Hello Talk Classical members,
I'm a novice when it comes to classical music, but I'm attempting to broaden my knowledge. I've started to train my ear and brain to identify commonly heard pieces in pop culture and children's piano lessons. One game I play with friends is IDing pieces in movies.
For example, I easily identified Strauss's The Blue Danube waltz in the following film, but I had trouble with another piece. Can you help? Here we go:
Can you help me ID a piece from Steve Martin's film Roxanne (1987)?
It is heard during the scene when Martin's character is writing and mailing many letters to Roxanne (at approximately 1 hour 22 min).
Please find the mp3 here:

It sounds so familiar, so I'm guessing many members will ID it immediately.
Thanks to everyone!
