1811, from day to day
1811. With other artists, Ludwig van Beethoven, Lorenzo da Da Ponte and E. T. A. Hoffmann influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Franz Liszt, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1811 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 120 of these moments for 1811.
