Funeral March, for guitar solo

This is a strange and very interesting composition. The attempt to break new barriers on the guitar can be seen in his imitation of church bells. The long passage near the end with only one voice makes one think of the organ. Sor’s Marche Funèbre op. 59 seems to have been a source of inspiration for this piece. Like all Degen’s compositions, the Funeral March is written for the seven-string guitar.
