  2. History: That year
  3. 1718

The year 1718 in classical music and in lyrical art

1718. With other artists, Alessandro Scarlatti, John Gay and Leonardo Vinci influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Acis and Galatea (masque)” de George Frideric Handel, for example.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1718 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 60 of these moments for 1718.
