The year 1752 in classical music and in lyrical art
1752. With other artists, Domenico Scarlatti, George Frideric Handel and Jean le Rond d'Alembert influenced their time (baroque era / classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Muzio Clementi, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Jephtha” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1752 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 1752.
