1922, from day to day
1922. With other artists, Richard Strauss, Maurice Ravel and Giacomo Puccini influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Iannis Xenakis, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Mavra” de Igor Stravinsky, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1922 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 340 of these moments for 1922.
