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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Overture   (1018 words)

Overture Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) 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. www.wikiwhat.com /encyclopedia/o/ov/overture.html   (1044 words)

Leonore Overture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Beethoven’s struggle to settle on a suitable overture is symptomatic of the problem with the opera as a whole. The Overture No.3 was a superbly dramatic piece of music, but it gave away too much of the opera, and (as you will hear) can stand on its symphonic merits alone. The overture is almost too evocative of the plot details to make a good overture, but is certainly makes for good music. www.manchester.edu /Academics/Departments/Music/symphony/files/files_2001_2/leonora_10_01.htm   (474 words)

In many 19th-century operas and 20th-century musicals the overture is simply a potpourri of the work’s tunes. The concert overture, a composition in one movement that may be in any of a variety of styles, arose in the 19th cent.; the overtures of Brahms, Mendelssohn, and Beethoven are outstanding. www.bartleby.com /65/ov/overture.html   (204 words)
