1760, from day to day
1760. With other artists, Frederick II of Prussia, Jean-Philippe Rameau and John Wesley influenced their time (baroque era / classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Les Paladins” de Jean-Philippe Rameau, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1760 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 90 of these moments for 1760.
