Though this song sounds quite sad to me, probably the saddest I've heard, it doesn't make me very sad. Maybe a little, you can really feel the emotion coming through. But somehow I find myself to be motivated/inspired when I hear it, as it's such a beautiful song. My god, it's music like this that simply amazes me.
Chopin was constantly aware of his mortality due to his illness, I think, and the likelihood that he would die early, yet I feel that he was so deeply aware of the beauty in the world that all he could do was pour his love for this beauty into music, with the sadness of knowing he must soon leave the world he loved so much.
music is for everyone not just the music companies, to own all music and subject it to laws that wont even allow us to listion to it unless we by a CD or music file is crappy and defeats the pouprouse that music origanly was intended for
@notlengthy Different people perceive music differently. Personally for me, the middle section does not sound "happy". It sounds like a feeling of reaching a moment of peace with oneself, of self achievement. But even though it contrasts with the previous section it's still nostalgic and moving, so it's not that far away from the feeling of sadness and despair. Regardless, the beauty of classical music is its emotional complexity. It's what I refer to as "a Pleasant Emotional Crisis"
Correction: He wanted Mozart's Requiem to be played at his funeral. Some rumors state he wanted Beethoven's Funeral March to be played at his funeral. Beethoven died in 1827, and Mozart died before Chopin was even born.
Thanks, and it is absurd that Sony can just insinuate something like this. I mean, how far apart are the surnames Sony and CHOPIN, how much in the public domain is CHOPIN, and furthermore, it would be one thing if a publisher of sheet music tried to suggest something, but a RECORDING that wouldn't even match on the most basic computerized analysis? Argh! Good luck. I take it you have the piece memorized? PS, maybe you'll like some of our music. Slight touches of Chopin influence within,
Chopin wrote the funeral march (it's the third movement of his second piano sonata); I'm the musician as well as the photographer/video editor. I'd not say it's a masterpiece, but it's one of my better recordings. :-)
Sony Music has been claiming it as theirs & I am intending to go to the trouble (and expense) of getting a lawyer to send them a letter, as they have not responded to three (or was it four) e-mails from me.
Yes, it is public domain, and my guess is that they are mistaking my recording for a recording of this piece that they DO own. Since no responses were received for any of the four e-mails I sent them, I am intending to get a lawyer to write a letter to them; it will cost a little money, but it will hopefully help ensure a response.
At the moment it looks as though Sony is no longer claiming this video - it no longer shows up under 'Content ID' matches & it looks as though it is no longer being blocked in Germany. Irritatingly, it is not available for monetization either & YouTube reserves the right to refuse monetization at their discretion.
I intend to try to find out for sure if Sony's claim has vanished, and if it has, then I should be taking out my references to this situation. (I want to be sure!)
Good....It seemed as though some places got the ads & others didn't; I never saw any myself, but folks did post some screen shots to the FB page, so I know they were there!
@Kamibambiraptor Beautiful music and scenes, thank you very much. I first heard this music years ago when Channel 4 here in the UK showed a film ( I forget who by) which had this and other music accompanied by multi image videos. I had video recorded it, but unfortunately the recording was faulty so I didn't keep it.
I MIGHT have a 'lead', so to speak.... I heard from someone (on the FB page) that the music of a pianist named Cyprian Katsaris is being offered for download with this video. Presumably this is the pianist whose recording mine is being mistaken for. I plan to contact Mr. Katsaris & see if he will be more responsive, but first I want to ask some local recording biz people for advice.
how could sony claim the rights to this song, if Chopin died in 1810? Thats about two hundred years ago-- copyright laws expire SEVENTY years after the composer is dead. That's right. We should protest music companies removing youtube videos. What ever happened to free speech? Just because we use a song in a video doesn't mean that we are earning any money off it, or claiming we made it. At most, we are advertising for their song! Down with sony!
My guess is that my recording is being mistaken for someone else's recording & that the recording is still copyright. Despite four (so far) requests to Sony to tell me whose recording they think it is (so that I can point out differences), I have received no answer. In the meantime, whoever is making money off the ads is doing so illegally, I believe, but to prove that would require lawyers and oodles of money. :-(
Yes, that is me playing, and I would in fact be eligible to go into 'partnership' with YouTube to earn money off this video (and others) were it not for the fact that Sony is claiming the audio.
I can't seemingly compel Sony to respond to my e-mails, lawyers cost money, and the amount of money I am losing (by not being able to go into partnership with YouTube) is probably fairly small (at least in comparision to the lawyers fees!), so I'm left with this irritating situation!
@topitmunkeydog The funny thing is Sony was was founded a full 136 years after Chopin's death and yet try to claim rights. Ridiculous to say the least.
@topitmunkeydog SONY can claim they own a recent RECORDING they own. The music is VERY public domain, sure, but if a Big Name pianist records it and SONY puts it out, they own the rights to that RECORDING. If Kamibambiraptor records himself, then that recording is HIS, not SONY's. Same with Shakespeare; EXTREMELY Public Domain, but if Clint Eastwood does "Hamlet" with Ludacris, that's HIS version of "Hamlet" and he owns it - just like Kamibambiraptor owns THIS recording! BOO, Sony!
@TheStockwell are you an idiot? INTERPOL clearly states all right belong to the artist and expire seventy years after death, therefor when Sony bought this, they own it and no one can use it without explicit right from the publisher (Sony), and they're being idiotic dysfunctional douchebags and claiming this is they're song, that they might, which is BS
@Cotif11 No, I AM NOT AN IDIOT. I have spent the last six years of my life working on a documentary film that required me to learn - in a very painful and arduous fashion - that international copyright laws are more complicated than most YouTube users know. They vary from country to country. A composition I needed, written in 1896, is not in the public domain because the composer died in 1949. 75 year rights. The work will be PD in 2024. Get it?
@TheStockwell I am not a common YouTube user, as you state. Sony still does not have the rights to acting so asinine and claiming this song is there's
@topitmunkeydog He was born in 1810. He died in 1849. Either way, Sony couldn't have bought this song before 1919 as they didn't exist until 1946. A whopping 27 years after anything by Chopin would've been in Public Domain.
When Giacomo Puccini died in 1924, word reached rome during a performance of his La Boheme opera. The conductor stopped everything to announce the loss of one of the greatest opera composers ever. Then out of nowhere, the pit orchestra played this funeral march in his honour.
At first, this piece entertained me because I had heard the "cliche" melody of the march On TV... But at the end, I was deeply moved and inspired, thank you Chopin...
At least it's not as bad as when the other day I watched part of a video of "How Great Thou Art" and there was some ad about toilet training made fun just below the video. How classy!
I don't like the ads either, and even though they are easy to hide, I still find they somewhat spoil my enjoyment of the video (before I make them go away). Sometimes it's because they are inappropriate to the music, sometimes they are just visually distracting.

Wow I feel like walking around my city wearing a black cloak and carrying a scary looking sword. Greenville cops would be all over that. I'd be like "against the power that has risen in the east there will be no victory for the race of men. Now go and die in what way seems best for you copper."
10 mesi fa questa marcia funebre ha accompagnato il funerale di mio marito.
Ho sempre amato questo pezzo al di là del significato.Pur nel dolore immenso che provavo e che ancora provo, questa musica ha addolcito sempre la mia anima.
That's a good choice. 'Funeral Marches' such as this were more something to be played while the pallbearer's were carrying the casket. These are quite heavy, and not something you want to be bustling around with anyway, so funeral marches tend to be slow.
When I first heard this song, I didn't know it was the funeral song. I thought it was extremely lively and beautiful. Then I heard it was about a funeral and my mind changed in an instant.
I've seen an ad everytime I've viewed this video. If this is truly your recording you should consider a lawsuit to take care of this and for compensation, because they are making money off of your work....
Yes, indeed they're making money off my work, and I've sent now several e-mails to them. No reply.
Worse, since my channel contains a video whose content is claimed by a copyright holder, I'm not eligible for YouTube partnership. (I could take it down, but why should I have to?) So Sony is also depriving me of a potential source of income. Bad. I am looking into what legal options are available... sadly, I don't have lots of money for lawyers! :-(
Argghhh! Besides the whole "this is my recording" issue, this just ain't the sort of piece I think should have ads with it! I'm probably not eligible for "Partnership" with YouTube, but I must say that I find the ads that appear with the videos of folks who ARE in partnership with YouTube to be irritating & trivializing to the music. From what I understand, the pay isn't all that great, so I've got no plans currently to apply. Why would I want ads with ALL my videos??
That's the thing.... In all three of my e-mails to them I say that if they will tell me whose performance they think it is, I am sure I can show them to be mistaken, but I have gotten no response at all so far! It's irritating: they care enough to claim it, care enough to block it in Germany, but don't respond to my e-mails. Meanwhile, I have heard from some people that ads appear with this video (I've not seen any myself). Bad Sony! Again!
Sony is naughty! I think maybe I'll start a Facebook page called "Get your hands off our music!", or something like that, as I'm not the only one this has happened to!
to me i dont hear any mistakes i am on your side with the disput! Awesome playing makes me wanna cry I love it that you for the vid and great sound quality I hope you win!!!
This is the thing...in addition to what you mention about the piano vibrating the microphone, there are a few dropped notes and small errors in the piece, & I asked Sony to tell me WHOSE recording they thought this was & I'd gladly point out the differences. No response to either e-mail so far. In the meantime, someone's (illegally?) freeloading ads on my recording of a public domain piece! So I really ought to get around to sending a third e-mail, and/or posting a video.
There are two large ads by google one on the video and one in the side bar also thank you for the beautiful music youve reminded me why I enjoy Chopin so much and for that thank you.
This thing with the ads is annoying, I have to say.... I intend to re-record this, but I think I am also going to make a video called "Hey! Sony! Get your fingers off my music!" or something like that.
Yes, it's me; when I made this video I didn't realize I could mute the poor sound from my camera & splice the audio & video tracks together. And now Sony thinks's it's theirs! :-( I'm intending to repost this with me visible at the piano, but I'll probably wait till after Christmas.
I'm at my computer listening to this and "playing" this around my keyboard, my arthritic fingers reproducing what little I remember from my piano lessons with nuns with yardsticks (50 years ago). Thanks for the memory!
No yikes necessary. My Catholic school days are some of the best memories of my life. Even the nun from hell who scared me shitless when she gave me piano lessons has a deep place in my heart. She taught me to love the piano. And she was only disappointed in my playing, never in my love for the instrument. I trust I make myself perfectly obscure.

Ah... I wish the funerals I had attended played this song instead of one with vocals. :/ It made it much to easy to remember how sad I was.

Very nice music from Chopin. A bit sad, but perfect!

This song might be tremendously beautiful if played in the morning just as the sun rises.

Wow I feel like walking around my city wearing a black cloak and carrying a scary looking sword. Greenville cops would be all over that. I'd be like "against the power that has risen in the east there will be no victory for the race of men. Now go and die in what way seems best for you copper."

10 mesi fa questa marcia funebre ha accompagnato il funerale di mio marito.
Ho sempre amato questo pezzo al di là del significato.Pur nel dolore immenso che provavo e che ancora provo, questa musica ha addolcito sempre la mia anima.

this is good,but when i die i want "Saints go marching in" to be played on my funeral :p

@iownage4youi
That's a good choice. 'Funeral Marches' such as this were more something to be played while the pallbearer's were carrying the casket. These are quite heavy, and not something you want to be bustling around with anyway, so funeral marches tend to be slow.

When I first heard this song, I didn't know it was the funeral song. I thought it was extremely lively and beautiful. Then I heard it was about a funeral and my mind changed in an instant.

Oh, did I say it was the Funeral March? I really meant to say it's called "Fluffy and Bun-Bun's Big Adventure!" :-D

I've seen an ad everytime I've viewed this video. If this is truly your recording you should consider a lawsuit to take care of this and for compensation, because they are making money off of your work....

@trashedscatter
Yes, indeed they're making money off my work, and I've sent now several e-mails to them. No reply.
Worse, since my channel contains a video whose content is claimed by a copyright holder, I'm not eligible for YouTube partnership. (I could take it down, but why should I have to?) So Sony is also depriving me of a potential source of income. Bad. I am looking into what legal options are available... sadly, I don't have lots of money for lawyers! :-(

@Kamibambiraptor Despite all that, good job on this piece. It's one of my fav recordings of it.

@MarkBrennan
Argghhh! Besides the whole "this is my recording" issue, this just ain't the sort of piece I think should have ads with it! I'm probably not eligible for "Partnership" with YouTube, but I must say that I find the ads that appear with the videos of folks who ARE in partnership with YouTube to be irritating & trivializing to the music. From what I understand, the pay isn't all that great, so I've got no plans currently to apply. Why would I want ads with ALL my videos??

Who is Sony claiming as the pianist?
lewars1912 1 year ago
That's the thing.... In all three of my e-mails to them I say that if they will tell me whose performance they think it is, I am sure I can show them to be mistaken, but I have gotten no response at all so far! It's irritating: they care enough to claim it, care enough to block it in Germany, but don't respond to my e-mails. Meanwhile, I have heard from some people that ads appear with this video (I've not seen any myself). Bad Sony! Again!

Awesome playing. You'd think Sony would realize this is yours, since I can occasionally (I think) hear the piano vibrating the mic.
angelicnargles 2 years ago
Thank you! :-)
This is the thing...in addition to what you mention about the piano vibrating the microphone, there are a few dropped notes and small errors in the piece, & I asked Sony to tell me WHOSE recording they thought this was & I'd gladly point out the differences. No response to either e-mail so far. In the meantime, someone's (illegally?) freeloading ads on my recording of a public domain piece! So I really ought to get around to sending a third e-mail, and/or posting a video.
Kamibambiraptor 2 years ago
hey dude you play the piano very well... thats why i guess sony claimed that the recording was theirs lol! btw there are no ads

I've not seen ads myself; I think whether or not there are ads seems to be affected by what part of the world you're in.

There are two large ads by google one on the video and one in the side bar also thank you for the beautiful music youve reminded me why I enjoy Chopin so much and for that thank you.

This thing with the ads is annoying, I have to say.... I intend to re-record this, but I think I am also going to make a video called "Hey! Sony! Get your fingers off my music!" or something like that.

Yes, it's me; when I made this video I didn't realize I could mute the poor sound from my camera & splice the audio & video tracks together. And now Sony thinks's it's theirs! :-( I'm intending to repost this with me visible at the piano, but I'll probably wait till after Christmas.

I'm at my computer listening to this and "playing" this around my keyboard, my arthritic fingers reproducing what little I remember from my piano lessons with nuns with yardsticks (50 years ago). Thanks for the memory!
AmMedAss1 2 years ago
Nuns with yardsticks? Yikes! Not sure that's the sort of memory I'd want coming back, but you are welcome nonetheless!
Kamibambiraptor 2 years ago
No yikes necessary. My Catholic school days are some of the best memories of my life. Even the nun from hell who scared me shitless when she gave me piano lessons has a deep place in my heart. She taught me to love the piano. And she was only disappointed in my playing, never in my love for the instrument. I trust I make myself perfectly obscure.
