The year 1751 in classical music and in lyrical art
1751. With other artists, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Alphonsus Maria de Liguori and John Wesley 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 Tomaso Albinoni. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Choice of Hercules” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1751 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 1751.
