1876, from day to day
1876. With other artists, Giuseppe Verdi, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Bedřich Smetana influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Pau Casals, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Swan Lake, Op. 20” de Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1876 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 300 of these moments for 1876.
