Berlioz Eight Scenes from Faust (Full Score, hardback)

Berlioz read Goethe's Faust, Part One in 1828, in Gérard de Nerval's translation; "this marvellous book fascinated me from the first", he recalled in his Memoirs.  "I could not put it down. I read it incessantly, at meals, in the theatre, in the street."  He was so impressed that a suite entitled Eight Scenes from Faust became his Opus 1 (1829), though he later recalled all the copies of it he could find.  He returned to the material in 1845, to make the larger work Damnation of Faust.
