1786, from day to day
1786. With other artists, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Christoph Willibald von Gluck and John Wesley influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Frederick II of Prussia. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Marriage of Figaro” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1786 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 1786.
