Published by Rob Bushnell (A0.1133509).The third movement of the Piano Sonata No. 12 in A-flat Major, Op.26, Beethoven’s “Funeral March No. 2” is played at state funerals in the UK, including the funerals of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The subtitle of this movement (“Marcia Funebre, sulla morte d'un Eroe”) translates to “Funeral March, relating to the death of a hero”, and was orchestrated by Beethoven for the incidental music to Johann Duncker's play “Leonore Prohaska” (WoO 96). This was one of the pieces played during the procession at Beethoven’s funeral in 1827.
The key of this arrangement has been changed from the original to suit the ensemble better. A recording by a military band can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYafNKfRKRY.
