An exploration in words and music 'of the devilish themes in Thomas Mann 's novel Doctor Faustus by Robert Nye and Humphrey Searle
Thomas Mann 's novel Doctor Fanslus is the biography of an imaginary German composer called Adrian Leverkiihn , as told by his friend Serenus Zeitblom. Leverkuhn is a very modern Faust. He sells his soul to the devil not to achieve wisdom or power or fame, but to refresh and revitalise his musical imagination.
Robert Nye 's script explores the musical and devilish themes in Mann's novel and Humphrey Searle , using the various descriptions in the book, has composed the kind of music which Leverkuhn, the fictitious atonal composer, might have written.
