It is interesting that you differentiate between these two.  I for one feel
comforted by music that reflects my sadness.  Maybe a question of different
character.  But maybe it is not really correct what I've written now.  The
music I choose when being sad is more contemplative than sad.  Really sad
music (like the Adagio from the Moonlight sonata) make me sadder than I was
before listening.  I never listen to Winterreise when I feel lonely.
