The fifth of Liszt"s revolutionary series of thirteen symphonic poems, "Prometheus" started life in 1850 as a dramatic cantata for chorus and orchestra set to Johann Gottfried Herder"s "Der entfesselte Prometheus" Liszt subsequently extended and reorchestrated the overture into the symphonic poem and conducted its premiere in Braunschweig on 18 October 1855. This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann in the third volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition, published in 1909. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.
