1814, from day to day
1814. With other artists, Luigi Cherubini, Muzio Clementi 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, such as Adolphe Sax, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Turk in Italy” de Gioachino Rossini, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1814 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 130 of these moments for 1814.
