Comment on Culture no longer exists in our reality today because the actors responsible for it most of it have long been deprived of their livelihood.

Is Mozart’s music culture?

He was doing his stuff almost 100% for profit and was seen as a sell-out by a lot of the musicians at his time. He wrote his songs in German instead of Latin because he wanted to make essentially pop songs that were sung by kids on the street, and the musical establishment derided him for it, because they didn’t think what he was making was actually art.
