1817, from day to day
1817. With other artists, Carl Maria von Weber, Antonio Salieri and Franz Schubert influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Niels Gade, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Overture, Op. 77, “Der Freischütz”” de Carl Maria von Weber, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1817 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 1817.
