Overtures, or proposals, are formal suggestions or plans put forward for consideration. They are often used in various contexts, such as business negotiations, diplomatic discussions, or artistic collaborations. An overture aims to initiate dialogue and explore potential agreements or partnerships. In the context of music, an overture can also refer to an introductory piece that sets the stage for a larger work, such as an opera or ballet. This musical overture serves to engage the audience and provide a thematic preview of the performance that follows.
