The tune of this - which was described as "German Dance" in my beginner book - was one of the very first things I learned to play on the piano when I first restarted lessons.
I had no idea it was an actual piece with an actual name (rather than a motif or snippet grabbed from a larger work, and modified For the Beginning Pianist):
(And yes, I admit, my snotty inner 12 year old giggles a little at the German name of it: "Schlittenfahrt." When I took a short course in Conversational German and we were doing the verb Fahren (to go or to travel or to drive), the teacher essentially told us to get our giggles out up front because most every Anglophone she taught, no matter how old, giggled at "Er fahrt.")
