Prométhée, Leopoldo Miguéz ́s third symphonic poem

This article describes and contextualizes Prométhée, Leopoldo Miguéz ́s third symphonic poem. As an admirer of Wagner, who defended the continuity of the symphony in the esthetics of the musical drama, and of Liszt, who conceived the symphonic poem around the 1850s, Miguéz adopted stylistic/esthetic aspects of the so called New German School. Based on ROSEN (1986;1998), VALOZ JUNIOR (2002), DUDEQUE (2013), among others, the present study aims to demonstrate the remarkable ability of the composer in the realization of the work from the perspective of the chosen argument.
