funeral march - 2026 ACF Regionals

Packet F: Bonus 13

The score of a symphonic movement in this genre redundantly marks a shift to the parallel C major with the word maggiore (“mah-JOH-ray”). For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this genre that Beethoven used for the third movement of his twelfth piano sonata and the second movement of his Eroica Symphony.

ANSWER: funeral march [or marche funèbre; or marcia funebre; prompt on march, marche, or marcia]

[10e] Beethoven’s twelfth sonata was the model for this Romantic composer’s Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, which is often nicknamed for its third movement funeral march. This expat died at the age of 39 in Paris.

ANSWER: Frédéric Chopin [or Frédéric François Chopin; or Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin]

[10h] Beethoven’s funeral marches are predated by the Marche Lugubre of François-Joseph Gossec, who is best known for a D major piece in this common-time dance form. This galanterie was often extended with a musette.

ANSWER: gavotte
