{"product_id":"overture-no-1-for-the-opera-leonore-henle-study-scores","title":"Overture No. 1 for the Opera Leonore","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeethoven wrote a total of four overtures for his only opera, “Leonore”\/“Fidelio”. The so-called Leonore Overture no. 1 is third in the series by chronology, having been written in 1806\/07 for a performance in Prague that never materialised. For a long while it was erroneously regarded as a predecessor to the Leonore Overture no. 2 that Beethoven discarded, which greatly tarnished its reception. And yet it pays off to take an impartial look at this overture, which is substantially shorter than nos. 2 and 3, since with its more lyrical than dramatic character, it casts a new light on Beethoven's struggle to find the ideal opening to his stage work. Featuring a new preface, it now appears as a study edition prepared on the basis of the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53494418669886,"sku":"51489044","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/51489044_1.jpg?v=1778758755","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/overture-no-1-for-the-opera-leonore-henle-study-scores","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
