1762, from day to day
1762. With other artists, Georg Philipp Telemann, Frederick II of Prussia and Jean-Philippe Rameau influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Constanze Mozart, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 5 in A major” de Joseph Haydn, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1762 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 70 of these moments for 1762.
