I pretty sure it doesn't have one. :)
-

thanks...
mendelssohn - lied ohne worte 19:1... its so pretty
also check out shubert - rosamunde 142:3 impromptu
check them out!
-
Oh, I just thought of another Liszt- Andante Lagrimoso, from the Poetic and Religious Harmonies.
(sniff sniff :'( :'( :'()

Yeah, I sorta wondered that too! But maybe Amy doesn't want to tell! LOL ;)

Well Tchaikovsy Piano Concerto No.1
O god... his violin concerto... is.. so...good...so good
(That section in Liszt's Concerto No. 2... where theres a HUGE run in the beginning.. and its a Piano - Cello combo section... always gets me!)
Beethoven Patetique Sonata gots the stuff!!
-

oh I know what you're talking about! However, I remember the second piano Concerto more for it's triumphant melodies in the 3rd and 4th movements. Brilliant work!

Saint Saens: The Swan
Schubert: Litanei
-
Hey Amy, I noticed that you avoided saying why you need this list!! hehe ;) So........ who is he?! LOLOLOLOL
-
rachmaninov's elegie (op. 3 #1 im guessing)
and mostly any nocturne by chopin.
-
Chopin's Ballade no.4 sounds mournful at some parts (and angry too).
Vaughn Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (has anyone heard it?) is sad, and maybe a little hopeful, but mostly sad I think. It's written for double string orchestra, and the sound it can produce is absolutely gorgeous.
-
hey guys... wow... thanks for all the posts.... I wish i've heard all these pieces, so now i gotta try to find their recordings and then get back to you !!!
Janice and egghead... i tend to like the sadder stuff..and appreciate them more (to my ears).... i enjoy playing slower, mournful pieces because my playing has to always be emotional or have some personal story behind it (narrating the music as i play) to help me get into it. All the pieces i've played so far at school auditions have been narrated to the hardships and depressing memories of my ex boyfriend..... i even teared up the whole way playing Raindrop at an audition....... the jury panel was quite moved? :)
that's all... nothing special.... but i will try to find these recordings!!!! ahhhh... so many!
amy ;D

chopin's op.48 no.1 nocturne works...up until the faster ending area however..
-
Rachmaninov- Prelude in D major op 23-4
Chopin- Nocturne in C# minor, op. posth.
Nocturne in C minor " "
Beethoven- Ecossaise in G major (Does anyone have the score)
Schubert- Impromptu in G flat
Schumann- Traumerie
I was going to say that Chopin Nocturne (the C# minor one), it is soooo immensely beautiful. I think it is my favourite Chopin nocturne. I always play it when i'm feeling sad hehe...
-
Lol hehe i just noticed Bachmaninov's name! Like it...
-
Hi Amy,
You should try Mc Dowell's "To a wild rose": really easy to play, but so beautifull... :'( (it always works well on a concert.
-
I would have to say,
the saddest piece ever is the 2nd mvmt of Beethoven's Op. 18 No. 1 Quartet.
the chords are so haunting. :o
-
I'm surprized no one's mentioned the Franck Prelude, Chorale and Fugue. It's really morose and melancholy and it works itself into a big melodramatic climax. I got so emotionally overwhelmed the first time I performed it that I started to cry at the end. :P :'( ;D Another really emotionally overwhelming piece is scriabin's sonata no. 3. I love those kinda pieces but they're a devil to learn. :P
-
Heh this thread makes me think of Arthur Rubinstein being bodyslammed by a gorilla. Am I right?!
-
I do think Rach's Elegie is the saddest piece of music I've ever heard.
-
Try Mendelsohnn's Fantaisie op.28. I don't know the two others, but the first movement is just amazing! And it's not really "romantic-slow" all along, it has parts of virtuosity, but it has major parts of "romantic-slowness". Listen to this one, it's great!
-
Tearful:Granados The maid and the nightingale :'( .. it's hard not to get emotional
-

yeah, but I just dont understand the ending to that piece.

I made a girl cry with satie's first gymnopedie.

I also made a girl cry with that piece, but it was probably under different circumstances than yours .......... ;)

OMG Most Passionate Piece Ever!!! Soooo good!

How about: Chopin: Mazurka op17 no4 a-moll ,also Etude op10 no6 eb-moll Medtner: Sonata Reminisenza op 38 no1 Scriabin: Sonata no 3 [III] Rachmaninoff: Moment Musical in b-minor Scarlatti: Sonata Longo 33 in b-minor LVB: Sonata op.106 [III] JSB: Sarabande from Partita no.6 e-moll there's tons more, but these are some of my faves. I hope you can dig on 'em. Enjoy, Sousa
-
Ornstein's Suicide in an Airplane. That's a real tear-jerker :'(
-
OK, here's my input:
Bach's Prelude # 8 in e flat from WTC book 1
Rachmaninoff Vocalise
Chopin has so many, but particularly, Ballade #1, Nocturne #7 in c# minor, etude op 10 #6 in e flat minor
-
Chopin's Ballade no.4 sounds mournful at some parts (and angry too).
Chopin Ballade No 4 is heartbreakingly sad and so passionate. Also...can't believe noone has suggested the Etude Op 10 No 3 in E - Chopin himself said he would never write a more beauitiful melody! Final three - Bach C-sharp minor, Eb minor and F minor preludes and fugues from book one are total tearjerkers.
PS...another three! ;D Barber adagio for strings, John Williams' Theme from Schindler's list and Elgar Nimrod - enough to have anyone welling up! :'(
-
rachmaninoff vocalise
rachmaninoff: moment musical no 4 in b minor, this is a MUST!!!!!
chopin nocturne in c minor
-
perhaps not romantic, but Schuberts 6th moment musicaux in Ab major. So simple, in all its beauty.
-
Rach's Op.32 no 10 B minor...powerfully tearful.
-
The music to Schindlers List
-

Tchaikovsky: Romance Op.5 and Does the Day Reign? Op.47 No.6 (this one's a song)
there's supposed to be a solo piano transcription for the song that's pretty awesome which i've only heard someone play once but i can't find the music anywhere.
-
I was surprised nobody mentioned Satie's Gymnopedies until about the 30th post!
These get my vote...closely followed by Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9.
Good topic
