Leonore No. 3 is well known for portraying some of the major events of the plot in a condensed, purely orchestral form, most notably the distant trumpet fanfares of the finale. Next to the actual, finalized Fidelio overture, this is the most commonly performed version, and still sometimes replaces the Fidelio overture in some productions.

The two keyboard works are among the few Bach published, and he prepared the lute suite for a "Monsieur Schouster", presumably for a fee, so all three may attest to the form's popularity.
