 Classical Music - Tod und Verklaerung
As the Baroque represented the aural self-glorification of the aristocracy, nineteenth-century "classical music," which lives on in all its glory as the "crystallized music" of Eatock, is the self-glorification of the capitalist class.
The institution of the classical music concert was based economically, of course, on the economic power of the new ruling class, the bourgeoisie.
Yes, there would still be the recordings, and some ill-educated "music lovers" (such as one fellow on a classical music e-mail list I once subscribed to) think that, now that every piece worth listening to has been recorded at least once, it is no longer necessary to pay live musicians exorbitant salaries to perform them.

 What is Early Music?
As a very casual indication, music from the 1400s is early music in the sense which we use here, whereas music from the 1940s is not.
To turn a convoluted phrase, early music is etymologically the music which is earlier than the earliest music which was typically being performed in concerts at the time when performers decided to perform early music.
Precise date-based definitions of the stylistic periods of Western music, and by implication of "early music" in sum, are a rather illusory goal.

If comparing ethnic music with “educated” or “scientific” music means comparing Robert Johnson or Buddy Guy or Pran Nath with academic tone-play, we must judge academic tone-play to be abominably impoverished and dehumanized.  This judgment stands even if the academic tone-play drones or has a beat or borrows other superficial aspects from ethnic music.

 German music
The history of 20th-century classical music in the U.S.A. revolves around a continuous series of attempts to formulate novel and especially American forms of musical expression, in part a struggle against the domination of European classical music and ideas, new or old.
The first, and the most lasting and influential of all specifically American musical developments, was not in the field of `serious' music, but in the development of jazz.
A major feature of American music is the long tradition of maverick experimental composers, from the hymn music of Henry Billings (1746-1800, in whom interest has been revived this century), who wrote an atonal hymn, to John Cage in the present day.

 L. Subramaniam, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
A gifted South Indian counterpart of Jean-Luc Ponty on the electric violin, and endlessly curious about all kinds of music, Subramaniam has been a pioneer in exploring intelligent fusions between European classical music, American jazz, rock, and South Indian music.
He led a group with Coryell, George Duke, and Tom Scott in the 1980s, and recorded several fascinating LPs for Milestone -- including an LP with Stephane Grappelli -- that fused classical music, electric and acoustic jazz, and South Indian music.
His father, a master Indian violinist, and mother, who played the Indian vina, were his first musical influences, and after abandoning a career in medicine, he formed a violin trio with his two brothers while still in India.
