Ferruccio Busoni died in 1924, leaving his last opera Doktor Faust incomplete in two places: in the Helena scene in the second scene and in the final scene with the protagonist's death. The premiere took place posthumously with the addenda by Busoni's student Philipp Jarnach. In 1984, the conductor and Busoni biographer Antony Beaumont presented his addendum based on autograph sketches of which Jarnach had also been quite aware (!). The edition of the piano vocal score released in advance of the Busoni anniversary (100th anniversary of his death) combines for the first time the solutions previously published separately and offers, in addition, a music text with many improved passages that is well aligned with the full score.

Text by the composerTranslation: engl. (E. J. Dent), ital. (V. Levi), port. (G. de Medeiros)Place and time: Bergamo, around the 18th century.Characters: Ser Matteo del Sarto, master tailor (baritone) - Abbate Cospicuo (baritone) - Dottore Bombasto (bass) - Leandro, Cavaliere (tenor) - Arlecchino (speaking part) - Colombina, Arlecchino's wife (mezzo-soprano) - Annunziata, Matteo's wife - Zwei Sbirren - Ein Karrner - a Donkey - People at the windows (silent parts)The idea behind this work was to combine a major speaking role with a part for a female singer and orchestra in the spirit of the opera buffa. The overall tone is pacifistic and anti-bourgeois. Busoni's inspiration was that of an opera-play in the style of Italian improvised comedy; he wanted types and characters on stage whose varying typology would provide the source of conflict ... The title hero absconds with the young wife of the Dante-reading tailor Matteo. He returns as a false barbarian commander, as a husband who engages in a duel with the suitor Count Leandro, and as a conqueror who announces the moral of the story in the epilogue: how to be able to bow in rags and still retain one's dignity and rights. The piece takes a turn for the absurd when the Abbate, at the sight of Leandro, who is presumed dead, begins to sing a chorale-like song of praise to the donkey of Providence who comes trotting in at that moment. This introduces the most musically refined number in the piece, the quartet, in which Leandro's love aria and his duet with Columbina satirize the attitudes prevalent in Italian opera from Scarlatti to Verdi. Musically, Busoni uses throughout the entire work an idiom of dance-like, blissfully transparent comedy and hides harmonic audacities behind touches of lightness. The orchestral sound radiates an incomparable brightness and buoyant elegance. (Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt, 1967)

In the appendix, EB 9433 contains the later composed aria Wer siegt? Wer fallt?..

The mass setting designated as Missa Beatae Mariae Virginis was hitherto unpublished, since the composer rejected all of his early works around the turn of the century. This score convincingly shows that Busoni took himself to task much too severely and nearly prevented posterity from enjoying this impressive vocal work.
