The year 1899 in classical music and in lyrical art
1899. With other artists, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Giacomo Puccini and Giuseppe Verdi influenced their time (romantic era / modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Johann Strauss II. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Flight of the Bumblebee” de Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1899 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 290 of these moments for 1899.
