1846, from day to day
1846. With other artists, France Prešeren, Gioachino Rossini and Hector Berlioz influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Francesco Paolo Tosti, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Attila” de Giuseppe Verdi, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1846 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 210 of these moments for 1846.
