1980–1983
Large orchestra
In fact, this is the ouverture for the music theatre “Doktor Faustus”, but in a somewhat larger instrumentation (4-4-4-4 etc. instead of 3-3-3-3).
It should be performed during the ultimate concert of the last European Symphony Orchestra just before it is shut down by the neoliberal cultural adepts of the late political gangster Milton Friedman.
