1709, from day to day
1709. With other artists, Giovanni Bononcini, Marin Marais and François Couperin influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Giuseppe Torelli. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Agrippina” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1709 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 60 of these moments for 1709.
