Track 18 of the CD "himmelhoch jauchzend - zu tode betruebt".
Frederic Chopin: "Funeral March"
The famous "Marche funebre". The full-fingered piano original makes it difficult to transfer it to two melody instruments. The individual parts of this arrangement are full of double stops, which are not easy to execute but give the piece a full, warm character in this instrumentation. With the cantilena of the middle section, both instruments shine in the highest registers.
The sheet music is available here at PRObass Musikverlag under order number C 109.
Violoncello: Paul-Gerhard Wiebecke
Double bass: Andreas Wiebecke-Gottstein
