Now for the question: what other song is a certain repeated phrase from? The one in question is also the one they end on. Sounds like…Beethoven? Not sure and can’t place it.

Well, at about 1:25 they play a variation on the [Chopin Prelude #20 in c minor](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uTB86idcu0). That’s pretty much the source material for the rest of it.
