The year 1727 in classical music and in lyrical art
1727. With other artists, François Couperin, Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Francesco Gasparini. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “St. Matthew Passion” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1727 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 1727.
