Well, there was no media to spread the music at that time either. No way to buy a record, or a 78, or even a wax cylindar. The ONLY way to hear the music back them was to go to a concert. Kinda hard to see Mozart conducting in Vienna when you live in Paris...


If there were a recording industry back then, who knows what would have happened...
