Ludwig van Beethoven
Six Great Overtures
in Full Score
The six overtures gathered together in this handy volume are among the most
recorded, performed and studied compositions in the orchestral repertoire. They
offer musicians and music lovers the opportunity to study the genius of Beethoven
in compositions written as preludes to other works, which nevertheless stand on
their own as masterpieces.
The overtures included in this volume are:
Overture to Coriolanus, Op. 62
Leonore Overture No. 1, Op. 138
Leonore Overture No. 2, Op. 72
Leonore Overture No. 3, Op. 72
Overture to Fidelio, Op. 72
Overture to Egmont, Op. 84
Reproduced directly from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel edition, this
inexpensive treasury of scores features large, clear noteheads, wide margins for
notes, analyses, etc., and a sturdy, flexible binding.
Now you can savor the inventive power, mastery of form and intensity of feeling
that characterized all of Beethoven’s music — distilled into the concise and exacting
format of the overture. Best of all, you can enjoy all six overtures in one convenient,
accurate edition — at a remarkably low price.
