The year 1829 in classical music and in lyrical art
1829. With other artists, Thomas Moore, Gaetano Donizetti and Pedro I of Brazil influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Aleksander Griboyedov. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “William Tell” de Gioachino Rossini, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1829 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 130 of these moments for 1829.
