Events

• In gratitude for the generous support from the cardinal and patron of the arts Benedetto Pamphili , Arcangelo Corelli dedicates his 12 trio sonatas da camera op. 2, which he composed this year, to him.
• When it became publicly known that Jean-Baptiste Lully had an affair with a page and took part in the orgies of the Dukes of Orléans and Vendôme , he fell out of favor with Louis XIV .

• The Saxon Elector Johann Georg III. heard the famous soprano Margherita Salicola and the castrato Domenico Cecchi, known as "il Cortona", in Carlo Pallavicino's opera Penelope la casta (libretto: Matteo Noris ) on his journey to Venice in Carnival 1685 . Johann Georg lets all three musicians (singers and composers) go to Dresden to revive Italian opera there.
