1880, from day to day
1880. With other artists, Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Antonín Dvořák influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Jacques Offenbach. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “1812 Overture, Op. 49” 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 1880 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 360 of these moments for 1880.
