At the funeral

I forgot to mention that at the funeral they played Chopin’s Funeral March (Piano Sonata No 2). It was the first time I had heard it played at an actual funeral. It is a piece of music that has suffered from constant repetition on television comedy shows (television corrupts everything in the end) where it has become a sort of musical metaphor for doom and disaster.

Hearing it played in context, at a funeral, was very moving.
