A work of music by a composer who killed his wife, and he seems to have been wracked by guilt to the point where, later in life, he hired a servant whose job was to beat the crap out of him every day. And that pain comes out in his music, creating wild levels of chromaticism that's rarely seen in music until the 19th century.
I'm no expert in music, but it does sound like this music was composed by someone who'd gone insane.
