Here's My Tchaikovsky Sob Festival List:
1:Symphony Nr.6 "Pathetique" (Movement IV)
2:Concerto For Violin & Orchestra in D
My Strauss List:
All 4 last "Songs" or "Lieders" - Only for the reason that It was the music that was played at his own Funeral
(Apart from other pieces played at his funeral that is ).
What Human Could Go past "Don Juan" ?? - The sheer joy and Vivacity of the 1st Minute to the heartfelt conversation throughout the rest of the piece.

Do keep the list comming ........... I must see .... all the different pieces people cry to and then compile one final list and listen to it on a really dark and rainy day ..... I'd really need buckets then !!
