  2. History: That year
  3. 1785

The year 1785 in classical music and in lyrical art

1785. With other artists, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Luigi Boccherini influenced their time (classical era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Baldassare Galuppi. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Marriage of Figaro” de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1785 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 100 of these moments for 1785.
