Шаблон:Italic title The Faust Overture is a concert overture by German composer Richard Wagner. Originally composed between 1839 and 1840, Wagner intended it to be the first movement of a Faust Symphony based on the Faust legend and play by German playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Eventually, Wagner abandoned writing the planned symphony and composed instead a single-movement concert overture, incorporating ideas from the other sketched movements. He made a final revision to the score in 1855. The Faust Overture is one of the few compositions by Wagner which was written for the concert hall, rather than the theatre.
