Which composer wrote a Faust Symphony in 1857?
"the ""Dante"" and ""Faust"" symphonies are often recorded together. In October 1856 Liszt visited Richard Wagner in Zürich and performed his ""Faust"" and ""Dante"" symphonies on the piano. Wagner was critical of the ""Dante Symphony's"" ""fortissimo"" conclusion, which he thought was inappropriate as a depiction of Paradise. In his autobiography he later wrote: ""If anything had convinced me of the man's masterly and poetical powers of conception, it was the original ending of the ""Faust Symphony"", in which the delicate fragrance of a last reminiscence of Gretchen overpowers everything, without arresting the attention by a violent disturbance. The ending of"
"Faust Overture The Faust Overture is a concert overture by German composer Richard Wagner. Wagner originally composed it between 1839 and 1840, intending it to be the first movement of a ""Faust Symphony"" based on the play ""Faust"" by German playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Realizing that he would not finish the planned symphony, Wagner revised the piece between 1843 and 1844, incorporating ideas from the other planned movements, and creating instead a single-movement concert overture. He made a final revision in 1855. The work is one of Wagner's few compositions intended for the concert hall, rather than the theatre."

The first, ""Der nächtliche Zug"", is closely descriptive of Faust as he watches a passing procession of pilgrims by night.
