Frédéric Chopin wrote his Funeral March in C minor in 1827, though the work was published in 1855, six years after his death. It is usually referred to as Op. posth. 72 no. 2, or by its Brown catalogue number: B. 20. Chopin asked for all his unpublished manuscripts to be burned after his death. Most of them, however, were edited throughout the years.
