The year 1807 in classical music and in lyrical art
1807. With other artists, Luigi Cherubini, Antonio Salieri and Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle 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 Duchess Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1807 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 1807.
