1691, from day to day
1691. With other artists, Dietrich Buxtehude, Giuseppe Torelli and Henry Purcell influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “King Arthur or The British Worthy” de Henry Purcell, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1691 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 1691.
