The old legend of 'Faust' and his bargain with the Evil One has attracted dramatists and composers throughout the ages, and Liszt more than once made parts of the tale the bases of his own music. His Faust Symphony, setting forth in orchestral music different episodes of the story, has already been broadcast, and so has this waltz.
The episode which it describes shows us Faust and Mephistopheles on a country walk together. They come to a village inn where there has just been a wedding and the guests and villagers are dancing in merry rustic fashion. Faust is immediately attracted by one of the village lasses, and Mephistopheles urges him to invite her to dance. Then, taking one of the players' fiddles from him, he boasts that he will show them how dance music should be played. His wild music sets the dance going more madly than ever, Faust and his lady as gaily as anyone. In the midst of the revelry, the pair dance out through the open door away to the woods, but even there the sound of Mephistopheles' wild fiddling pursues them.
