The year 1824 in classical music and in lyrical art
1824. With other artists, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, Vincenzo Bellini and Carl Maria von Weber influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Bedřich Smetana, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1824 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 160 of these moments for 1824.
