What is this song from the TV show Deutschland 86?

This piano piece was on a record played in a bunker in Episode 3. I recorded all there is of it (not much). It's not listed on any websites that list the more modern songs and the soundtrack itself. Thanks.

The chromatic melody line sounds a bit Chopin-y, but the 13th chord at the end of the extract suggests it dates from 1950 or later. Musipedia hasn't turned up anything useful, I'm afraid - there's not really enough melody to go on.

Best answer: IMDB lists "Champagne Cocktail" by Kosinus in the soundtrack credits. You can stream it from the APM music library on their website here.

Response by poster: Ah, I see the composer's name is Marc Durst, and he writes genre music for tv, movies, and videogames.
