How do I play the haunting song?

There is a piano. And there is a music box, which plays a little tune on loop. The game wants me to play the first 8 notes from that music box.
There is also this enemy hint: "si re si re si mi si mi". (That's B D B D B E B E for ya yanks.)
I've tried however all combinations of 8 notes that could match up these notes (such as ↑←↑←↑↓↑↓, ↑•↑•↑←↑←, ↓•↓•↓←↓←, etc.) and nothing happens. If I ignore what the monster says and just try to play what I hear, I get ↑↓↑↓•↓•↓ — but that also doesn't work, and neither do slight variations (•↑↓↑↓•↓•↓→). I'm not very good at all at matching notes with sounds, or notes with notes, but what the music box plays and what I'm playing don't sound quite unlike.
What gives?

The correct sequence is:
•↑→•↓•↓→
(That means hit Z, Z-Up, Z-right, Z, Z-down, Z, Z-down, Z-right.)
2Actually, it gives you the answer if you wait, in a dialog text with the statue. The only thing you need to do is memorize that.
EDIT: Turns out you don't have to be in dialog.
I thought it was only z,z-up,z-right,z,z-down,z-down,z-right
0•↑→•↓↓→ (That means hit Z, Z-Up, Z-right, Z, Z-down, Z-down, Z-right.)
