1692, from day to day
1692. With other artists, Samuel Pepys, Juana Inés de la Cruz and Giuseppe Torelli influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Giuseppe Tartini, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Fairy-Queen” de Henry Purcell, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1692 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 40 of these moments for 1692.
