1710. With other artists, Marin Marais, John Gay and Johann Joseph Fux influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
