Yes. Off the top of my head the Bach family comes to mind:
J.S.: The "Coffee Cantata". Yes, I know that's technically drink but it is in the general category. The fictional son of J.S, - P.D.Q., (Perer Schickele) wrote "The Seasonings."
Yes
Examples of Classical music from the 'Classical' period is anything written by composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Paganini and early-mid Beethoven between the years of about 1750 and 1820. Suggested pieces are Beethoven's First, Second, Third and Fourth Symphonies, Mozart's Operas and Haydn's piano sonatas. However, if you are referring to 'Classical' music as any music written before the music of the present day then you can listen to pretty much anything between the dates of 1450 and 1900 by composers as diverse as Monteverdi, Thomas Tallis, Henry Purcell, Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Schubert, Sergei Rachmaninov and Edward Elgar.
Of course, classical music is the most popular than modern music and will always have a place in any century.
The intended tempo for any classical music piece is determined by its composer. It can be slow, fast, or anywhere in between.
Any song can be transposed into any key. This is very often done with popular music, but is also done with classical 'songs' or solo pieces, to accommodate individual performers.
Yes
You can get a classical CD set including the greatest hits of Strauss online at any classical music website or you could go to any classical music store and purchase the best of Strauss over the counter.

In a broad sense, yes. Any art music can be termed Classical. But Classical refers to the musical period directly after Bach's. He wrote music of the Baroque period.

Any from classical to rap
Sections of Orff's Carmina Burana come to mind, but this may be more recently written than you are going for. Still, great stuff.

Kurt Adler was involved in classical music. He mostly did not play any music, but he conducted an orchestra that played classical music. The music he does play is on the piano.
No. Classical music is typically European church music while folk music is the music composed and played by plain old folk from about any country, but particularly America.
"Classical music" describes an era in the history of music, although the term is used loosely to cover all music that is not "Popular" or "Commercial". (the term is even being applied to old rock music!)Although it sometimes seems like violins are present in every bit of classical music, much classical music does not have a single violin anywhere in it.Of course, anything with an established instrumental group form that has violins will have them: orchestras, string orchestras, string quartets, etc. But even then, there are string trios which have not a single violin present. Also, any solo literature that isn't written for violins will lack violins: piano solos, flute solos, the list is practically endless.All wind band music (Beethoven and Mozart even wrote for wind band!) will lack violins.In fact, there may be a lot more music pieces, counted individually, from the Classical period that lack violin, because of the predominance of keyboard pieces, than there are pieces that include violins!
