The year 1884 in classical music and in lyrical art
1884. With other artists, Bedřich Smetana, Franz Liszt and Edvard Grieg influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Bedřich Smetana. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Otello” de Giuseppe Verdi, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1884 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 320 of these moments for 1884.
