I've heard it before but don't know the name. Is it an early Beethoven?

Great day in the morning! Are you telling us that you've reached the E-pitch?!? Man, I'd love to hear some of your thoughts about your experience so far. I'm still on C.

Naturally, I'd hope that you're starting to recognize and identify all your pitches-to-date in your musical experience, and that you can now recall any of them instantly and flawlessly on demand-- theoretically, that's what should be happening, but theory don't mean nothin' next to the real thing, and I'm sure I couldn't begin to imagine your actual psychological experience as you perceive it yourself. If you've got anything to share I'm sure it'd be welcomed.

As for the melody... hm... it was a tad careless of me not to keep better track of the sources. They're all in the public domain, and I tried to use famous composers or familiar melodies (in their original keys, of course). In this case, I've labeled the E-melody as "E-Chopin"... so it must be a Chopin piece, but I don't think I made note of which Chopin it is. Sorry about that..!

Found it! The song's called 'Prelude in A' (op28-7)

Groovy. Here's what I wrote for the others:

C - Mozart
C#/Db - Abel
D - Joplin (The Entertainer)
D#/Eb - Bach or Bizet (I have two; I'm not sure which I used)
E - Chopin
F - Ascher
F#/Gb - Bach
G - Bach
G#/Ab - Chopin
A - Bach
A#/Bb - Chopin
B - Chopin
