In Reply to: depressing post - what music depresses OR is depressing? [no text] posted by Hi-Fi Nut on June 23, 2012 at 01:46:06:
Depression is as legitimate a human emotion to express musically as happiness. By the end of the third movement, I have lost all hope. Until...that ringing c-major triad that opens the fourth movement. And I discover that, amid tragedy, there is not only hope, but triumph. That's why this is greatest piece of music ever written.
