1728, from day to day
1728. With other artists, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Marin Marais. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Violin Concerto in C major, Op. 8 No. 12” de Antonio Vivaldi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1728 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 80 of these moments for 1728.
