1803, from day to day
1803. With other artists, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven and Antonio Salieri influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Hector Berlioz, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, “Eroica”” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1803 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 1803.
