It sounds familiar but I can’t place it. OTTOMH it sounds like Haydn. Will see what I can dig up.

I’m wondering whether it was used as a popular ringtone or something…

The other option is a Strauss waltz, I suppose.

My Haydn trawling has not turned up anything yet, but then he wrote so many string quartets and symphonies it’d be hard to find. May try Strauss next.

Well, i asked on reddit. Turns out it’s Cuckoo Waltz by Johan Emanuel Jonasson :-
