1687, from day to day
1687. With other artists, Arcangelo Corelli, Dietrich Buxtehude and Johann Pachelbel influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Jean-Baptiste Lully. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Achille et Polyxène” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1687 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 60 of these moments for 1687.
