This Concert Overture was written in 1836, when its composer, aged twenty, was still a student at the Royal Academy of Music, to which it bears a dedication. In the same year, on the invitation of Mendelssohn (then conductor of the famous Gewandhaus concerts), who had met him in England, Bennett went to Leipzig. where the work had its first performance, Schumann, who was also at Leipzig, agreed with Mendelssohn in promising the rosiest future for Bennett. Unfortunately, Bennett only developed to a certain point, and then, immersed in teaching, ceased to compose. Nevertheless, he left some beautiful things that are too much neglected to-day
