1777, from day to day
1777. With other artists, Frederick II of Prussia, Leopold Mozart and John Wesley influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Maksym Berezovsky. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat major, “Jeune homme”” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1777 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 1777.
