The year 1823 in classical music and in lyrical art
1823. With other artists, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, Antonio Salieri and Vincenzo Bellini influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Edouard Lalo, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Die Schöne Müllerin” de Franz Schubert, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1823 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 150 of these moments for 1823.
