1919, from day to day
1919. With other artists, Camille Saint-Saëns, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Edward Elgar influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Ruggero Leoncavallo. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Love for Three Oranges, Op. 33” de Sergei Prokofiev, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1919 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 350 of these moments for 1919.
