I'm sure you (or Wiki) are right. I've never been very good at history. Or music. I just consume and I think the Mondschein Sonate is really something that fits the bill. I love that sonata.
Not sure if it's in a minor key, though. Just as you said: let the real experts find that out. (But, please let me know, as I am now curious.)
A a side note, don't Baroque and Romantic/Mournful not contradict each other somewhat? Maybe you can go to Bach's Paasion pieces (Bach is firmly in the Baroque Box o'Composers), but other than that, I don't think Baroque stuff is really build / suitable for mournful music. Baroque was an age of courtly music, to dance to and be happy. Show the glory of God, King and/or Country. Lots of ornamentation, side steps, etc.

The mystery deepens... I think. *MySmiley*

Here is one that came to mind. Not quite the best version, but still a worthy performance.

The Adagio of Rachmaniov's Piano Concerto 2 is...moving. It was actually the first that came to mind

You may be able to find what you are looking for in the adagio of Rachmaninov's Second Symphony.

Here is the second part. I love the French Horns. My heart is melting as I listen to this.

I had forgotten about Kanno. She did something I really enjoyed but I can't remember what it was now

More cello, in other words, if you want haunting and sorrow put on JDP.

Huh, I didn't think I would like it at first but it grew on me long before the end of the song.
