I'm looking for sad piano solos?

Question

I'm looking for some music suggestions... I really want some soft, sad piano solos. Can someone please recommend me some?

Answer 1

Same answer I gave a couple of weeks ago to the same question, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, set for solo piano. The original piece has been considered by some to be THE saddest musical piece, ever.

Another would be this portion of Sir Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, titled "Nimrod," set to piano:

This is The death of Aase, from Greig's Peer Gynt Suite #1, set to piano:

By the way, here's the originally-orchestrated Barber Adagio:
