What is the song used in the iOS "Typewriter" tone ?

I have iOS 6. There is a tone called "Typewriter" which is based on some classic song. I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the original tune?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

It's Menuet I from "Aus dem Notenbüchlein der Anna Magdalena Bach" composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750).

The tone is in fact based on a much longer tune - they have just used the most recognizable part of the tune. I have heard the actual tune many times when I was a child, long before the iphone came out.


The link you posted is to a song that is nothing like the tone, except for the fact that there is person playing with a typewriter along with the orchestra.
