1917, from day to day
1917. With other artists, Edward Elgar, Erik Satie and Camille Saint-Saëns influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Scott Joplin. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “La rondine” 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 1917 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 280 of these moments for 1917.
