The year 1660 in classical music and in lyrical art
1660. With other artists, Francesco Cavalli, Johann Jakob Froberger and Jean-Baptiste Lully influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Alessandro Scarlatti, while others would disappear.
