  • January: Scarlatti's new operas Teodosio and L'Amor volubile e tiranno are premiered in Naples.

Domenico Scarlatti

Georg Philipp Telemann

  • October: Georg Philipp Telemann marries Amalie Luise Juliane Eberlin, a lady-in-waiting of the Countess von Promnitz and daughter of the composer Daniel Eberlin .

Other events

  • Giuseppe Matteo Alberti becomes violinist in the "cappella musicale" at the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna .
  • Tomaso Albinoni's father dies in January . At this point in time, Albinoni had already decided to stop practicing the profession of playing card maker and to devote himself entirely to music. The paternal company is therefore passed on to his two younger brothers Domenico (1675–1726) and Giovanni (1679–1718). Since that time he has referred to himself as Musico di violino on the title pages of his printed works .
  • Emanuele d'Astorga goes to Genoa with Domenico Lalli . Since he suffers from a shortage of money, he intends to improve his fortune by performing an opera there and composes the opera Dafni for this purpose . In the following years Astorga stays with Lalli in Mantua and Venice. At the end of the year Astorga went to Spain, as he was invited by the heir to the throne Karl (later Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Charles VI ), who was impressed by the Dafni opera .
  • Johann Adam Birkenstock gets a job in the Kassel court orchestra.
  • Arcangelo Corelli is increasingly withdrawing from the public for health reasons and dedicates himself to the composition and revision of his 12 Concerti grossi op.6 .
  • The Landgrave Ernst Ludwig of Hesse-Darmstadt hear the works of Christoph Graupner , offering him a position in his court at. As early as 1711 he became court conductor there.

Foundations
