Instruments required edit
I don't think that the instruments required are as small as the article had stated. At least, there are two more flutes or one more contrabassoon. (Addaick 14:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC))
Liszt was German, not Hungarian! edit

- ... which soundly refutes any such notion. I don't know what you've been reading. This issue has been debated endlessly on his Talk page, and always the consensus is that he was Hungarian. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 07:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Proposed move edit
This article was originally created with what seems to be the best title, 'A Faust Symphony'; then it acquired its current title, 'Faust Symphony', with an m edit summary. A move to 'A Faust Symphony in three character studies' was reverted, possibly because it's a bit unwieldy. However, consider the following:
- A London Symphony, A Sea Symphony and A Pastoral Symphony by Ralph Vaughan Williams, but...
- Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky: and...
- A Colour Symphony by Arthur Bliss, but...
- Universe Symphony, by Charles Ives, or The Cotswolds (symphony) by Gustav Holst: and...
- An Alpine Symphony (Eine Alpensinfonie) by Richard Strauss, and...
- ...thus A Faust Symphony (Eine Faust-Sinfonie), to which I propose to move it.

In the note on the first movement reference is made to "a very gingery C minor". Since there is no obvious smell or taste of ginger, perhaps this is a literal for "gingerly", though an adverb isn't very grammatical here. Unacknowledged quotation from an original which completes the verb? Kramer (who certainly uses this adverb in similar contexts e.g with Marenzio)?Delahays (talk) 13:52, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Delahays (talk) 13:52, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Delahays (talk) 13:47, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
The note on the work's performance history somehow manages to forget that it was recorded in Paris, in 1935,on 78s, under Selmar Meyrowitz.Delahays (talk) 15:18, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Delahays (talk) 15:14, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
