Full score published in 1887. See Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1887), p.103. (Though "Ausgegeben 1886" on the first page of the overture suggests that this score, including the overture, was issued in 1886, whatever HMB says.)

This file is part of the Sibley Mirroring Project. Mentioned as "just published" in The Musical Times..." March 1, 1887"! 1874 (or earlier) fl. date for Vance because an 1874 (September 1) MTimes mentions a Schumann "Faust" she translated.
