Oberon overture
The Pastoral is not an overture. Beethoven wrote Symphony no. 6 in F major, also known as the Pastoral Symphony, in 1808. The Egmont Overture Op 84 is one of a series of pieces composed between October 1809 and June 1810. The Prometheus Overture Op 43 precedes the Prometheus Ballet, and was written in 1801. The Coriolan Overture Op 62 was written in 1807.
An overture is a work that introduces a larger work, usually an opera. In the Baroque period composers such as JS Bach wrote overtures for their suites. In the Classical period, overtures were played before the rise of the curtain in an opera. More recently, overtures have been performed as standalone pieces in a concert.
