Frdric Chopin composed his Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35 mainly in 1839 at
Nohant near Chateauroux in France, although the third movement, which comprises the funeral
march had been composed as early as 1837.
The first movement features a stormy opening theme and a gently lyrical second theme. The
second movement is a virtuoso scherzo with a more relaxed melodic central section. The third
movement begins and ends with the celebrated funeral march in B flat minor which gives the
sonata its nickname, but has a calm interlude in D flat major. The finale contains a whirlwind of
unison notes with unremitting (not a single rest or chord until the final bars) unvarying tempo or
dynamics (changes of volume); James Huneker, in his introduction to the American version of
Mikuli edition of the Sonatas, quotes Chopin as saying "The left hand unisono with the right
hand are gossiping after the March". Others have remarked that the fourth movement is "wind
howling around the gravestones".
The Sonata confused contemporary critics who found it lacked cohesion. Robert Schumann
suggested that Chopin had in this sonata "simply bound together four of his most unruly
children." (See Schirmer's modern reprint of the Mikuli edition)

The sonata's opening bars allude to Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32, Op. 111, his last. The basic
sequence of scherzo, funeral march with trio, and animated, resolving finale, repeats that of
Beethoven's Piano Sonata no. 12 A-flat major. Though Chopin's first movement is written in
sonata form while Beethoven's first movement is a set of variations on an original theme. Chopin
was known to have admired these two Beethoven sonatas[2].
