For most people, this piece is known as:
(a) the Sabre Dance itself, or
(b) the former goal horn of the Buffalo Sabres.
But I'm the type of person who tends to see unique things in classical music, so depending on which Playlist I'm using it's:
(c) former president Taft aggressively fighting anything that even remotely resembled a business trust, or
(d) an incident in which a car plowed into a group of people on horseback, hitting three of them and causing the other horses to throw off their riders.
Item (d) is a real incident that happened somewhere in Florida. People were injured, but no one died.
