1816, from day to day
1816. With other artists, Franz Schubert, 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, while others would disappear such as Giovanni Paisiello. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Barber of Seville” de Gioachino Rossini, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1816 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 140 of these moments for 1816.
