The year 1711 in classical music and in lyrical art

1711. With other artists, François Couperin, Arcangelo Corelli and John Gay influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as William Boyce, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Rinaldo” de George Frideric Handel, for example.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1711 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 1711.
