  2. History: That year
  3. 1837

The year 1837 in classical music and in lyrical art

1837. With other artists, Gaetano Donizetti, Niccolò Paganini and Robert Schumann influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Mily Balakirev, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Rienzi” de Richard Wagner, for example.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1837 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 1837.
