Is this the saddest classical piece ever written?

Warning: this might make you tear up…

Born as a quiet quartet movement, Barber’s Adagio for Strings grew into a melody that haunts, comforts, and moves the world. Played at memorials, remembered in films, it’s music that lingers long after the last note fades.

Orquesta Reino de Aragón
Conductor: Ricardo Casero
