[@Purpledawg-d9s]

Yes they did. It seemed to me that they played it forever…I really don’t directly remember anything except Chopin and the muffled drums. But they seemed to go on and on. We only had two channels on our TV so whichever channel you went to there was the drums

[@davidb4192]

Yes, but it still sounds mournful, and being played by a live marching band makes it very visceral I think.

i’m thinking that they’ve had to have practiced this piece for years, just in case. it was definitely intentional

[@jaychester5645]

[@esthergalliot1684]

Exactly very too fast. La rapidité fait perdre le ton de la cérémonie. D’autant plus que leur pas n’est pas adapté au rythme. Dommage.

[@jaimebondoc5619]

It's fast because the band has to march hence the music's tempo should be fast as well.

[@jameslayne2985]

I prefer this even to Beethoven's. It puts into music the pangs of grief in a way unrivaled. I was in London and Windsor to hear both for Her Majesty's funeral.

When I was in the orchestra, we played this march much slower, always motionless. Maybe at such a slow pace it would be difficult to march to the beat.

Even I feel if the tempo is halved but the march doesn't change, it would be epic.

The old Mr. Chopin's funeral tune has brighter side too. One of our singing poets wrote a rather witty text to the tune and performed it himself to his own accompaniment on an accoustic guitar. The title of his song, that gained some popularity, is THE LAST SERVICE, and it tells a story of a dead guy lying within dry and well isolated coffin. The coffin is being carried by male family members, and followed by mourning wife. As the weather is a bit bad, and the way to go - long, the latter 'shall surely get cold'. Death is another side of life, so why not face it humorously?... The poet, by the way, has been dead since. He had a deadly inclination to write dead-related texts, to mention only his pean for a mortuary (that room where corpses await dissecting, or autopsy). According to him, most pleasant time there is before dawn, with all the corpses looking at least not bad. Some corpses even SMILE (except for those beheaded, or having no heads at all). This other story ends with a rather unpleasant message to the reader or listener: you will soon experience the mortuary yourself! 😊☠️👻♍

[@WojciechWachniewski-st1zm]

Trochę po polsku. Oto Maciej Zembaty, jeden z naszych nieżyjących już śpiewających poetów, miał fioła na punkcie śmierci, przynajmniej tyle wynika z jego wierszowanych opowieści o tej drugiej stronie życia. Takoż posłużył się melodią marsza imci Szopena, by zilustrować nam uczucia zmarłego człowieka, niesionego w dębowej trumnie przez ubogich krewnych na cmentarz. Za trumną idzie żona, która pewnie się przeziębi, bo pogoda kiepska i droga daleka. To jeszcze nic - zdaniem imci Zembatego najprzyjemniej, najweselej i najzabawniej jest w PROSEKTORIUM i NAD RANEM, kiedy 'spadnie coś ze stołka', albo ktoś. Wizyta w prosektorium czeka KAŻDĄ i KAŻDEGO z nas - no, chyba, że delikwent(ka) zginie w katastrofie lotniczej nad Pacyfikiem... 👻☠️♍😊

I wonder if this march was played at Chopin's funeral?

[@Seleuce]

In fact, it was, in an orchestrated version. Not wished for by the dying Chopin, though. He never intended this piece to be a funeral march, it's a movement of his 2nd Sonata. He wished for Mozart's Requiem and got it. He was quoted from his deathbed: "Play Mozart and I will hear you!" They had trouble making it possible, the priests didn't approve (female voices were not permitted to sing in Cath. Churches in those days in France), but they managed in the end. Some of Chopins own music was played because some of his friends couldn't resist.

[@khurmiful]

March should’ve been slower, but I suppose we live in times where everything has to be at a faster tempo.

[@firebird4269]

@@Niklas.the.13th. 1. No, it has nothing to do with the Empire. The actions carried out by the government of a constitutional monarchy rarely reflect the thoughts and opinions of the monarch, and even when they do, the monarch would never express their opinion. It's bizarre to assume that a funeral regarding the monarch of these nations has anything to do with the Empire. The Commonwealth Realms (members of the Commonwealth that retain the monarchy) do so purely by choice and not by any form of authoritarian connection to the United Kingdom. The territories of the United Kingdom retain status as British subjects also by choice---see the referendum results in the Falklands, for instance. There is no British Empire in the modern day---there is only a conglomeration of nations with shared histories that DECIDE to retain a connection even today. There is no valid reason for that to be torn down, given that the entire reason for it's existence is the people's will. 2. Yes, you're going to comment it on every video you see of British culture and then have no fair discourse because you don't want anyone to change your mind---you're far too close-minded for that. 3. The form of government may have been the cause of this event, but you're assuming that a) the form of government cannot affect popular culture and b) the constitutional monarchy does NOT affect the people's culture. That's just bizarre. Estimates range wildly, so I'm not going to quote tourist money from the Monarchy or anything, but even without that statistical evidence, it's pretty obvious that the Monarchy has had a profound effect on British culture---ask an American what the first thing they think of when they think of Britain and a large amount will say something regarding the monarchy. I believe it's what brought the whole culture of manners and tea and whatnot (though a large simplification of what British culture entails, at least it's not negative) to the world stage. It avoids a wholly negative view of Britain on the world stage. Anyhow, royal figures have had a great impact on the people's culture with their actions, words, and whatnot. 4. Yes. It is entirely reasonable to be mad when someone with a presumably subpar education regarding history, government, and politics makes a bold and unreasonable claim, is questioned on it, then refuses to elaborate anything beyond a few sentences that only further confusion. That's ridiculous.
