"Doktor Faust" is not only Busoni’s "Opus summum” from a chronological point of view; it also evidences traces of many earlier scores which the composer brought together here under the primacy of musical theater which led, as it were, to an objectification of many scenes. Antony Beaumont’s completion of the two scenes left in fragmentary form was based on Busoni’s composition sketches and a detailed dramaturgical outline. The new version has made a decisive contribution to the renewed interest in the work. The score is also available in a new version prepared after a critical study of the source material.

Symphonia: Ostervesper und Frühlingskeimen
1. Prologue I: Euerer Magnifizenz Verzeihung - Also laßt die Studnenten ein - Wer seid ihr?
2. Prologue II: Die Sanduhr zeigt die Mitternacht - So sprich, du Erster, du Tiefster - Ein einzelner blieb - Willst du mir dienen? - Credo in unum Deum - Intermezzo
3. Intermezzo
4. First Scene: Cortège - Un pó più vivace - Sie nah'n - Hier ist er selbst, Euch zu dienen - Ah! ha, ha! - Ein andres jetzt! - Endet das Spiel! - Er ruft mich - Was Wichtiges, sagt Ihr? - Sarabanda
5. Second Scene: So lang man Jugend hat - Der Meister spreche - Ihr, Doktor, weitgereist - Laßt euch nicht stören - Also verbrenn' ich das - Ich lass euch drum allein - Ich schaue dich - Der Mensch ist dem Vollkommenen
6. Third Scene: Ihr Männer und Frauen - Die Antrittsrede Euerer Magnifizenz - Das Haus ist mir bekannt - Sie tanzen durchs Gehirn
