1914, from day to day
1914. With other artists, Maurice Ravel, Camille Saint-Saëns and Erik Satie influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Boris Christoff, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Wozzeck, Op. 7” de Alban Berg, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1914 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 320 of these moments for 1914.
