1746, from day to day
1746. With other artists, Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Giuseppe Tartini and Tomaso Albinoni influenced their time (baroque era / classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as William Jones, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Occasional Oratorio” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1746 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 1746.
