Abstract

This paper aims to expose and analyze the mythological context of the musical composition Marsias against Apollo, for solo flute, in its relationship with the techniques and musical elements used in the composition. Thus, we will try to expose first the Greek myth that involves the heart of the composition, then the relationship of this myth with the most essential musical elements, and, finally, how these elements were then developed.
