I'm being driven mad by a theme which I know perfectly well is by Schubert,
. My inner ear hears it on piano, not too fast, triple time, legato, but can
detect neither vocal part nor other instruments with it; and that's as far
as I can go. And never have I been more annoyed at not having perfect pitch!
(Although I suspect flats rather than sharps, and it's definitely in the
major.)
I once came across a dictionary of musical themes, for which you either
'translated' the theme you wanted to look up into tonic solfa or else
transposed it into the key of C. This would give either, say, doh-re-me, or
C-D-E, in which guise you could then look it up. Is there an on-line
version, does anyone know?
