Hi
Can anybody help me with pieces of classical music that represent/ reflects different kinds of human moods - fx one for sadness, one for joy, one for angry, one for tired, one for playfull, one for dreaming. I am looking for musical pieces that a quite short (1-3 minutes) - of the same composer - instrumental music.
THANKS

Are you sure you want to limit yourself to one composer for all of the moods? That will limit your options quite a bit.

I will try if possible....
I know it is difficult, that is why I am trying to ask here.

Or, possibly, Tchaikovsky - The Months?

The Months-- ha! I.E. the Seasons, for piano, or orchestra.

A perfect way to put mood to a month.
