Marche Funèbre (Funeral March) from Piano Sonata No. 2 in Bb Minor Op.35 - Chopin
Arranged for Wind Quintet by Hugh Levey
This is the movement in its entirety (approximately 9 minutes), which has been carefully and faithfully transcribed/arranged from the original.
If there is any piece of music that modern western society associates with a sombre funeral procession, it is this march from Chopin's second piano sonata in B♭ minor. Everyone knows the opening march with the slow plodding notes in the left hand, but there is so much more to this wonderful piece of music! There is light and shade. There is seriousness, but it is tempered with poignancy and a sublimely beautiful and lyrical trio section in D♭ major. It is a gorgeous composition, which is both world-famous and unknown at the same time. Educate your audiences by performing the whole movement. They will see it in a new light.
It is definitely time to look at this work afresh and that is what the arranger has done in this version for Wind Quintet. The instrumental colours lend themselves both to the sombre opening march (bassoon, horn and clarinet) and the lyrical trio where the flute and oboe take centre stage accompanied by flowing quavers in the clarinet and Chopin's original bass line in the bassoon, and the horn filling out the harmony. Duration; 8.30 to 9 minutes (7 minutes without repeats)
