1806, from day to day
1806. With other artists, Muzio Clementi, Antonio Salieri and Luigi Cherubini influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Michael Haydn. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, “Eroica”” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1806 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 1806.
