1712, from day to day
1712. With other artists, Arcangelo Corelli, Marin Marais and Alessandro Scarlatti influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Frederick II of Prussia, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “12 Violin Concertos, Opp. 4, “La stravaganza”” de Antonio Vivaldi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1712 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 1712.
