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.
