a un son dantesco
More vaudevillian lyrics, based on the spider theme:
Víctima tengo porque me ofrezco,
toda yo, toda, sin otras mañas;
a veces yerro, y me estremezco
al sentir roto, a un son dantesco,
el hilo tenue de mis entrañas!
Mil Gracias,
Barbara

in a Dantesque way / manner/ style
4. m. Tenor, modo o manera. A este son. Por este son.

So here, "son" is not a musical term but a dated word for "way" or "manner" (see the example provided by the Spanish Royal Academy, "a este son".)
| Thank you. Very helpful. |

ormiston
: Why not simplify it to " Dante style"? The word 'Dantesque' sounds a little odd in context.

just like Dante/a la Dante
| I think your translation is the correct register, because, after all, this song is being sung as part of a vaudeville show, and is not an academic discourse on Dante. |
