Classical Music has very different instrumentation generally, and uses a conductor for some pieces. Also, many times the soloist or star or someone else in the concert does not write the music. Many times, classical music pieces are much longer than popular songs. Classical music generally does not use a microphone, and many popular bands do.

∙ 15y agoPop Music of the last Century uses the form of 'song' which wikipedia defines as: "A song is a musical composition which contains vocal parts that are performed, 'sung,' and feature words (lyrics), commonly accompanied by Musical Instruments (exceptions would be a cappella songs). The words of songs are typically of a poetic, rhyming nature, although they may be religious verses or free prose. The words are the lyrics." Classical music however is generally much more complex in structure and may use a variety of different forms which may or may not feature vocal parts with lyrics. Also, modern pop music generally does not exceed 4 or 5 minutes whereas a classical piece can range anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.

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.
