1936, from day to day
1936. With other artists, Béla Bartók, Sergei Prokofiev and Jean Sibelius influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Zubin Mehta, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Peter and the Wolf, Op. 67” 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 1936 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 1936.
