ResumoThis article discusses Leopoldo Miguez’s symphonic poem Prometheus , op. 21 and its programmatic and structural aspects. Firstly, it addresses the programme, where the central character is Prometheus, and its representation in the music. Secondly, structural aspects of the work are observed as an adapted sonata form. Finally, it briefly discusses the changes to the sonata form introduced by Franz Liszt, as well as aspects of the composer’s musical language that suggest an influence by Richard Wagner’s music.
