What is Frédéric Chopin's piano sonata No. 2 in B♭minor also known as?

Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B♭minor, Op. 35, popularly known as the 'Funeral March', was completed in 1839 at Nohant, near Châteauroux in France. However, the third movement, whence comes the sonata's common nickname, had been composed as early as 1837.

The sonata comprises four movements:

1.Grave – Doppio movimento (B♭ minor and in modified sonata form with the first subject absent in the recapitulation, ending in B♭ major)

2.Scherzo (E♭ minor and in ternary form, middle section and ending in G♭ major)

3.Marche funèbre: Lento (B♭ minor - Trio in D♭ major))

4.Finale: Presto (B♭ minor)

The emotive "funeral march" has become well known in popular culture. It was used at the state funerals of John F. Kennedy, Sir Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher and those of Soviet leaders, including Leonid Brezhnev.
