(This piece has been reposted, with a slideshow, in a much higher quality version (and on a full concert grand) to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEX1dYyvmig).

Sony Music Corp has wrongly claimed that this later recording is theirs; visit my Facebook Group "Stop Sony Music Entertainment From Claiming My Recording!" at:

To join. :-)

A "live performance" version has been more recently recorded and posted (as a result of the above mentioned 'issue' with Sony) to:

The famous funeral march; the third movement of Chopin's second piano sonata. I'm not terribly depressed today, but there was a thunderstorm so I figured I'd try recording in the hopes of getting some thunder. I did, just not where I wanted it!

  • Wonderful music. This has permeated our modern Culture in ways most of us take for granted, especially if you've ever hummed this out loud doing chores. ^^; Must say, I was most suprised and impressed when Deadmau5 used it in his Hard Intro version of Ghosts N' Stuff.

  • @Daftbutstillalive

    Yes, I remember being surprised when first learning the piece: "Oh, so THAT's where that tune comes from!"

  • Ideal for

    Weddings

    Gradulations

    House parties

  • @345kll

    Snerk! :-D

    Someone did a version of 'Happy Birthday' to the tune of the "Volga Boatman"; something like:

    Happy birthday, happy birthday,

    People grow old and die,

    Happy birthday, happy birthday,

    Every day people grow old and die,

    Happy birthday.

    Someday I intend to post my version of that.

  • FINALLY!!! a video of someone who can actually play the song as it was intended!! Thank you DEARLY. I was about to abandon hope! stunning... you clearly respect Chopin's brilliance AND the artistry of the pianist. LOVELY. SIMPLY LOVELY.

  • @Softmachine505

    Oh, well... what can I do but blush? Chopin's been my favourite composer for as long as I can remember!

  • to tell you the truth, i really love this piece. but it is "funeral march", so i can't play this at anywhere....sad. i love the middle part. see the sunshine for a while. and go right back to the sorrow part again......

    your performance is brilliant!

  • While I'm a big fan of this, my funeral dirge will be written and performed by Taranchula.
