YEZZUH!
I see lots of classical and early electronica being represented; let me pitch in with something a little more recent.
Do you like abstract hip hop? Do you like the Waltz?

Elliot Smith - Needle in the Hay
you know, I've always thought prelude to cello suit no. 1 by Bach was sad in it's own way.

I found a great YouTube instrumental cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea".
Watched it for the first time last night and was enamored. Such a great job by the Youtuber.

i always come into threads about a lot of classic music to try to locate this one classical music track I heard when I was a little kid. It was played during the ending of this really short astronomy daily that would air on PBS telling you about what planets and stars you could see in the sky during that time of year. And then later I encountered it while playing some shitty multi-puzzler named HoyleGames 2006 or something, but it didn't have the name of the classic track on it anywhere.

Do you have access to the Soundhound app?
i don't do apps, save pandora, but reading up on Soundhound I'm not sure how it'd help... I don't know the name of the composer or the name of the track, so I can't find it like that :O(

Excellent choice. Can't believe I forgot that one.
oh my god THAT'S IT but this is closer to the version as I more recently remember it.
Holy fuck holy fuck I've been looking for this for fucking over FIFTEEN YEARS! FIFTEEN!
I will seriously paypal you $20 on Thursday for this if you want.
i seriously can't believe that i finally know the name of this shit. I am going to add it to my classical music sleeping playlist tonight and have amazing dreams. I cannot possibly thank you enough. Best internet e-gift ever.

Ravel's Piano Concerto in G - 2nd movement (Adagio)

Is this sorrow? Is this joy? I guess it depends on the listener. It certainly is beautiful, though.

Wow, another GAFer mentioned Bach's Chaconne? Major wow!

The second movement from Beethoven's 7th.

Staggeringly sad/beautiful piece of music and a cool video too.

Beethoven's Cavatina (13th String Quartet, 5th movement)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC26f1XBKjQ
It just exudes this bittersweet quality. Particularly from 5:09 to 6:00. It's such a small part of the movement/string quartet, but the way the 1st violin just faintly struggles to make itself heard, gasping for air. I'm still unsure what it represents for me - despair, or hope?
Apparently writing this movement brought him to tears.
