1900, from day to day
1900. With other artists, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi and Alexander Scriabin influenced their time (romantic era / modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Aaron Copland, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Tosca” 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 1900 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 380 of these moments for 1900.
