The year 1909 in classical music and in lyrical art
1909. With other artists, Erik Satie, Alexander Scriabin and Camille Saint-Saëns 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 Isaac Albéniz. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “La fanciulla del West” 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 1909 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 1909.
