6. Chopin - Piano Sonata No. 2 in Bb minor, March Funébre
The devastatingly mournful third movement of Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 has graced the funerals of a number of famous musicians. It was performed at Elgar's memorial concert after he transcribed the music for full orchestra, and played at the graveside during Chopin's own burial.
