1770, from day to day
1770. With other artists, Christoph Willibald von Gluck, John Wesley and Jean le Rond d'Alembert influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Ludwig van Beethoven, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Mitridate, Re di Ponto” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1770 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 90 of these moments for 1770.
