The year 1918 in classical music and in lyrical art

1918. With other artists, Camille Saint-Saëns, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Edward Elgar influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Claude Debussy. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Gianni Schicchi” 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 1918 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 330 of these moments for 1918.
