 | | INKPOT#64 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: LISZT A Faust Symphony. | | | Beethoven's Sixth Symphony ("Pastoral", 1807-8), some would claim, was the first essay in such a genre; although the composer would often remind his listeners that his ultimate goal was not to describe pictures or events, but rather, to express emotion. | | | Though he was somewhat daunted by the prospect and its scale, he was greatly motivated by the subject's popularity with his admired Berlioz ( La Damnation de Faust) and Wagner ( Faust Overture), so much so that he dashed off in a white heat of inspiration to compose his Faust Symphony within two months. |

| | Also unclassifiable is Berlioz' La Damnation de Faust, which, along with Gounod's opera, remains one of the most popular musical expressions of the Faust story, and, many would argue, the most compelling of them all. | | | Accompanied by the solo viola, she sings of faithful lovers, an appropriate subject as she anticipates her meeting with Faust, about whom she has reciprocally dreamed. | | | Non-operatic works inspired by Faust include symphonies by Liszt and Mahler (No. 8), overtures by Wagner and Smetana, and Schumann's unclassifiable Scenes from Goethe's Faust. |

| | It has been pointed out by numerous scholars that Puccini has a penchant for the conjunct melody, a melody that moves stepwise or in small skips, something that his melodies have in common with folk music and children’s songs, making them immediately accessible to the ear as well as memorable. | | | One of the most popular of his melodies from La bohème, Musetta’s waltz song “Quando me’n vo’”, is simply a very well manipulated descending E-major scale. | | | One also notices after being swept away by Puccini& melodies that the voice is often treated in a kind of parlando style, approximating speech (“spoken music”, according to the Harvard Dictionary of Music). |
