I've always found this piece to be both mysterious and disturbing.

Some say this prelude was composed in Stuttgart. The Polish pianist Jan Kleczynski (1837-1895) preferred to play the first prelude two times, and then skip this prelude, because he felt this prelude was too bizarre to play. Vladimir de Pachmann: "The second is, I think, somewhat poor and I remember that Liszt himself once told me that he thought it a little weak." It was composed in Majorca, Nov/Dec of 1838 and published in 1839; it is dedicated to Camille Pleyel.
Hans von Bulow called this prelude, Presentiment of Death.
