1802. With other artists, Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn and E. T. A. Hoffmann influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Charles Auguste de Bériot, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, Op. 47, “Kreutzer”” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1802 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 90 of these moments for 1802.
