Name that tune!

[Swammerdami]

This might make a fun game, but actually I'm just trying to remember the name and composer of a classical melody. I'm sure the melody is very famous. The first eleven notes seem to be the same pitch; maybe that's enough to give it away. (I Googled "classical melody 11 notes the same" but got nowhere.) Here's the melody, with lower-case used for shorter notes: (I'm sure there are mistakes in my rendering here, but I hope it's close enough.)

G g g G G. G g g G.
G g a b B F f g A a
E e e E E e f# g# A.

Help please.

Problem solved. This is the theme from Beethoven's 7th Symphony, 2nd Movement. The orchestra plays a LOT more notes than I depicted!

Now it seems obvious to me.
