What is this piece?

A melody I heard long ago. I once knew the name, but I have forgotten it.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_p7bMZnJZ9k

Update:

It is a classical piece, more properly considered "light classic" or "pop classical". It was used as theme music for a soap opera in the '40s, so it is not modern. I heard it once several years ago on the classical music station.

Update 2:

I have found it! Is is from a ballet "Harlequinade" by the Italian composer Riccardo Drigo. Is is called

"Notturno d'amore"

It was first performed in St Petersburg in 1900.
