Why are you guys talking about Mozart as if you can split the mass adoption of music into pre and post Mozart? Mozart was one of many in an ongoing evolution of European music. The way masses interacted with music varied based on the time and the culture. Some cultures at any given time would vary based on whether they produced much music at all (look at how Calvinism and the way the Dutch aristocracy handled music patronage vs Italy or France impacted Dutch music's dominance before vs after the Renaissance), what kind of music they produced (worship music only or also secular patronage?), etc. Mozart did not significantly overhaul this, rather he spent his latter years desperately trying to keep his reputation and relevance alive with travels.
