1670, from day to day
1670. With other artists, Heinrich Schütz, Samuel Pepys and Johann Ambrosius Bach influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Giovanni Bononcini, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1670 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 40 of these moments for 1670.
