The penultimate movement of Shostakovich's final string quartet is this type of piece. The eighth variation in Benjamin Britten's Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge is a piece of this type, and Beethoven's twelfth piano sonata features an A-flat minor movement of this type. Toward the end of Richard Strauss's Metamorphosen, the basses and cellos quote from an existing movement of this type. Another movement of this type opens with a C-sharp minor trumpet call. The best-known example for solo piano features an interlude in D-flat major, and its B-flat minor outer sections feature steady pesante octaves in the left hand. These pieces include the first movement of Mahler's fifth symphony as well as the slow movements of Chopin's second piano sonata and Beethoven's Eroica symphony. FTP, name these pieces often played as processional music when honoring the dead.
