What classical music does Ray Manzerek use in these DOORS songs?

I know the break from "the Crystal Ships" is from a Chopin composition, but I never remembered which one it was.
The other one is the break from "Hyacinth House" which I think I've heard Liberace or someone play.

I believe they're both from Chopin's "Polonaise in A-flat Major" (Op. 53).

thanks, that's it! I was looking all over for it in Liberace videos.
