overture
Significado: An orchestral composition played as an introduction to an opera, ballet, or musical; an initial approach or proposal made to someone with the aim of opening negotiations.
In music, the overture introduces the main themes and sets the mood for what follows. Concert overtures are standalone works not attached to a larger piece. In its figurative sense, overture refers to a preliminary approach or gesture — 'peace overtures,' 'overtures of friendship.' The plural 'overtures' is particularly common in diplomatic and business contexts.
