1805. With other artists, Antonio Salieri, Luigi Boccherini and Lorenzo Da da Ponte influenced their time (classical era / romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Luigi Boccherini. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Fidelio, Op. 72” de Ludwig van Beethoven, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1805 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 1805.
