For me, the saddest piece of music is Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Sonata for Cello in G Minor," a seriously beautiful and somber piece for cello with piano accompaniment. I'm not sure whether I would class it as "depressing," however. The piece is more poignant and affecting than depressing. It's a flowing meditation, a lyrical lament—and one of the most profound expressions of sorrow ever written.
