A Small-Hand Edition of Frédéric Chopin's Funeral March from Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35.
This is not a simplified or beginner arrangement. The goal is to preserve the original musical character, texture, and difficulty while redesigning selected physical hand-size barriers.
The march's character, its dramatic f and ff passages, and the quiet pp trio are kept. The musical character and texture are preserved while selected hand-size barriers — the stretches beyond a comfortable octave — are redesigned.
• Max required simultaneous reach: one octave
• The 12 chords wider than an octave are played as rolls (4 marked in the score, 8 added by the editor)
• Full piece: 84 bars as printed, 108 bars when every repeat is played
Includes:
• Printable PDF score – 4 pages, A4
• MusicXML
Designed for pianists who can handle the musical and technical demands of the original work, but are limited by selected stretches beyond a comfortable octave.
