Summary/Abstract: Although Polish-German cultural relationships have existed for a long time, only some aspects of them have become the subject of a more or less systematic research of musicologists and literary historians. In this text, I would like to bring up one of the little-known aspect of Polish-German relations in the field of literature and music in the nineteenth century – the performance of some lyrical pieces from the first part of the tragedy "Faust" by Johann Wolfgang Goethe in the Warsaw Literary Salon led by Magdalena and Wacław Łuszczewski. The lyric was set to music by the Polish composer Anthony Radziwiłł. The performance has been enjoyed by a wide audience in artistic circles, especially by those in musical circles, not only in Warsaw but in the whole Kingdom of Poland. The performances of "Faust" at the royal castle Monbijou and then at “Singakademie” (“Academy of Singing”) in Berlin were very widely covered as well.
