Many people today don't seem to realise that what's Classical today was pop in it's own day. Literally.

That's exactly so. Also for the 'normal' people without money, street musicians performed transcriptions of say, the latest Mozart tune so everyone got to hear it as their 'pop' music. A bit like Burt Bacharach in a way. The old Hurdy Gurdy was fun on the streets..... I love this kind of stuff!! It's still around in pop as well .... More integrated with the band ....
