1804, from day to day
1804. With other artists, Antonio Salieri, Muzio Clementi and Luigi Boccherini influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Mikhail Glinka, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Fidelio, Op. 72” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1804 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 90 of these moments for 1804.
