The year 1767 in classical music and in lyrical art
1767. With other artists, John Wesley, Georg Philipp Telemann and Frederick II of Prussia influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Georg Philipp Telemann. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Messiah” de George Frideric Handel, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1767 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 80 of these moments for 1767.
