Well, it's not this...
"Les tringles des sistres tintaient" from Carmen



It sounds like it was something composed for the show.


This might help track it down.

Series Music Department

Steven Rasch ....  music supervisor / music editor (59 episodes, 2001-2011)
Luciano Michelini ....  composer: theme music (38 episodes, 2000-2004)
Wendall J. Yuponce ....  additional music and arrangements by (10 episodes, 2000)
Evan Greenspan ....  music clearance / music services (9 episodes, 2009-2011)

Music

The show is punctuated between scenes with music orchestrated by Wendell Yuponce (first season), and from a music library company called Killer Tracks (seasons two to five).[31] Frequently heard are instrumental arrangements of the whimsical "Three Little Maids From School Are We" from The Mikado, and the rhythmic Gypsy dance "Les tringles des sistres tintaient" from Carmen. The opening and closing theme song (not mentioned in the credits) is "Frolic" by Italian composer Luciano Michelini. Larry David heard the music used in a bank commercial years before the show was created and thought it had a lighthearted, joyful quality.[32] An unofficial soundtrack was released by Mellowdrama Records in 2006.[33]



You've enough to find out which episode it was.  Find the credits from that, find the composer or music organizer.   

You could listen through the show's soundtrack CD and see if it's in there.

Also not this....

Frolic by Michelini
... although the style sounds similar.  Tuba bassline. 



There you go...
Episode 58, "The N Word" (season six)
For the whole series.... Release Date:   15 October 2000
... So this must be from 2006, ie not Yuponce and not Killer Tracks.


Also not this....
Three Little Maids From School Are We" from The Mikado



Ah, here's the episode...

2007, not 2006.

Music Department
Steven Rasch ....  music supervisor (as Steve Rasch)


It's got to be in the credits for that episode. You could watch the whole episode and find more snippets of the music from that scene possibly.


Here's another clip from that show.

(Warning: Contains swearing.)

They use 'bumper music' to separate parts of the show. 


It's either some bumper music or a snippet of something else.  ...which doesn't really help.

https://www.amazon.com/Curb-Your-Enthusiasm-Various-Artists/dp/tracks/B000FDJ31Y/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1

That lists track names.  Nothing there I heard.

Someone on youtube posted the whole thing.

Haha.  I found that same music in another clip.  I'm not posting it though.  Haha.  It's from season two.  That opens up more composers...

I'm leaning toward this guy...

Michelini

Dang.  I thought I had it.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0551419/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm#cast
It's in this "ski lift" episode too for a second.  That's from 2005, same music supervisor.
Different title on youtube....

I don't think it's Morricone....  Still leaning toward this guy...

Luciano Michelini
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0584994/


And it's in here somewhere...
https://www.killertracks.com

Similar style to Michelini.  Similar formatting -- I think it's synthesized music on this Killer website.  I just can't find the right track.  I tried searching by waltz, Michelini, tuba... no luck.   I call it... Tuba/trombones, strings/flute/trumpet/piano for melody?  Medium tempo waltz.  Tempo varies.  French or Italian sound.  It might be an inner section too and not the very beginning of a piece.

Nothing under humor or nostalgic either.  Dang.

It's got to be from that generic catalog.  Must have been pulled for some reason.

First appears in season five.  A brief snippet in the Ski Lift episode.

Also in 'The End' episode, a nice long clip there.

Steve Rasch is the music supervisor.



Not finding it on youtube.... This is 29:27 in on "The End" on the DVD.
Haha... Nicely f-ed up by my slow computer.  Sorry.  It must not be able to play a DVD and do the massive processing necessary for recording.  It does nicely mess it up a bit in case anyone wanted to steal this clip.  Haha.

Still working on the clip....

And I lost my post.

Slow computer here. Botched up the recording which is good in case anyone wanted a pristine copy.  Not happening.

It's here.  Since there aren't attachment in this board.

In case anyone is confused, that's the pulse monitor sound of someone flat lining and a concerned woman.
