Chopin's Nocturne in Gminor is the closest that music has moved me to tears, but I think that was more to do with the fact that I was going through an extremely stressed time when I first heard it! Another beautiful melancholic piece that can almost move me to tears is one called Yamanai Ame (which ...

You can download the whole set of Hanon at imslp . They also have a huuuge range of public domain scores by almost every composer imaginable. Most certainly a pianists heaven!
