  2. History: That year
  3. 1929

The year 1929 in classical music and in lyrical art

1929. With other artists, Béla Bartók, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Arnold Schoenberg influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Jerry Goldsmith, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Boléro, Op. 81” de Maurice Ravel, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1929 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 380 of these moments for 1929.
