1783, from day to day
1783. With other artists, Leopold Mozart, Joseph Haydn and Christoph Willibald von Gluck influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Jean le Rond d'Alembert. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 36 in C major, “Linz”” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1783 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 1783.
