1724, from day to day
1724. With other artists, Tomaso Albinoni, George Frideric Handel and Domenico Scarlatti influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Maria Antonia Walpurgis of Bavaria, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Giulio Cesare” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1724 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 1724.
