The year 1827 in classical music and in lyrical art
1827. With other artists, Niccolò Paganini, Pedro I of Brazil and Franz Schubert influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Ludwig van Beethoven. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, “Eine kleine Nachtmusik”” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1827 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 170 of these moments for 1827.
