Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the possibilities of prosody in instrumental musicas an analytical tool. Examining some lyrical themes for orchestra orpiano from Corelli to Mahler, the information which metre and proso-dy reveal about a virtual singing and a virtual text is researched. Topictheory and musical rhetoric are taken as indispensable complementsto this intertextual research, to confirm or nuance the findings. Theauthor has been recollecting examples for years now. Surprisingly,not even new musicology, sensitive to such intersections, had goneinto this field yet.
