Subtitle / Other TitleFor voice and piano, completed by Benjamin Britten

Date1939-1942

Date InformationThe manuscript paper this completion is written on dates from Britten's period in the USA. It has not yet been possible to narrow the date down more specifically.

DescriptionCompletion of the work by Schubert which was based on J.W. von Goethe's Faust, Part I. This completion was made while Britten was in the United States, possibly because he left the earlier completion behind in England. It is very similar to the earlier version (which has been published) but there are some minor differences.
