1794, from day to day
1794. With other artists, William Jones, Domenico Cimarosa and Antonio Salieri influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as William Jones. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 101 in D major, “Die Uhr”” de Joseph Haydn, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1794 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 80 of these moments for 1794.
