The year 1747 in classical music and in lyrical art
1747. With other artists, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Georg Philipp Telemann 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 Giovanni Bononcini. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Musical Offering” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1747 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1747.
