1831, from day to day
1831. With other artists, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, Gaetano Donizetti and Thomas Moore influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Joseph Joachim, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Nocturne, Opp. 15” de Frédéric Chopin, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1831 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 1831.
