"Kleiner Trauermarsch" ("Little Funeral March") in C minor, K. 453a, is a keyboard work composed in 1784 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, written in the notebook of his student Barbara Ployer.
The piece is subtitled Marche funebre del Sigr Maestro Contrappunto (Funeral March for Mr. Master Counterpoint); Mozart's grotesque exaggeration of conventional features of funeral marches mark it as a humorous parody.[1] It consists of two sections of eight bars each, both repeated, and has no counterpoint. A performance takes about 2 minutes.[2]
It was first published in 1930. The autograph has been lost in 1945.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
