1678, from day to day
1678. With other artists, Juana Inés de la Cruz, Johann Ambrosius Bach and Jean-Baptiste Lully influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Antonio Vivaldi, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Psyché” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1678 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 30 of these moments for 1678.
