1821, from day to day
1821. With other artists, Niccolò Paganini, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle and Ludwig van Beethoven influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Pauline Viardot, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Overture, Op. 77, “Der Freischütz”” de Carl Maria von Weber, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1821 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 150 of these moments for 1821.
