It's Liebestraum anyway
Chopin prelude 28 no 2
Def Liebestraum no.3 because this is for valentines day
The F# minor and G minor Gondellied by Mendelssohn
Piece, not song
One thing I love about ‘sad’ music is that it’s full of emotion which you can tie into joy or sorrow or both. It’s all interpretation.
wow very true
the saddest music imo is the ones that are like a mix of major and minor like very chromatic pieces
Not true actually. Minor-scale music is known to be "sad" or "dark" or "both" unlike major-scale, which is known to be more "energetic" or "uplifting" or "happy"
@@mahmoudalsayed1138You can achieve a very happy feeling even with minor tonalities
@@mahmoudalsayed1138 how are you going to say their opinion on sad music is untrue when it is literally subjective
While it is not for piano, the most profoundly beautiful expression of deep sadness to me is Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.
absolutely!
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.
you too
Rachmaninov's D-Major prelude has also made me shed some tears a few times, Irina Lankova's performance is particularly moving.
@@Kalos91 thanks for the recommendation: I will check it out 😃
@@adrianok4266 it's a pleasure 😉 that piece is one of my personal favourites but my all time favourite from Rachmaninov is the 1st of the Moments Musicaux, and the 4th obviusly
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?
Chopin's nocturne in C# minor deserves to be there.
Prelude in e minor deserves to be there as well
Agreed
Mazurka in a minor as well
B Fuat minör
Yes, as well as Bb Minor
if you just close your eyes on some of theses songs it almost makes you want to cry. so beautiful😢
Hey I love you
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.
liebestraum is bittersweet
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.
@@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).
You're gonna make me cry
@@dunkleosteus430He gonna say goodbye …
The best music never dies...
It makes me a little happier knowing others like the sadness of the piano as much as me
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.
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.
Idk man. To me moonlight sonata always will be boring
@@woodymcsackschwei5619 not for me, that broken c sharp minor chord always breaks me everytime i hear it. You do not need many notes to express what you feel, in Beethoven's case he only needs 3. Such a marvel this piece is
Mozart's lacrimosa is more 'dark' piece to me rather than sad music
Lacrimosa got wrong this video
Right!
It sounds like Mozart was haunted by death
@@jweyekthanks you for the information
mozart had 3 hands
D minor - the saddest of all keys
I think C#minor is a really sad key
I don't get sad when I listen to Clair de lune... it is making me travel softly and dream....
Same here!
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.
How is the love dream, Gymnopedie and Clair de lune sad?
I think that a lot of beautiful pieces are somehow being mistaken as sad. Sometimes the two coincide but in this case I agree with you!
@@laurelmentor404liebestraum is sad though. Do you know the poem?
@@nasirferguson4098 yes, I think the original one, the lied, is actually sad because the lyrics to the poem are sung and it has made me cry. You, are right; for people who know the back story, it is a sad piece, but I think most people just listen to the piano transcription in which the music just doesn’t sound like one of the saddest pieces of music.
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
@@laurelmentor404 okay I actually agree with you for that one.
this is more of the most popular in the modern age, rather than saddest. schubert made much sadder music, and so did beethoven. Its sad that people who watch these videos don't learn about music, they're just regergtaed the same dam music that's been heard 100000 times. music is so much more :(
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.
Finally a cultured man
¿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.
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.
@@TrayyTurner Definitivamente, me he encontrado a dos de los míos, os recomiendo un canal que se llama “library of bach” que está subiendo toda la obra de ese gran maestro, escucharé esas obras, gracias
I don't know if it's only piano pieces, but some major honorable mentions is Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony, Gorecki's 3rd symphony, Arvo Part's Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten and of course Albinoni's adagio.
Whenever I listen to these masterpieces,
my soul is filled with an ineffable sorrow
The lacrimosa and moonlight sonata was the dramatic one i love these two ❤❤btw u play well ❤❤❤❤
Moonlight Sonata is not really sad tbh, its about some love story.
The 1s movement was more a funeral march, but not sure about this information
@@Aleksandr_Skrjabinmoonlight sonata isn’t about a love story lol
@@2174863 Yes it is. Search it or ask it.
The one that always makes me sad is Ravel Piano Concerto in G major, 2nd movement
these are the music that we are looking for our days when we feel all alone and these pieces of music give us a new meaning of what we are going through.
Thank you for this video, Seriously! i have been looking for like half of these songs. I appreciate you 🫡
The Pavane for a Dead Princess, is bittersweet, at times happy and at times really sad, depending on how it's interpreted. Nevertheless, it not only deserves a place as one of the saddest pieces, but perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces ever. I wish you would make a computer synthesia of it some day
Fun fact: Ravel was french, and the original name of that piece was “Pavane pour une infante défunte”, which means “Pavane for a dead infant” (specifically a girl) in french. I dont know where they got the princess from in the translation lol
@@JolokifYkofccmc-cv8nl Yeah, I've always wondered why that word looks suspiciously like "infant".
@@JolokifYkofccmc-cv8nl But didn't he make comments on it one time saying he thought of some unspecified princess far back in the day?
This is my favourite, it's so elegance at the same time, I love it!
infante in this case doesn`t mean child, it means the daughter of a king that wont become a princess. only the older daughter could become a princess, the younger one was called an infant.@@JolokifYkofccmc-cv8nl
I love sad songs ever...and just close my eyes and play something...just let the fingers play something. My eyes end up a little watery and i just don't know why, but i know my life was always so sad, yet, i always prefer to listen and play sad songs
good job! love your videos
The songs really touch the inside of you. It changes how you feel.
I felt so heartfelt while watching this video. It was hard-hearted. I loved it but really, it broke my heart...speech ended, thank you.
I think the schubert serenade isn't sad but just very romantic
I feel peaceful when I hear the songs
Wonderful renderings of the composers as well!
I would actually put more baroque stuff here. Albinoni’s Adagio for strings is sad, and a really sad one nobody knows is the Chaconne in G minor by Tomaso Antonio Vitali. Also, the devils trill sonata, and even the Bach chaconne in D minor are far more sad than the Liszt, Debussy, and Satie.
Also, poor Mahler, he wrote some pretty tragic lieder.
I love this one 1:55
How is Liebestraum AKA The Love Dream sad?
Dreaming of love because it will never happen
@@mistadude bruhhhh
Actually, the liebesträume were originally written as lieder set to poetry but then transcribed for piano. Perhaps there is a bittersweet quality to the piece/ song? But I would never classify it as sad.
The piece is about being reunited with a lost love in one's dream, only to be brought back into reality that your love is no longer there.
Speaking of it,I think Liszt HAD A FRICKING LOVER
The songs bring sad,mad, and calm music. When you listen to the music you calm yourself and enjoying the peaceful time listening to the music.
The last one, my favourite, salute!
My God. The sixth symphony of Tchaikovsky too deserves to be there (especially, fourth movement).
Definitely one of the best music ^^ Thank you for the playlist
I personally think that many of these pieces are actually very romantic, but it's nice to see someone thinking of it as "sad pieces".
I personally think that some preludes and nocturnes by Chopin are actually sorrow itself but it's of course a point of view
When the music started, I felt a chill🥺🥺🥺🥺😧😧❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your "sad" choices! And for putting up with some really snarky comments....some people are never satisfied but would never bother to compile and produce these themselves! Congratulations on your choices and your Forbearance!
Adagio sostenuto Appassionato e con molto sentimento sonata 29 op. 106 by Beethoven is a truly minor piece
I’m happy Standchen was their one of my favs
I was looking for a piece to listen when im depressed, thank you i've found a pavane for a dead princess (not a dead pavane for a princess lol)
Your definition of "sad" really intrigues me. Where are Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony (the fourth movement), "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's opera "Gianni Schicchi" and Barber's "Adagio for strings"?
merci beaucoup !! ❤❤
Some of the best
4:00 was looking for this classic thanks
İt's really so sad musics and they are emotional.
The second movement of Rachmaninoff’s second sonata would be a great addition to the list, and I also recommend checking out Rachmaninoff’s choral work “The Bells” especially movements 2 and 4 which are especially filled with emotion. Great video :)
His prelude No. 4 in A is also beautiful
This makes me happy
Sounds beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chopin Nocturne op48 no1
Liszt (~Liebestraum no3~) Sonata in B minor
Ravel 2nd mvt of his G major Piano Concerto
Schubert (~Ständchen~) Sonata S960
Rachmaninov 2nd mov of his Sonata 2
"Satie - Gymnopedie" look like a minecraft soundtrack
This is a saddest songs I listen 😢😢the legends of piano🎼🎹
There's is really more sad
Can you this songs
@@user-lj2qv3bm5q what ? I don't understand
Sorry can you tell me this songs
Some of this, for me, they are not inspire sadness rather serenity. Thabks
Me too. I find most of them peaceful or dreamy rather than sad. But everyone responds differently.
Hell yeah!! Franz Schubert!
YeS! I was expectinf chopin's funeral march to be there haha ive been learning that before fingerstyle on guitar. When i found out i can learn something on piano in a day that i trained for months on guitar , i never play it anymore . Beautiful instrument but its too painful , piano is the best ❤️ cant wait to learn it on piano and play it to my neighbors as a bedtime music 😂
So lovely, and sad
hello teacher i wish with all my heart that you would This song is my soul song .. .....Nikos ignatiadis - inspiration ..... thank you🙏🙏
you have a sad peace
Moonlight sonata ✨✨🌔
Schubert's Serenade,as with other pieces,was from another place,- -it just popped into his head, like ""Yesterday "did with Paul McCartney-so the supposed composer was really just aa conduit.
I like the blend of happiness and sadness the pieces bring out...just perfect
Very good👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏🏻
Also Chopin's nocturn in e-minor op. 72 no. 1
Chopin Nocturne No 20 in C# minor?
I would really recommend looking into träumerei by schumann. It is a beautifully sad song and makes me very nostalgic of my childhood.
Chopin prélude op28 n°15, very sad story.
My favorite sad piece of all time is the Adagio movement from the 9th symphony by Gustav Mahler.
This really should include Chopin’s second A minor prelude. It’s one of the saddest pieces out there.
and E minor ,too (I remember it was Op. 28 No.4🤔), it was toot sad for me to listen😢
I disagree, its dark but not sad neccesarily, also its mostly just slow.
I refuse to belive Chopin and Liszt made sonatas
I only belive in Mozart and Beethoven's sonatas
@@CharlesCalvinWillShootYou Chopin Sonata's arent so known but they are there with extrodinary expressions of drama, Liszt B minor Sonata also very interesting but further i cant say much about Liszt.
@@CharlesCalvinWillShootYouWell, good news, you have to refuse no longer! They did.
noIce
Maybe the top 10 most well know classical songs.
I love classical music
Me too
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
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?
All those poitraits looking so badass
3 out of my 4 favourite pieces were on the list :(
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
I wish to be a good pianist one day!
Oh, oh, Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" is deeply missed!
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.
Where did you find these arts? I want to look over them.
imo, chopin's ballade no.1's a-major part is the most saddest
❤❤❤❤❤
I'd say only two or three of these pieces are purely sad. Ther rest of them is either dramatic, dark or simply calm with a little bit of nostalgy, like Clair de Lune. If you call this sad, you could as well mention nocturne no.20 by Chopin.
Tak Szopen deklasuje konkurencje pod względem smutności.
Dang that’s sad
Damn well this is masterpiece
There is no sad or happy music. There are sad moments and happy moments.
To paraphrase Schubert: "does happy music exist at all?"
The most sad music of Bach is Chaconne in D minor.
I dont care if Lacrimosa sounds depressing, I remember it as NOOT NOOT
Why is Liebestraum sad? I've played this many times for 3 years already and never think it can exist in a sad category 😱
@@BreadForTheWin Oh okay tks for the explanation. I have an imaginary girlfriend for 6 years already and I learned this piece to give her 😄 Luckily our relationship has not come to an end.
A bit surprised that Gnossienne III isn't in here, but instead Gymnopédie No. 1, which is made by the same artist.
1:55 Duke of Classical Music
0:57 Baron of Classical Music
I very love Moonlight sonata
Me too
Why lacrimosa is so weird everytime?
Missing the prelude in la minor😅
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
What about Beethoven sonata no.12 3rd movement?
0:59
On Lacrymosa you did mistake in notes: you did G#-A insteas of A-Bb
02:41 just reminds me of the succesion intro theme and I dont know why
chopin , op28 no.4 is deff up there
