The year 1834 in classical music and in lyrical art
1834. With other artists, France Prešeren, Felix Mendelssohn and Gaetano Donizetti influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Pedro I of Brazil. 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.
