can anyone recommend a piano piece that's sad, slow, and mournful? i'm looking for a piece to play and i'm a sucker for anything slow, minor, and with weird harmonies :) thanks!

Ignatz answered Wednesday December 26 2007, 4:23 pm: If you're up for a challenge, check out Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight". It's not reeeealllly sloooow, but there's some challenging dissonances, and since it's a classic jazz piece it should be easy to find the sheet music. Either that or else Charles Mingus' "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat". Also look for Tom Waits' musical theater pieces: "Frank's Wild Years", "The Black Rider", "Alice", and "Blood Money". Any one of those shows will provide slow, mournful, really freakin' weird songs. [ Ignatz's advice column | Ask Ignatz A Question ]

But the slower (obviously) songs, like "Music of the Night", "All I Ask Of You" or "Think of Me"?
