Die diebische Elster / The Thieving Magpie
Ouvertüre / Overture

During Rossini’s second creative period (around 1813 to 1817) his inclination increased, to borrow musical material from earlier works, when time could not have been responsible. While there is the increased occurrence of self-borrowing, Rossini, at the same time, commenced more and more to use themes from an opera in the overture in order to link them more closely. The overture to “La gazza ladra” (“The Thieving Magpie”) is the most striking example of Rossini’s new approach, as in character and thematic references it is so intimately related to the opera as to be programmatic. The plain contrast between martial themes and lyrical sections immediately captures the dramatic core of the opera.
