Funeral music

[chicoscalco]

So, fellow musicians, what piece would be your pick for your final moment here on earth? 
 It's fun to see peoples answers on a question entirely subjective as is this one.
I'll start. My pick would be the first movement of Schuberts D960.

Not willing to hang around for the rest?

I want to go out to a JS Bach Requiem. I'm quite prepared to wait until he comes back and writes one.

For my final moment on Earth? Depending on the quality of that moment either John Cage: As slow as Possible or Chopin: Prelude 28-14

Cage may not require much quality of the moment, but will certainly require a great deal of quantity of it.

I would be a little worried about choosing that piece if my final moment was spent in meat grinder...

If we're talking about about Schubert, how about the second movement from his D959 sonata? There's the second movement from his Wanderer Fantasie that's also a blast to play, if only I could play the rest of the fantasie ;_________; There's also these really sweet landlers in d major (two of them), and one in b minor. If you play them in a set, they really really fit well together. It's too bad I can't remember the D numbers, this guy wrote a shitload of music.

Liadov Prelude Op. 40 No. 3 or Op. 39 No. 2
Chopin Op. 15 No. 3, the f major section is even marked as "religioso" or something  like that in my edition at least. Largo from his 3rd Sonata is also nice.
Also, Liszt's funerrailes, and I'll try to find an awesome arrangement of Brahm's allegretto from his 3rd symphony.

Oh god, so much musiccccccccccccccccc

But if I really had to pick, I'd take Brahm's 4th symphony

or Mendelssohn's F minor String Quartet

Or Verdi's Requiem


AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i can't choose

At first I didn't notice that you specified the movement in your schubert piece. What a comic situation would be, a funeral with the wanderer fantasie lol
