1690, from day to day
1690. With other artists, Arcangelo Corelli, Juana Inés de la Cruz and Samuel Pepys influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Leonardo Vinci, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Prophetess or The History of Dioclesian or Dioclesian” de Henry Purcell, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1690 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 70 of these moments for 1690.
