For his only opera "Leonore" / "Fidelio" Beethoven wrote a total of four overtures. The so-called Leonore Overture No. 2 is chronologically the first of the series and was created in 1805 for the premiere of the opera in Vienna. It follows the concept of a summary of the essential moments of the subsequent stage work and dispenses with a formal rounding-off by means of a resumption of exposure. Rather, the twice-sounding trumpet signal, which indicates in the opera the solution to the conflict, leads directly to the transfer to the coda. The overture now appears as a study edition based on the score of the Beethoven Complete Edition with a new preface.
