The year 1875 in classical music and in lyrical art
1875. With other artists, Franz Liszt, Jacques Offenbach and Bedřich Smetana influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Maurice Ravel, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Carmen” de Georges Bizet, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1875 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 340 of these moments for 1875.
