1788, from day to day
1788. With other artists, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Luigi Boccherini and Joseph Haydn influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 40 in G minor” 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 1788 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 110 of these moments for 1788.
