Identify piece of music

What's the name of the piece of music that ends by running down the octave and then playing two notes one step above the octave? So for instance, it may end with B, A G F E D C, C C

where the second and third Cs are one octave above the first C.

You say "the piece of music that ends ...", but I'm sure there are many pieces that end that way. Can you give us any more clues? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 20:32, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had a go at it, but I recalled it from memory so I could have got the melody or rhythm wrong: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=08268986744516099564

I went to that site and got some spam about Windows repair. Now that it's been potentially identified, could you check this item on youtube and confirm it? [And even if not, it's a fun video.] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:39, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
