Summary of This Score

This publication offers the Funeral March [Marche funèbre] from Piano Sonata op. 35, one of the most recognizable passages in the romantic piano repertoire. Taken from Piano Sonata Op. 35, this march is distinguished by its solemn character, measured tempo, and choral writing, inviting the pianist to work on sound density, voice balance, and mastery of dynamic layers.

Beyond its immediate impact, this piece serves as an excellent tool to refine the art of legato, chord holding, arm weight management, and phrase shaping. The contrasts in atmosphere, the gravity of the main theme, and the expressive depth demand attentive reading, both rhythmically and in terms of touch quality.

Thanks to the musicological editing work of Ewald Zimmermann, this score is aimed at pianists seeking a serious version for study, teaching, or preparation of a performance. It will naturally find its place in a Chopin sheet music library, as well as in any curriculum aiming to approach a cornerstone work of solo piano repertoire.
