Background: The full breadth of Arne's development of form and sound is heard here in these Overtures. Composed across some three decades, they show clearly how Arne progressed from the traditional French overture form of the 1730s towards introducing elements of the Italian 'bustling' style, the more 'avant-garde' style of Berlin (empfindsam), and a multitude of dances from minuet, rondeau, hornpipe and at the end of the last overture, an English 'jigg'.
