1734, from day to day
1734. With other artists, Georg Philipp Telemann, Domenico Scarlatti and Tomaso Albinoni influenced their time (baroque era / classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as François Joseph Gossec, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1734 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1734.
