That's a very haunting piece.
I first learned about its existence by reading about it, rather than hearing it. (Although I think I had heard it beforehand without realizing the title.)
There is a novel called The Mephisto Waltz. It's about a pianist who sells his soul to the devil, hence the significance of his playing that particular piece of music.
