1898, from day to day
1898. With other artists, Claude Debussy, Johann Strauss II and Giuseppe Verdi influenced their time (romantic era / modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as George Gershwin, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Tosca” de Giacomo Puccini, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1898 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 290 of these moments for 1898.
