K. 87 and K. 466 are pretty sad. 466 is part of a pair, though, and it is a capital crime to play it by itself. K. 467 could well be titled appasionato.

Bach P&F WTC1, in G# Minor, it's No. 18 I think.

Easy (the easiest of the 555 sonatas) and beautiful.
I find it lyrical, melancholic (and a little sad as well).

LOL havent heard "captain obvious" in FOREVER... lololol

um, haha, I think bach's 7th invention (2-part) when played slowly (NOT like gould), is kind of a sad piece... lovely too.

Scarlatti: K69, k466, k208, k213, k402, k481, k546. These are just a few of my favourites. Some are more reflective and meditative than exactly sad. Have a look here for more:

https://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/topic,2339.msg20064.html#msg20064
(Scarlatti favourite sonatas).

Couperin: Many melancholic pieces amongst the 264 pieces he wrote for the keyboard. My favourite (amongst the sad ones) is “La convalescente”

Jacques Duphly: Again, many melancholic pieces of high quality amongst his severl pieces for keyboard. Try “La de Drummond” and “La Foqueray”. And have a look here:

(Jacques Duphly)

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
