1849, from day to day
1849. With other artists, Mikhail Glinka, Robert Schumann and Johann Strauss I influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Frédéric Chopin. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Luisa Miller” de Giuseppe Verdi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1849 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 1849.
