Hi Blue Owl, your answer to my post was the song I was looking for. I found it in my sheet music and the music sheet I have says Ludwig van Beethoven -- Minuet in G. However, it's not the same as the sheet music appearing in the video you posted with your response. My sheet music has no "double notes" such as playing CE, DF, GE, DFsharp at the same time in any key! No wonder I didn't recognize it as the song I was looking for. The version I have is contained in the music book "Big Book of Beginner's Piano Classics".

Is there a difference between "Menuett" and "Minuet in G?" If not, all I can think of is that my version has been "dumbed-down" for beginners. Is this a common practice?

I'm going to search for the version shown in the video as that's the version I played.

Thanks again.
