1688, from day to day
1688. With other artists, Dietrich Buxtehude, Juana Inés de la Cruz and Arcangelo Corelli influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Domenico Zipoli, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Dido and Aeneas” de Henry Purcell, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1688 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1688.
