Thank you for viewing.

Of the four overtures Beethoven composed for his only opera, Leonore Overture No. 3 is the most popular. While early critics found fault with its incessant dissonance and excessive violin flutterings (Wiener Theater-Zeitung, 1806), it soon became renowned as one of the most imposing, difficult, yet richest and strangest works (Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung, 1810). This version of the Leonore Overture rapidly established itself independently from the opera stage in the concert hall, securing a permanent place in the symphonic repertoire.

The editors have dedicated themselves to the complex origins of the various Leonore Overture versions, particularly addressing the question of whether the trumpet calls in measures 272-277 and 294-299 should be played by one instrument or two. This edition is based on the complete edition of the Works of Ludwig van Beethoven published by G. Henle Verlag.
