Product Description

This is not the famous Funeral March from the Piano Sonata No. 2 (1839). That one was composed in 1837 by Chopin and inserted two years by him into the sonata as the third movement. This effort is a bit shorter but is still a substantial work. Written when the composer was 17 and a student at the Warsaw Conservatory, it already displays many stylistic fingerprints of the master to come: accompaniment in chords played in step with the main theme, a melody that can suddenly turn from the morose to the sweet; and a sonic fabric whose color and expressive range clearly break with Classical tradition.

Scored here for Brass Quintet, this piece is somber yet quite beautiful considering the young age of the composer.

This work was published posthumously (in 1855 in Berlin), probably an indication the composer was not satisfied with it. While this Funeral March's material may not be sufficiently varied to justify its approximately five-minute length, its writing is generally inventive for its time, and its thematic wares are of sufficient interest to warrant greater attention than the work has generally received.
