1820, from day to day
1820. With other artists, Ludwig van Beethoven, Niccolò Paganini and Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Jenny Lind, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Maometto secondo” de Gioachino Rossini, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1820 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 150 of these moments for 1820.
