1912, from day to day
1912. With other artists, Camille Saint-Saëns, Ruggero Leoncavallo and Edward Elgar influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as John Cage, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major, “Sinfonie der Tausend”” de Gustav Mahler, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1912 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 320 of these moments for 1912.
