Genre: Orchestral Song
Composer: Beethoven
Title: Leonore-Overture No. 1 op. 138
Third overture for opera "Fidelio"
In the spring of 1806, Beethoven cuts a few songs to the second act, following the advice of his friends. This is the second edition, with a two-stroke libretto written by Stephan von Breuning. Beethoven wrote a new overture for this new edition, which is the Leonore Overture Op. 72a. This work is also premiered on March 29, 1806 in Theater an der Wien. The title of the work at that time was "Leonore oder der Triumph der ehelichen Liebe" (Leonore or the victory of married love). Despite Beethoven 's efforts, however, this second premiere is no more than the first one, and Beethoven goes down with the theater manager and quits after two performances.
In 1807 there will be a chance to upload this work again in Prague, so Beethoven will again write a new overture for this, Leonolé Overture # 1. This work has long been known to be the oldest of the four overtures. But the plans for the show in Prague are going to go haywire.
The first edition of "Fidelio" Libretto was written in German, but Joseph Ferdinand von Sonnleithner (he worked as a secretary at the Emperor's Court) translated the original into German and wrote "Fidelio"
Based on this script, Beethoven completed his composition in the summer of 1805, but on November 20, 1805, he premiered at the Theater an der Wien. At that time, two weeks after the premiere, the French army led by Napoleon was forced to come to the bin, so many bin music enthusiasts had already evacuated from Vienna and the opera had to be performed only three times do.
The name of the work at the theater was "Fidelio oder die eheliche Liebe", but Beethoven wanted to call it "Leonore" like the original, instead of Fidelio. The overture used in this case was named as No. 2, but it was the first to be composed, which is Leonor Overture 2.
In the spring of 1806, Beethoven cuts out several songs in accordance with the advice of his friends. This is the second edition, with a two-stroke libretto written by Stephan von Breuning. Beethoven wrote a new overture for this new edition, which is the Leonore Overture Op. 72a. This work is also premiered on March 29, 1806 in Theater an der Wien. The title of the work at that time was "Leonore oder der Triumph der ehelichen Liebe" (Leonore or the victory of married love). Despite Beethoven 's efforts, however, this second premiere is less than the first, and Beethoven goes down with the theater manager and ends up on stage after the second performance.
In 1807, there will be an opportunity to post this work again in Prague, so Beethoven will again write a new overture for it. Leonore Overture Op. 1 op. 138 is that. This work has long been known to be the oldest of the four overtures. But the plans for the show in Prague are in vain.
