1890, from day to day
1890. With other artists, Antonín Dvořák, Anton Bruckner and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov influenced their time (romantic era / modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Carlos Gardel, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Manon Lescaut” de Giacomo Puccini, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1890 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 1890.
