A lot of Rachmaninov's music are heavy-hitting in emotions: his Piano concerto no. 2 Adagio Sostenuto & Nunc Dimittis from his All-night-vigil always move me to tears. His C-sharp minor prelude is also a good one for venting out to. Dvorak Symphony No 9: the Largo is a personal favorite of mine: seek out slower performances of it to have the emotion of the piece come to the fore. An underrated gem I can recommend is Hans Bronsart von Schellendorf's Piano concerto in F-sharp minor: the Adagio ma non troppo: something about it just touches the soul in a heartfelt way that will leave you feeling comforted after listening to it. Karl Jenkins Benedictus is just... I won't spoil it but, please give it a listen, but have a box of tissues nearby. If you need a piece of music to let all our emotions out to, make it this one. Have a lovely day everyone.

I don’t understand, when ever Rachmaninoff is mentioned it’s always those two pieces? The C sharp was despised by the composer himself, and the 2 concerto is still great. But he has so many other works that I would say are even better! His etudes, preludes, operas, symphonies, and other concerti are constantly forgotten. How can people say he is there favorite when they haven’t even listened to anything else he composed?

The best music never dies...

[@tymajenga276]

It makes me a little happier knowing others like the sadness of the piano as much as me

[@quentinmontabonnel442]

Many people say Liebestraum isn't sad at all but I think this music is the pure representation of love-passion ideals with their feelings that we will never be able to achieve. So it's this frustration that is really sad. Furthermore in my case, this is also actually sad because of my personal story that accompanies this music. I started learning this masterpiece on the piano 2 years ago and I actually struggled during those 2 years. Now, I can play it and several times, I played it to my family and friends and each time I listen to it, I just cry. So because of nostalgia and all the effort that I put into learning it, it's actually sad, like a dream come true.

[@kairon5249]

liebestraum is bittersweet

[@jarekwrzosek2048]

Your personal, subjective impression of the piece has no merit whether a piece is sad or happy. It's rather the tonaton and intent of the composer that matter in this regard.

[@quentinmontabonnel442]

@@jarekwrzosek2048 Yeah, I understand your view and I agree with the fact that the message of the composer and its feelings are the most important among all the others. But, art is also something which feels us and so that thanks to it, we can have a proximity and a sensibility for the artist's message. Even if the composer's message is the most important, the comprehension of the art by all has not less of value than of the artist one. Furthermore, Liebestraum stays melancholic and sad because this music is based on German love poems which have a frustration message. According to them, we have to love as long and as intensively as we can before the end of that we love. So this is not a cheerful message at the end, especially when we know that all notes have the loyal feelings of the poem-word ones (you can compare and you will notice that the notes are eventually the exact translation of the poems' words).

Well, Satie called his Gymnopédie No.1 “Lent et Douloureux”, which is the french for “Slow and Painful”, which sounds pretty sad to me. Also, in the video, its played too fast and too strong. Should be played in Pianissimo, while in the video its played in mezzo forte

I agree. Also Satie's Gymnopodie No.1, in my mind I see someone kicking up piles of autumn leaves in a park. Schubert's Impromptu in G flat Op. 90 No. 3 should have been on this list as should Barber's Adagio for Strings probably the most depressing piece of music ever written.

As a kid, i used to think classical music was boring. Until I listened to moonlight sonata in the video game “Shadowman”. I like almost all piano pieces that relates to moon. Elementary music class, I learned a little more about Beethoven. I also found out “El Chavo Del Ocho”, a mexican show, intro is modified Turkish March.

[@josantonioalcantara]

Just for the record, The first movement of Sonata 14 by Beethoven doesn’t make any reference to the moon. Beethoven didn’t name the sonata as moonlight and doesn’t make any sense if you had listened to the whole sonata. In fact, the character of that movement resembles more a funeral march rather than evoking the light of the moon.

[@nikolasidis3557]

Estoy de acuerdo, pero la marcha fúnebre es de las más triste de Chopin, y yo he profundizado mucho en él, a igual que en Bach, con respecto a ese último, de sus más de 1180 obras conocidas, el concierto en Re menor es cierto que es conocida pero también es triste, o el Lacrimosa, luego está el Liebestraum o el Ständchen, que no son tristes, pero piensa también que Piano Music Bros (antes conocido como mariorerhrer) le da a su audiencia lo que quiere, aunque le podríamos dar obras para que no sean siempre las conocidas… Y no siempre fue así, él me enseñó muchas obras en sus vídeos de las evolución de X compositor. Un saludo.

[@TrayyTurner]

¿El funeral de marzo no es realmente sádico, más ternario? También las obras posteriores de Liszt son más tristes, como pazoillios, peregrinaciones y otra tonalidad, nueva música de Liszt. y concierto en sol. Rachmaninoff se lleva la victoria en el Concierto más surrealista, colorido y más triste, aunque el Concierto de Mortzowski es simplemente piadoso. Y Mozart tenía una música mucho más triste, sus últimas sonatas están escritas en un estilo clásico en lugar de la típica forma no estrófica de la música clásica. Estoy envejeciendo, di más sobre la música. Escucha Chopins Rondo Op.17 eso es triste o Chopins Op.17 Una Mazurka menor. O las Peregrinaciones de Liszt, o las sonatas sin terminar de Schubert, o el Preludio de Rachmaninoff op.23 No.4, o los Conciertos de Beethoven. Contienen información que no puede ser superada por ninguna otra cosa.

[@TrayyTurner]

Funeral March isn’t really sadistic it more Ternary? Also Liszts later works are sadder, like it pazoillios, pilgrimages and other tonality new music by Liszt. and concerto in G? Rachmaninoff take the win on the Most Surreal, colorful and Saddest Concerto, though Mortzowskis Concerto is just godly. And Mozart had much sadder music, his latter sonatas are written in a Classical style rather than the typical non strophic form of classical music. Im aging say there more to music. Listen to Chopins Rondo Op.17 thats sad or Chopins Op.17 A minor Mazurka. Or Liszts Pilgrimages, or Schuberts Un finished sonatas, or Rachmaninoff Prelude op.23 No.4, or Beethoven Concertos. They contain information that cant be beaten by anything else.

Emotions should be explored not avoided, just like colors in a painting. We avoid some emotios because of fear... Just like a painter that is learning a new technique. Maybe we will fail a couple of times, but in the end, every person can become an artist. Sadness is just another way of expressing the love of losing something impermanent. And indeed, Pavane for a Dead Princess is the saddest... It puts me in a state of profound melancholy, a quiet sorrow, just like someone that as cried so much, that there are no tears left to cry.

You are right. Some times we express our feelings in different ways when we feel sad or any other feelings. But people understand how us more by telling or showing them how we feel.

I dont care if Lacrimosa sounds depressing, I remember it as NOOT NOOT

[@JTKeyboardist2024]

In Mozart's Requiem, VI. Lacrimosa, the piano arrangement actually made a mistake, it was actually G#, A. The correct version is A, Bb.

Yea

Pingu:NOOT NOOT Mozart:No....THIS CAN'T BE

[@fsantosneto]

There is no sad or happy music. There are sad moments and happy moments.

[@Robotron-wd9em]

i wouldn't count the first pice (concerto in d minore Alessandro Marcello/Bach) because it is not a pice that bach composed himself it is just a musical arrangement for harpsichord of a pice composed by Alessandro Marcello that was originally for oboe and orchestra

[@Aleksandr_Skrjabin]

The pictures having a nice update i see, and most of the pieces i disagree with, i could complain alot but the real sad ones have its story behind it too, Chopin Funeral march ofcourse but his Prelude in E is way more recognizing about his death then his actual Death March, but uhh... Why is Liszt up there?

[@sabergon3081]

A bit surprised that Gnossienne III isn't in here, but instead Gymnopédie No. 1, which is made by the same artist.

[@jannis11]

noIce

[@melissaleos9418]

Dang that’s sad

[@YourLocalVolvoB8LandBYDGreen]

Damn well this is masterpiece

[@N.K.S.R-PIANIST]

The most sad music of Bach is Chaconne in D minor.

[@ScoopDogg]

PERFECT too many people play this with the Tempo too slow, this is about right in temp as it can be played, probably due to it been played by a computer LOL

[@zhcpiano_score6896]

Why lacrimosa is so weird everytime?

[@Crimsxn_K1ra]

imo, chopin's ballade no.1's a-major part is the most saddest

[@TepsiMorphic]

How is Verdi requiem (at least the lacrimosa) didn't make it? To be fair it's not that famous but it's definitely one of the saddest i have heard.

[@luisamariajerezdelacruz1353]

Missing the prelude in la minor😅

[@Herman6507]

Mozart No.21 "Elvira Madigan" should definitely be amongst this list.

[@edvardpreklushaj5638]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@buibich1573]

I very love Moonlight sonata

[@mikevlobos5923]

Me too

[@ZKLofiTone]

how is Liebestraum sad?!

[@Aleksandr_Skrjabin]

Some how the Liszt fans forced him to push Liszt in it too... I think.

[@laurelmentor404]

@@Aleksandr_Skrjabinagreed. there are definitely some darker Liszt pieces but they are from his later years. I’m trying to think of an actually sad Liszt piece though, other than Schubert transcriptions which shouldn’t really count 😅. Also there is his choral music which has some sad lyrics but I don’t know whether that counts either.

[@Aleksandr_Skrjabin]

@@laurelmentor404 Yes, i understand the Shubert comment too, its not sad but the reason i specifically point out Liszt because a sad piece requires alot of emotion, and Shubert definitely had that alot, just not a sad one in his Serenade, but Liszt on the other hand especially young him we all know he wasnt known for his emotional expression.

[@laurelmentor404]

@@Aleksandr_Skrjabin It has taken me a while to observe Liszt’s music beyond it’s superficial appearance of seeming only flashy and virtuosic. I think that emotions are more subtle and not the first thing that stands out when listening to Liszt. In contrast, emotional expression is in the foreground of many Chopin pieces and you don’t have to go searching for those emotions; they just arise naturally when you listen to the piece. In Liszt pieces, which are often programmatic, the emotion is usually imbedded in the story that his music illustrates. It’s really hard to explain, it’s just something I’ve noticed with time. To me, Liszt is generally good at capturing complex experiences and putting them into music. However, these types experiences are almost like states of consciousness or memories even, rather than raw emotions.
