Laisse pleuvoir mille feux éclatants. Sento la brezza mattutina che scivola nell’aria Je sens glisser dans l’air la brise matinale; Un puro soffio spira dal mio petto ardente. De ma poitrine ardente un souffle pur s’exhale. Ecco intorno a me risvegliarsi gli uccelli, J’entends autour de moi le réveil des oiseaux, Il lungo mormorio delle piante e delle acque… Le long bruissement des plantes et des eaux… Dolce è vivere in seno a queste solitudini, Oh! qu’il est doux de vivre au fond des solitu- Lontano dai conflitti e dalle moltitudini! des, Loin de la lutte humaine et loin des multitudes! (Rumori lontani, di vita campestre e di guerra, cominciano a turbare la quiete della scena pastorale.)

Dabei verändert der ursprüngliche Stoff sowohl seinen Charakter als auch seine Aussage. Schaubild der Faust-Opern Die „Historia von Dr. Faust“ von 1587 entspricht ganz dem christlichen Geist der Epoche. Doktor Faust gilt als Inbegriff eines hybriden Gelehrten, der über das dem Menschen zugestandene Maß an Gelehrsamkeit und Erkenntnis hinausstrebt und zu diesem Zweck einen Pakt mit dem Teufel abschließt.

  • Goethe's Faust in Music
    Music in Goethe’s Faust: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Goethe’s Faust in Music CALL FOR PAPERS 20-22 April 2012 Music Department and School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Culture NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Music in Goethe’s Faust: Goethe’s Faust in Music Keynote Speakers Professor Nicholas Boyle (Schroeder Professor of German, Magdalene College Cambridge) Professor Thomas Bauman (Professor of Musicology, Northwestern University, USA) Professor Osman Durrani (Professor of German, University of Kent) The name ‘Faust’ and the adjective ‘faustian’ are as emblematic of the supra-intellectual as they are of the tragic. Such concepts haunt German cultural life and have prompted countless discussions in philosophy, literature, the visual arts and music, especially in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through this a broad trajectory can be traced from Zelter’s colourful record of the first setting of Goethe’s Faust - composed by prince and rehearsed by a royal cast in Berlin in 1816 - to Alfred Schnittke’s Faust opera of 1993. Between these two realizations, a floodtide of musical interpretations of Goethe’s Faust came into existence; these explore the theme of love, so central to opera, and the concomitant themes of redemption for both Gretchen and Faust. A theatrical work with the artistic virtuosity and moral gravity of Goethe’s Faust need not be musically inclusive, yet Goethe sought out many burgeoning musicians - Heinrich Schmieder, Carl Friedrich Zelter, Carl Eberwein and Prince Anton Heinrich Radziwill – as possible composers of Faust. While Goethe longed to have Faust set to music and considered only Mozart and perhaps Meyerbeer as being equal to the task, by the end of his life he had abandoned hope that he would live to witness a musical setting of his text.

Helena Tyrväinen The restless and searching spirit of the 1890s — Berlioz’s La 1 Damnation de Faust in Helsinki An announcement published in the Helsinki newspaper Uusi Suometar on 21 April, 1900 reveals a great deal about the first eighteen years of the existence of the orchestra of the Helsinki Philharmonic Society and about Finnish musical life in general: Faust, the dramatic legend by Berlioz, will be given in the University Festival Hall on Wednesday 25th of this month. When performed some years ago, this great symphonic work obtained a success which in comparison to other musical works is probably unequalled here. The attractive power it held over the audience seemed unlimited.2 With its great Berlioz concerts of the end of the nineteenth century the orchestra of the Philharmonic Society joined an international current which posthumously advanced the status of the French composer to that of a cult figure. In Finland this phenomenon climaxed with eleven performances of La Damnation de Faust in April 1894 and 1895. These first Finnish performances of La Damnation offer a window into the special characteristics of what has been called the Golden Age of Finnish arts.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1 The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)" If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity 2 When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame If copynghted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3 When a map, drawing or chart, etc , is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete 4.
