Bahamut Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Beethoven - Adagio Sustenuto That's not a piece. But I guess you mean Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, Movement 1: Adagio sostenuto. Popularly known as the "Moonlight" Sonata.

Rotwang Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've no idea why, but I find Bluetech - A Garland of Stars intensely depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 That's not a piece. But I guess you mean Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, Movement 1: Adagio sostenuto. Popularly known as the "Moonlight" Sonata. Yeah. I find much of 14 quite melancholy but that particular adagio a little more so. His deafness caused him so much anger & sadness, I feel it every time I hear that piece. also; Shostakovich - possibly the saddest composer I can think of, a lot of his stuff is sad, esp, the slow movement from Symphony No. 5 or his String Quartet No. 8 in C minor. The 5th movement from Beethovens C minor quartet. Tchaikovsky's 6th the last movement I think. & as others said definitely Gorecki's 3rd. I probably should have said Moonlight Sonata, but I for some reason I find the nicknames annoying. I think they should be referred to by their proper names. I know I'm wierd. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Oh! How could I forget one of my favorite pieces ever. Albinoni's Adagio in G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotwang Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Shostakovich - possibly the saddest composer I can think of, a lot of his stuff is sad Indeed, but it's easy to overlook the fact that he did some awesome happy stuff too. In case you're not aware of it, check out his Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra (or his Jazz Suite no. 2 as it is often incorrectly called). For example: link link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example: link link No, I haven't heard that one, at least I don't recall hearing it. I like! It's good. Thanks *This makes me want to start a thread on what genre's people listen to most & what if anything they do while listening. I usually listen to classical while I cook, & psy while driving.

cubicidal Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Here's that Rabbit in the Moon track I spoke of... I'll be sincerely impressed if there's anything sadder than this in the trance genre. Edit: Shit, that version is fucked up... it's like they warped the audio to make it faster than it should be... damn, wtf.

avogadro Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Vangelis - Desolation Path It just gets to me every time. Vangelis made this for Blade Runner but it wasn't used in the film. For sure it's one of his greatest tracks, but he didn't release it until 26 years later. Excellent track ! Incredible track ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ion1zed Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Woah. The Vangelis track is awesome! And it would have suited the movie very, very well. I like the Avalon Soundtrack by Kawai, too, but I think "Nine Sisters" off the same album is "sadder". Anyways...more sad music: Yamaoka Akira - Room Of Angel (Silent Hill 4 OST)...can't believe the amount of awesome in this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSPHItRDKEc Deine Lakaien - Love Me To The End. Sad music from an other time in my life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLq1HBtZLQU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 the opening music of the first 3 minutes of this video part of a Schubert piano sonata played by Richter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I think this is something very subtle. For instance, in US, Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" was played during funerals, while in some countries it was the most played song during weddings!! Anyway, being 40 years old, I had the privilege of being a teenager during the melodic 1980s. This way I feel very nostalgic and sometimes sad when I hear some romantic 80s songs. The song may not be particularly sad, but it makes me feel so. But there's a particular singer whose songs are magic and they're sad also: Sandra. She had a lot of #1 hits, here's one of them (Maria Magdalena) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JngdfOY82I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
