Here’s the [equivalent sequence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5l6R93i9Uo&feature=player_detailpage#t=512) in Vivaldi’s Lute Concerto, for reference. ---

I thought of one more – Bach’s E Major Violin Concerto. Here, the most recognizable voice-leading sequence comes at the beginning, right after the main theme is introduced. [Here’s a rather fast version.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ascdQJ6HGpc#t=7) Not quite what the OP wrote out, but it does start with those repeated notes, then grooves on them, then does both these things at a lower tone, and so forth. ---

There’s also a website called [musipedia.org](http://musipedia.org) where you can look for music you don’t know the name of. ---

I’d say _Winter_ is a closer match because of the repeated 2-note interval (even though _Winter_ has more repetitions than the OP specified), but the Bach extends into a down-and-up arpeggio, a totally different contour. ---

I searched [musipedia.com](http://musipedia.com) for a bunch of repeated notes and found the William Tell Overture. In case the url doesn’t position automatically, start at 9:10. [ROSSINI: William Tell Overture (full version) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoBE69wdSkQ#t=9m10s) But this still isn’t as good a match as the Vivaldi. Differences from the OP are the instrumentation, rhythm, contour past the repeated single notes, and the same repeated notes starting each phrase. ---

Here are more repeated notes in another Rossini piece, the overture to _Semiramide_ (start at 4:24). [- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXNw9iygwwI#t=4m24s) But again, a number of differences from the OP.
