message: To follow the MoS, shouldn't this be Piano Sonata No. 2 (Chopin), and have this page redirect to it? —  $PЯINGεrαgђ  04:53, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The Popular Culture section mentions that the games The Sims and Digger both use the theme from the first movement to indicate that someone or something has died.  Surely they mean the third movement?  Not having played those games, I can't confirm, but it's the third movement that has the well-known funeral march.  I can't imagine any of the themes from the first movement being used in this context.  That said, there's probably dozens of classic games that used the funeral march theme when you died.  Not to mention its similar common use in cartoons and TV.  I know Looney Toons used it a couple of times, and I can recall an episode of Monty Python that used it.  (The undertaker sketches).  Not sure if it's worth mentioning all of them... Lurlock (talk) 17:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the section.  They are discouraged in WP:CM and the piece is too ubiquitously associated with funerals to list all that use it. DavidRF (talk) 21:24, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems odd that the "I. Grave – Doppio movimento" section is listed at "5–7 minutes" but the audio included here takes 7min 50sec. Any explanation, or should it perhaps be listed as 5-8 minutes? Meekohi (talk) 02:30, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Right now, there is no mention of the allusion to this sonata in the opening bars, which is well known (e.g. the reference by Petty). This has to be included in the article.  
The 16th prelude by Scriabin, Op. 11, is an obvious hommage to the funeral march. This is also worth mentioning. 
This is a great article, well done! Gidip (talk) 06:32, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: You already cited the article by Petty, so you must have seen the mention of Op. 111 there, as I previously said. For Scriabin, see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Gidip (talk) 08:10, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
