1748, from day to day
1748. With other artists, Tomaso Albinoni, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Georg Philipp Telemann influenced their time (baroque era / classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Christian Gottlob Neefe, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Joshua” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1748 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 1748.
