In Italy, a distinct form called "overture" arose in the 1680s, and became established particularly through the operas of Alessandro Scarlatti, and spread throughout Europe, supplanting the French form as the standard operatic overture by the mid-18th century. Its stereotypical form is in three generally homophonic movements: fast–slow–fast. The opening movement was normally in duple metre and in a major key; the slow movement in earlier examples was usually quite short,

The baritone who sang the title role in the centenary performance of "Don Giovanni" in Prague that year was Mariano Padilla y Ramos, the man Désirée Artôt married instead of Tchaikovsky. In addition to instrumental works, allusions to "Don Giovanni" also appear in a number of operas: Nicklausse of Offenbach's "The Tales of Hoffmann" sings a snatch of Leporello's "", and Rossini alludes to the Commendatore's music for Selim's entrance in "Il turco in Italia".

The work adopts the same scheme he used in his other Shakespeare pieces, the fantasy-overture "Romeo and Juliet" (1869, revised 1870 and 1880) and the symphonic fantasy "The Tempest" (1873), in using certain characteristics or emotional situations within the play.

It has also been noted that many stylizations in Joseph Haydn's compositions are similar to those of Sammartini, although Haydn denied any such influence. Sammartini is especially associated with the formation of the concert symphony through both the shift from a brief opera-overture style and the introduction of a new seriousness and use of thematic development that prefigure Haydn and Mozart.
