The '''' was written for
bass voice in the
key of
B major, but the key moves repeatedly through various
major to minor tonalities, ending in
C major. Goethe's dramatic declamation by
Prometheus would be set again, with very different effect, by
Hugo Wolf, "with his alternations of
ariosos and
recitatives, Schubert created a miniature
oratorio", observes Edward F. Kravitt. Among many other '''' by Schubert,
Max Reger also created an
orchestration for "Prometheus". ==Recordings==
