1742, from day to day
1742. With other artists, Giuseppe Tartini, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Johann Stamitz 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 Evaristo Felice dall'Dall'Abaco. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Messiah” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1742 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 1742.
