Today we don't have Classical Music composers. Classical music is period around XVI to XIX century, even part of XX century. It was pushed by, in one side, atonality (modern music) and popular music in the other.
Now, it's possible that today's composers write in a classical way. For example, the Prokofiev's First Symphony 'Classical' or Stravinsky's Pulcinella suite. But, even, we can't talk of classical music nowdays.
it didn't. It devolved.
Classical music (as we know it today) has existed since the 9th century and into the present day. The term "classical music" wasn't applied formally until the 19th century.
Many people world wide listen to classical music. The classical compositions are a welcomed change of pace from the popular music of today. Of course there is no language barrier to classical music. Thus many people still listen to the composers of classical music such as Mozart and Beethoven.
Classical music wasn't as you know it today. Today we have multiple genres spanning the entire music scene of the world. Several centuries ago Classical music was simply music. There was no disparity between what was classical and what was not. Nearly everything of the time was classical therefore it became popular from its inception. In terms of instrumental classical music, that took off at the demise of the Baroque Period and beginning of the Classical period. Rising middle-class wages allowed for a wider range of audience in virtuoso performances and public orchestras. Music was a sign of prestige and therefore those who could not perform at least attended. It was one of the primary sources of entertainment besides plays. Popularity for classical music has dwindled since the 19th century. And there is little hope it will be revived through the few neo-classical artists remaining.
The word 'classical', when applied to music, has two different meanings, a narrow one and a much broader one. In the narrow sense of the word the classical period in music extended roughly from the middle of the eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Classical music in the broader sense of the expression includes the 'serious music' or 'art music' of the last four centuries (or perhaps longer), continuing today.
