I believe that would ba a wonderful tune by the name
of "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C? minor "Quasi una fantasia".

Also more well known by the name "Moonlight Sonata" by Ludwig van Beethoven.

"It was completed in 1801.[1] It is rumored to be dedicated to his pupil,
17-year-old[2] Countess Giulietta Guicciardi,[3] with whom Beethoven
was, or had been, in love.[4] This was one of Beethoven's most popular
sonatas.

The name "Moonlight" Sonata derives from an 1832 description of the first
movement by music critic Ludwig Rellstab, who compared it to moonlight
shining upon Lake Lucerne.[1][5]

Beethoven included the phrase "Quasi una fantasia" (Italian: Almost a fantasy)[6]
in the title partly because the sonata does not follow the traditional movement
arrangement of fast-slow-[fast]-fast. Instead, the Moonlight sonata possesses
an end-weighted trajectory; with the rapid music held off until the third movement.
To be sure, the deviation from traditional sonata form is intentional. In his analysis
of the Moonlight sonata, German critic Paul Bekker states that “The opening
sonata-allegro movement gave the work a definite character from the beginning...
which succeeding movements could supplement but not change. Beethoven rebelled
against this determinative quality in the first movement. He wanted a prelude, an
introduction, not a proposition.”. "
