The year 1868 in classical music and in lyrical art
1868. With other artists, Franz Liszt, Jacques Offenbach and Bedřich Smetana influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Gioachino Rossini. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Mastersingers of Nuremberg” de Richard Wagner, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1868 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 280 of these moments for 1868.
