’t know what key it’s in, but if it were in C, it would be like this, with the first G below middle C and the rest at or above:

G  E  E  F  E  C  D…  G…

Is that enough to let you figure it out? If you know the piece, I hope you can recognize it from this.

Thank you.
