The year 1886 in classical music and in lyrical art
1886. With other artists, Johann Strauss II, Franz Liszt and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Franz Liszt. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Le Carnaval des animaux” de Camille Saint-Saëns, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1886 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 290 of these moments for 1886.
