	Overture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With the rise of dramatic music and the sonata style, the French overture became unsuitable for opera; and Gluck (whose remarks on the function of overtures in the preface to Alceste are historic) based himself on Italian models, of loose texture, which admit of a sweeping and massively contrasted technique.
		Instances of this substitution are Mozart's symphony in G, which is an overture to an unknown opera, and his overtures to Die Entführung and to Lo Sposo deluso, in both of which cases the curtain rises at a point which throws a remarkable dramatic light upon the peculiar form.
		Overtures to plays, such as Ludwig van Beethoven's to Coffin's Coriolan, tend to become detached from their surroundings; and hence arises the concert overture, second only to the symphony in importance as a purely orchestral art-form.

		The operatic French overture was frequently followed by a series of dance tunes before the curtain rose.
		It thus became used as the prelude to a suite; and the Klavierübung French Overture of Johann Sebastian Bach is a case in point, the overture proper being the introduction to a suite of seven dances.
		In Beethoven's hands the overture style and form increased its distinction from that of the symphony, but it no longer remained inferior to it; and the final version of the overture to Leonora (that known as No. 3) is the most gigantic single orchestral movement ever based on.
