Sir John B. McEwen 's Quartet in A, the ' Biscay ', is probably the most frequently played of this composer's string quartets. Although the ' Biscay ' Quartet bears titles for each movement, the composer has not offered any definite programme, but as Spencer Dyke points out, ' there is apparent in every bar the sunny climate of the South of France, the chilly early morn of the “ Dunes ” (as in his " Lone Shore ") and the joie de vivre of the cheery souls who rake the oyster-beds (" Les Racleuses ") in the vicinity, which inspired McEwen in other respects besides composition '.

Beethoven wrote much less for the stage than he had a desire to do. His one opera, Fidelio, that has come down to us does not exhaust his aspirations in that form; he was always anxious to compose others and would have done so could he have found suitable librettos to satisfy both his moral and literary ideals. 
But he did write stage and dramatic incidental music whenever he had the chance, mostly to order. This ballet of Prometheus is an example, an early one. When he came first to Vienna, a ballet master by the name of Vigano, and his wife, Maria Medina , were the favourites of the Viennese public, and being called upon to produce a new ballet in honour of the Empress, offered a commission to write the music to the promising young composer. 
The scenario supplied to Beethoven was an innocuous version of the classic myth, for Prometheus is here represented not as stealing fire from the heavens, but as bringing his statues to life with the aid of dancing, drama, and music.
