1685, from day to day
1685. With other artists, Samuel Pepys, Johann Pachelbel and Juana Inés de la Cruz influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Roland” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1685 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 90 of these moments for 1685.
