The year 1771 in classical music and in lyrical art
1771. With other artists, Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, Alphonsus Maria de Liguori and François-André Danican Philidor influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Ferdinando Paer, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Ascanio in Alba” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1771 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 70 of these moments for 1771.
