A Faust Symphony in three character pictures (German: "Eine Faust-Symphonie in drei Charakterbildern" ), S.108, or simply the "Faust Symphony", was written by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt and was inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's drama, "Faust". The symphony was premiered in Weimar on September 5, 1857, for the inauguration of the Goethe–Schiller Monument there.
Without Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Franz Liszt would not have composed the Faust Symphony
Faust is the most important piece of literature in German history. If it had never been written, Franz Liszt could not have based a symphony on it.
