The third movement of Chopin's Sonata in B-flat minor, Op. 35, composed in 1837, two years before the rest of the sonata, and published in 1840. The funeral march tolls in B-flat minor over a swaying bass of chords; a quiet D-flat major trio sings a long melody over a rocking left hand before the march returns. This edition follows the 1840 first German edition by Breitkopf & Härtel.
