Although rarely staged in its entirety it is the play with the largest audience numbers on German-language stages. Faust is Goethe''s magnum opus and considered by many to be one of the greatest works of German literature. The earliest forms of the work known as the Urfaust were developed between 1772 and 1775; however the details of that development are not entirely clear. Urfaust has twenty-two scenes one in prose two largely prose and the remaining 1441 lines in rhymed verse. The manuscript is lost but a copy was discovered in 1886. The first appearance of the work in print was Faust a Fragment published in 1790. Goethe completed a preliminary version of what is now known as Part One in 1806. Its publication in 1808 was followed by the revised 182829 edition the last to be edited by Goethe himself.
