Chopin - The Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35

The Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35, composed by Frédéric Chopin between 1837 and 1839, is one of his most famous and dramatic works. General Information: Composer: Frédéric Chopin Composed: 1837–1839 Key: B-flat minor Structure: Four movements: Grave – Doppio movimento – A dark, stormy opening with contrasting lyrical passages. Scherzo – A fast and energetic movement with sharp contrasts. Marche funèbre: Lento – The famous "Funeral March", one of Chopin’s most well-known pieces. Finale: Presto – A whirlwind of ghostly arpeggios with no clear melody, often interpreted as an eerie wind over a graveyard. Interesting Facts: The third movement (Funeral March) became widely known on its own and is often played at funerals. Chopin himself was unsure about the finale, as it is unconventional—some say it represents death’s inevitability or the wind blowing over graves. Robert Schumann criticized the sonata, calling it "four of Chopin’s most unruly children under one roof," but today it is considered a masterpiece. The piece is technically and emotionally challenging, requiring both power and delicacy.
