  2. History: That year
  3. 1879

The year 1879 in classical music and in lyrical art

1879. With other artists, Franz Liszt, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Jacques Offenbach influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Alma Mahler, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Eugene Onegin, Op. 24” 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 1879 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 310 of these moments for 1879.
