Maarten Bauer Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hello, I just discovered the B minor Overture, Op.2 by the Dutch composer Johannes Verhulst. In my opinion, this is a very nice early romantic piece. Score: http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/1/18/IMSLP463684-PMLP752959-Verhulst_Overture_in_B_minor.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It has a faint Beethoven vibe to it, especially when the woodwinds are passing the melody around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Was this Overture based on a specific play or story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done some research, but I haven't found anything about the piece. When Mendelssohn visited Holland, he saw Verhulst's Ouverture and he offered Verhulst to teach him (Verhulst).

bkho Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I agree about the Beethoven influence. Reminds me a little of Beethoven's Egmont Overture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
