The year 1706 in classical music and in lyrical art
1706. With other artists, Alessandro Scarlatti, Giuseppe Torelli and Arcangelo Corelli influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Johann Pachelbel. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Pièces de clavecin I : premier livre, "suite" en la” de Jean-Philippe Rameau, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1706 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 40 of these moments for 1706.
