1715, from day to day
1715. With other artists, François Couperin, Antonio Vivaldi and Leonardo Vinci influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Georg Christoph Wagenseil, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Der Himmel lacht! Die Erde jubilieret” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1715 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 60 of these moments for 1715.
