1737, from day to day
1737. With other artists, Georg Philipp Telemann, Domenico Scarlatti and Jean-Philippe Rameau influenced their time (baroque era / classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Antonio Stradivari. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Castor et Pollux” de Jean-Philippe Rameau, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1737 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1737.
