Classical music was the only way to create something different in the 18th-20th century. The people had no rights (reigned from a king, supervised from the church) and after the WWI it was done. The destruction was so big, so many people/knowledge died, there was no way to discover something new. After WWi (and WWII) there were the best conductors and orchestras, but from the composing it was more or less done.
The next revolution came with Rock 'n' Roll and the music up to the 80's...
Listening to classic music will be always alive because it is in our cultural roots...but the area from 1950 will live forever, it is a kind of music which touches the soul of the masses and is based in our democratic evolution and independence.
Maybe Computer (Vangelis) music will be dominant in 200 years, who knows..but the touch from the human voice, the singer (singing) itself will never die.
