  2. History: That year
  3. 1826

The year 1826 in classical music and in lyrical art

1826. With other artists, Vincenzo Bellini, Franz Schubert and Thomas Moore influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Carl Maria von Weber. 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 1826 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 1826.
