Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to try for the first time to pay attention to the genre of the solo cantata, as an independent and significant among the group of cantata genres, to comprehend its functioning among composers of the classical style and record the changes in the parameters of its genre invariant. The methodology is to use analytical, comparative, and historical methods. These methodological approaches allow us to compare and disclose the peculiarities of the transformation of the genre invariant of the solo cantata in the Baroque and classical style using the example of the work of Viennese classics in general and in the works of V. A. Mozart in particular. The scientific novelty consists in identifying the genre parameters of the classical style characteristic of the solo cantata and comparing them with the parameters of the baroque cantata. Conclusions. Due to the detailed study and analysis of numerous solo cantatas of the baroque and classical styles, particular parameters of the invariant were identified, which qualitatively distinguish the solo cantata from other samples of the cantata genre. Consequently, on the basis of the conducted research, the parameters of the genre invariant inherent in the baroque solo cantata were discovered in the era of classical style and the reasons for its transformations on the example of the cantatas works of the Viennese classics in general and the cantata of VA Mozart, in particular, were outlined.
