It’s Chopin’s “Funeral March”

In the early ‘80s, Soviet leaders were dropping like flies. I recall Chopin accompanied all those Red Square ceremonies.

Memory's pretty good!

Brezhnev '82
Andropov '84
Chernenko '85

Early days of 24 hour news channels helped drill these into my memory.

ThankQ! I was raised in a house with no music. I am woefully ignorant about classical music. Saturday cartoons had a lot of classical music that I now recognize but can’t name.
