1871, from day to day
1871. With other artists, Johann Strauss II, Bedřich Smetana and Franz Liszt influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Daniel François Esprit Auber. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Aida” 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 1871 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 1871.
