Researched are some works of composer A. Schnitke, defining general emotional orientation of his works. Among them people’s book about Faust, that absorbed countless legends and rumors about personality of the magician, his contacts with the underworld, his repentance and tragic end. Legends, that became the theme of five-century understanding of Faust, inspired outstanding writers, musicians, artists of various epochs.
