What are some pieces in classical music that evoke emotion?

Answer by  shel0212 (53)

Probably the piece that affects me the most is Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. It is extremely passionate and powerful. Another piece is New World Symphony by Dvorak.

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata never fails to evoke deep emotions. It is heavy and slow, and it speaks of loss and despair and desparate longing.

Almost anything by Tchaikovsky, Chopin, or any of the Romantic composers who worked in the mid- t late 1800s will evoke an emotional response in most people.

Des Ires is a good one that evokes emotion. It is a slow dirge that is quite dreadful. It gives the listener a haunted and full sound. Which evokes emotion.
