1731, from day to day
1731. With other artists, Georg Philipp Telemann, Domenico Scarlatti and Tomaso Albinoni influenced their time (baroque era / classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Bartolomeo Cristofori. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Concerto for 2 violins in D minor, “Doppelkonzert”” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1731 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 40 of these moments for 1731.
