1866, from day to day
1866. With other artists, Giuseppe Verdi, Gioachino Rossini and Franz Liszt influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Erik Satie, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Op. 314” de Johann Strauss II, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1866 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 270 of these moments for 1866.
