1738, from day to day
1738. With other artists, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Giuseppe Tartini and Georg Philipp Telemann 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 Turlough O'Carolan. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Serse” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1738 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 1738.
