1916, from day to day
1916. With other artists, Pietro Mascagni, Edward Elgar and Gabriel Fauré influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Yehudi Menuhin, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Ariadne auf Naxos, Op. 60” de Richard Strauss, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1916 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 1916.
