I shan't argue with you, for you make a good case. :-)
Actually, we could probably come up with more, but I was trying to
distinguish between romantic music and passionate music. Certainly the
passion is there in "Tristand und Isolde".
We could consider Stavinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps" might just fit
the catagory. And in a darker tone, possibly Liszt's Mephisto Waltz
number 1.
