A Faust Symphony in three character studies (S.108), or simply the "Faust Symphony", was written by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt and was inspired by Johann von Goethe's drama, Faust. There are three movements: While begun earlier - sketches for a Faust symphony exist from the 1840s - it was mainly written in Weimar in the summer of 1854. The work was then revised in the next few years, with a Chorus Mysticus added to the finale in which words from Faust Part II are sung to music from the middle movement, and other changes made also. It was premiered in Weimar on September 5, 1857.
