  2. History: That year
  3. 1919

The year 1919 in classical music and in lyrical art

1919. With other artists, Camille Saint-Saëns, Edward Elgar and Gabriel Fauré influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Ruggero Leoncavallo. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Love for Three Oranges, Op. 33” de Sergei Prokofiev, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1919 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 340 of these moments for 1919.
