Chopin’s Funeral March from his Piano Sonata No.2 in B-Flat minor, was transposed into D minor and transcribed for full orchestra by Sir Edward Elgar, in 1933. Its first performance was at his own memorial concert the next year. It was also transcribed for large orchestra by the conductor Leopold Stokowski; this version was recorded for the first time by Matthias Bamert.
