The article states, "the final version of the overture to Leonora (that known as No. 3) is the most gigantic single orchestral movement ever based on the sonata style." I can't come up with any interpretation of this statement that makes sense. The first movement of "Eroica" is longer, and if you look later than Leonora #3, you also get the first movement of the Ninth, never mind the massive sonata structures of Mahler (e.g. Symphony #3:I). I can't correct the sentence without knowing what was intended. 71.119.192.125 05:18, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Does this mean that these films start with a bit of music over a black screen, with nothing else happening at all (no credits, no establishing shots, nothing at all)? (I know 2001 does, but I've not seen the others.) If so, we should probably make that clearer. -- Camembert

I am going to delete the trivia section of this article. All video games have introductory audio tracks; simply because that track is entitled "overture" does not make its game notable. Mbkatz 11:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
um... actually I think maybe for the trivia section we should insert something about who plays the overture and where they sit 79.66.59.150 ( talk) 19:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Why in God's name is "presaged@ in the first sentence, and what is it supposed to mean, presaging a genre? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.32.66 ( talk) 19:36, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Why is the lead restricted to opera? It's often the opening of a (dance) suite, sometimes even a synonym for them. Mention ballet? Incidental music? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:33, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Why is this the case? If we know and freely acknowledge that Weber beat him to the punch, so to speak, why do we still say Mendelssohn was the first to write a concert overture? -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 02:02, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
