Best Answer

Johann Sebastian Bach's style strongly influenced both Mozart (who is considered, in many ways, to be the epitome of a Classical composer) and Beethoven, who provided a transition between Classical and Romantic music.

Music in general has always been popular. In the Renaissance, the only music they had was music from composers such as Susato and had instruments such as the rommelpot (this instrument in real life is a straw and a lid on a cup. You pull the straw up and down and the sound you hear is the sound a rommelpot makes). Back then, that music was popular. As time progressed, the music composed in their era became popular and so on on and so forth. So the question of "who" made classical popular can't really be answered correctly. Every era had their "shining composer" such as Mozart in the classical era, and Bach in the baroque era. They made their music popular to their era and even now. When have you heard Morning by Grieg and immediately thought Classical Music? His music makes his era popular. Even now, if you ever get the chance to hear Einstein on the Beach by Phillip Glass, a modern composer, you'll find his music appealing and find that the music in our era is popular.

Classical music wasn't discovered. It was developed from musical styles and techniques from earlier musical eras (baroque, Renaissance, Medieval, whatever..) until it became its own era, with its own specialised and specific characteristics.

When did classical music get famous?

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.
