Была ли современная классическая музыка попсой в свое время?

Были ли в то время другие жанры и какие?

Была. Например, во многих культурах светские новшества приходили на смену духовной музыке. Тоже был контраст тот ещё. Потом и внутри светской музыки были революции. Классическая ныне опера встречалась в штыки.

"I had made up my mind to write the Adagio for the clockmaker right away and slip a few ducats in my dear wife's hands; I did start, but unfortunately, because I hate the job, I wasn't able to finish it. I write some every day, but have to postpone as I get bored, and surely, if there wasn't such an important reason to force myself, I would certainly leave off; yes, if it were a large clock, and the thing would sound like a true organ, then it might be fun; but as it is, the work consists solely of little pipes, which sound high-pitched and too childish for my taste", -- Вольфганг Амадей Моцарт, 1790 [1]
