I might have a lead here...I'm going to have Bishop bounce it off the "database" before I waste more credits on it. (Approaching 2K credits spent on this...)

I tried what I think my answer is, but no luck. But it's gotta be it.

My thought:

I thought about Flight of the Valkyries when I saw Wagner's name up there as well, but I couldn't think of a part that fits the (poorly) whistled tune. Flight is a bit more up tempo, and would need more than the four notes given to readily identify itself.

And if Flight isn't correct for Wagner's selection, what else could be? It's the most easily recognized song from Der Ring Des Nibelungen.

OK, let's try this:

Wagnerific Link

This is a link to a version of Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries on Amazon. Click the listening sample for track 6. IMHO, that first few seconds is the closest we've gotten to sounding like whatever that dude is whistling.

1. Vienna Blood Waltz

MOST people call that Eine Klein something or other, "A Little Night Music"

I just did every combination of "Vienna Blood Waltz", "Vienna Blood", "Weiner Blut", "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", and "A Little Night Music" possible. Except for "Weiner Blut" with "A Little Night Music", because that would be silly. I used the standard solutions for the others, of course.

I tried the above and also Minuet instead of Celebrated Minuet. Also I used The Toreador Song. I have spent about 3000 credits on this now and feel it is a little bloody stupid to have to be so exact with the answers. I believe the PM's have simply chosen a few of the tracks on this website.

Yeah, I do wish they added a little bit of language recognition to their input mechanisms. It's annoying to know the correct answer but still not get it due to leaving off a 'the' or something.
