Beethoven’s “Coriolan” overture was composed in 1807. Whether the work was originally intended as a concert overture or for the stage has not been clarified to this day. The work was first performed at the Palais Lobkowitz and it was the Lobkowitz family who played a decisive role in the transmission of the sources.

For this new edition, Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar incorporates various manuscript sources, including a handwritten set of parts that has never been considered before. As a result, numerous discrepancies could be clarified.
