The year 1717 in classical music and in lyrical art
1717. With other artists, Tomaso Albinoni, Antonio Vivaldi and Marin Marais influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Water Music” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1717 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 90 of these moments for 1717.
