To commemorate this sad event he revised a Marche funèbre that he had written some years earlier (‘for a careful exposition of these two variant editions’, notes Starr, ‘see Doyle, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, D-90, D-90a, D-90b, D-90c’). The source of its inspiration is obvious, its key the predictable B flat minor, yet its powerful central (G minor) section and some surprising harmonic progressions make it an effective example of its type.
In December 1853, Gottschalk retreated to his birthplace and thence to Cuba where, for the next three years, he struggled to rebuild his life.

Pour commémorer ce triste événement, il révisa une Marche funèbre composée quelques années auparavant («pour un exposé détaillé de ces deux éditions différentes, note S. Frederick Starr, voir : Doyle, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, D-90, D-90a, D-90b, D-90c»). La source de son inspiration est évidente, sa tonalité, de manière prévisible, si bémol mineur, mais sa puissante section centrale (en sol mineur) et quelques progressions harmoniques surprenantes en font un représentant réussi de ce genre.
En décembre 1853, Gottschalk se réfugia dans sa ville d’origine avant de partir pour Cuba où il passa trois ans à lutter pour reconstruire sa vie.
