1815, from day to day
1815. With other artists, Ludwig van Beethoven, E. T. A. Hoffmann and Aleksander Griboyedov influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Giuseppina Strepponi, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Barber of Seville” de Gioachino Rossini, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1815 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 180 of these moments for 1815.
