Comparing Eras Part 2


Piece: Marcha Funebre
Composer: Frederic Chopin
Era: Romantic

The piece is a solo chordophone done on the piano. It is mostly homophonic with the top part playing melody and the bottom playing accompaniment. The piece  has dynamic contrast throughout ranging from piano to forte, it is also mostly conjunct building up or down but does contain a few disjunct moments in which it jumps or drops. It also has a distinct meter of 4/4 common time at a relatively slow tempo close to andante but slightly faster.
