1906, from day to day
1906. With other artists, Camille Saint-Saëns, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Erik Satie influenced their time (romantic era / modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Dmitri Shostakovich, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 6 in A minor, “Tragische Sinfonie”” de Gustav Mahler, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1906 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 310 of these moments for 1906.
