Kurt Weill's first stage work, Zaubernacht (Magical Night), was composed in 1922 while he was still a student. For many years, the only source for the music was Weill’s condensed score for piano with instrumental indications, but a complete set of orchestral parts was discovered at Yale University in 2005, and the score was reconstructed from the parts by the team of Elmar Juchem and Andrew Kuster for the Kurt Weill Edition.
