1841 in music

Events

  • April 13 – The first Dresden opera house in Germany opens with the performance of a work by Carl Maria von Weber.
  • Robert Schumann writes two symphonies: Symphony No. 1 in B-flat major, opus 38 (also called the "Spring" symphony), and Symphony No. 4 in D minor, opus 120. (The D-minor symphony is edited extensively by Schumann in 1851, and thus is given a much later opus number and subsequently referred to as No. 4, although it is actually his second.)
  • Tenor Domenico Donzelli retires from the stage.
  • Nikolay Afanas'yev resigns as concertmaster of the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra in order to conduct the serf orchestra of a wealthy landowner at Vïksa, near St Petersburg.

gollark: If websites can display images off the local disk with `file:///` URLs and the like, find image files on disk by randomly generating plausible image file names (lots are like `IMG_20210304.jpg` so quite guessable), and seeing if they load right.
