The year 1714 in classical music and in lyrical art
1714. With other artists, Jan Dismas Zelenka, Antonio Vivaldi and Tomaso Albinoni influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Christoph Willibald von Gluck, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1714 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1714.
