There's a certain nobility in the suffering expressed at the end of the Pathétique Symphony IMHO.
OTOH, I always remember the article in Stereo Review (back in the 60's I think), the "Guide to Party Conversation about Classical Music", which had ready-made phrases you could say - even if you didn't know anything about the subject. For Tchaikovsky, it was: "Tchaikovsky? Ah yes - such marvelous self pity!". ;-)
