Description: Bologne’s Opus 1 quartets all display a similarity to the Italian opera overtures from earlier in the century (often called “sinfonia”) in that they have an overall “A-B-A” form with the ‘A’ sections being robust allegros and all ‘B’ sections marked “rondo.” As such, in arranging the Op. 1 No. 3 quartet for string orchestra it seemed quite natural to rename it “overture.”
