The Piano Sonata No. 2 in B♭ minor, Op. 35, is a piano sonata in four movements by Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. Chopin completed the work while living in George Sand's manor in Nohant a year before it was published in 1840. The third movement of the Piano Sonata No. 2 is Chopin's famous funeral march which was composed at least two years before the remainder of the work. The Piano Sonata No. 2 carries allusions and reminiscences of music by J. S. Bach and by Ludwig van Beethoven; Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 12 also has a funeral march as its third movement. The work was not furnished with a dedication.
