  2. History: That year
  3. 1915

The year 1915 in classical music and in lyrical art

1915. With other artists, Gabriel Fauré, Camille Saint-Saëns and Erik Satie influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Alexander Scriabin. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “An Alpine Symphony, Op. 64” de Richard Strauss, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1915 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 1915.
