No, any "program" can have program notes. You can go to any type of concert or performance and if someone hands you a program with background info or stuff about the performers.. WHALA there you go. you have program notes. So no, program notes are not restricted only to Classical Music.
The term classical refers to music that is performed only in symphonies.
Early trumpets had no valves, so they could only play a very limited set of notes. They only had a wider variety of notes as they played higher and higher (which is why trumpet music from the Baroque and Classical periods is so high).
no
Classical music started hundreds of years ago while pop music started only decades ago.
classical music like Beethoven's 9th symphony
Yes. Totally. Classical music only though. Yah.
Back when music was first played in a classical way, not many people knew about it. Eventually, more people discovered classical music via fliers, posters, newspaper articles or just hearing a noise from a building and feeling curious. Then, as famous pianists came to be known like Beethoven, Mozart and Bach, classical music really took off. Back then, the only music was classical or opera, and less wealthy people could watch classical performances and it was cherished.

In music, the notes B to C and E to F are the only regular notes which have an interval of a minor second.
The main influence Western Classical music has on modern day music is the two main types of scale there are, major and minor. Before the classical era, people used mainly modal scales, that is, only the white notes on the piano starting on any note for different modes. Pentatonic and raga scales would also be used more without the classical era. Another notable influence is musical structure. The verse-chorous structure of modern music is a relative of the rondo, and binary and tenery structures from the classical era are still widely used. The micro structure of classical music is also common today - four bar phrases for example, and regular meter mainly in triple and quadruple time. Instrumentation is a big influence, not so much in modern pop, but in jaz, blues and TV and Film music. The piano is the most notably used classical instrument, and the idea of large enssembles like big bands are ideas seeded from an orchestral setting. Even writting music down for others to perform only came from the classical era! So next time you hear someone say classical music sucks, just say if it wasn't for it mordern music wouldn't exist.
Although Wikipedia defaults to music if you type in Classical Period" - is this really only a 'music' question? Was life in Europe pretty much the same in 1820 as it was in 1750??
