1773. With other artists, Christoph Willibald von Gluck, Leopold Mozart and Johann Christian Bach influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Johann Joachim Quantz. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 25 in G minor” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1773 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 100 of these moments for 1773.
