The year 1924 in classical music and in lyrical art
1924. With other artists, Maurice Ravel, Richard Strauss and Jean Sibelius influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Giacomo Puccini. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Rhapsody in Blue” de George Gershwin, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1924 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 400 of these moments for 1924.
