  2. History: That year
  3. 1721

The year 1721 in classical music and in lyrical art

1721. With other artists, Antonio Vivaldi, John Gay and François Couperin 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 “Muzio Scevola” de George Frideric Handel, for example.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1721 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 30 of these moments for 1721.
