The year 1834 in classical music and in lyrical art
1834. With other artists, Felix Mendelssohn, France Prešeren liam je gey and Gaetano Donizetti influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Amilcare Ponchielli, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Songs without words, Book 2, Opp. 30” de Felix Mendelssohn, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1834 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 1834.
