Vorspiel

Japanese: Vorspiel
Vorspiel

…In the 19th century French operettas, overtures in the form of potpourri were created by connecting melodies from opera arias. WR Wagner adopted the term Vorspiel (prelude) to mean the prelude to each act in place of overture in his music dramas after Lohengrin (1848). Other works with this name were written for theatrical music, festivals, or concerts, including Beethoven's Egmont Overture, the Naming Festivities Overture, Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream Overture, Brahms' Academic Festival Overture, Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, and Dvorak's Carnival Overture Trilogy. …

From "Prelude"

...an instrumental piece of music that serves as an introduction to a play, opera, suite, etc. It is a translation of the English and French prelude and the German Vorspiel. There is no set format, but the structure and scale vary depending on the purpose.
