1771, from day to day
1771. With other artists, Johann Christian Bach, Leopold Mozart and Frederick II of Prussia influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Ferdinando Paer, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Ascanio in Alba” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1771 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 1771.
