It’s been suggested with a few questions lately that because music is written for film or video games that it is not classical.
While I generally don’t think of film music and video game music as being classical, isn’t the choice of intended venue, purpose, and audience a weak justification for that position.
Do you think that’s a valid justification? why?
Try a thought experiment and ask yourself if these exact same pieces were presented in a concert hall as classical and you had no knowledge of what they were written for how would you react?
