Prometheus in sound : one hundred years of musical adaptations of the myth of Prometheus: Beethoven, Shubert, Liszt, Wolf, Parry, Fauré and Scriabin

The Promethean characteristics of contemporary young iconoclasts as they have expressed disapproval of the society which they have inherited and in which they feel entrapped prompted this study. Our interest here lies with the nature of the dissatisfaction rather than with ways of expressing it. If follows that out concern is primarily with the gift of Prometheus - the fire rather than with the rebellion and defiance associated with the demigod who took action against the tyranny of Zeus.
