Ludwig van Beethoven:
Leonore Overture No. 3
for Orchestra
URTEXT
Edited by Helga Lühning
Of the four overtures that Beethoven composed for his only opera,
the “Leonore Overture” No. 3 is the most popular. The first reviewer
found fault with it for its “incessant dissonances and overblown
fluttering of the violins” (Wiener Theater-Zeitung, 1806), but it soon
became famous as “one of the most imposing, difficult, yet richest
and strangest of compositions” (Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung,
1810). This version of the “Leonore Overture” quickly established itself
independently of the stage in the concert hall and has found a lasting
place in the symphonic repertoire.
The editor has devoted herself to the complex genesis of the various
“Leonore Overture” versions, in particular the question whether the
trumpet call in measures 272–277 and 294–299 should be played by
one or two instruments. The edition is based on the Complete Edition
of the “Works of Ludwig van Beethoven” issued by the G. Henle
publishing company.
