Chopin 'Funeral March' ('Marche Funebre') - Sir Henry Wood orchestration

The “Funeral March“ ('Marche Funebre') from Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 has been orchestrated by several musicians, including Elgar and Stokowski. Sir Henry Wood introduced his own version during the 1895 Proms. It was last heard at the Proms in 1943 under Basil Cameron's direction. (Taken from a 'Lyrita' CD on which Nicholas Braithwaite conducts the London Philharmonic. NOTE the wide dynamic range with very soft music at the start). The score has been published by Breitkopf & Haertel.
