The year 1793 in classical music and in lyrical art
1793. With other artists, Luigi Boccherini, François -André Danican Philidor and Giovanni Paisiello influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Pietro Nardini. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “3 Piano Sonatas, Opp. 2” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1793 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 80 of these moments for 1793.
