Who wrote the famous funeral march?

Question

Youn know the one, the sterotypical one

Answer 1

The one that everyone thinks of as "the" funeral march was composed by Frederic Chopin, as mentioned a few times above. It was eventually incorporated into his Piano Sonata No.2 in B Flat Minor, Opus 35.

Various other pieces in minor keys from requiems and other symphonies have been used for the same purpose over the years.

Answer 2

Answer 3
