1800. With other artists, Joseph Haydn, Luigi Boccherini and Muzio Clementi influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as France Prešeren, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1800 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 150 of these moments for 1800.
