Why (classical) Music?

Another reiteration of the conversation of the context of classical music in the context of society. 
PLEASE WATCH THIS TED TALK IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, IT'S SO WORTH IT.

Classical music is for everyone because it is usually simple and universal, the subjects of classical music are usually something everybody can relate to - a belief in god, longing for a lost relative or friend and etc. But just because classical music is relatable does not mean that classical music is not complicated. It is extremely complicated and the basis upon which modern music has been created. Everything is relatable. In fact, we relate meaning to practically everything in order to feel connected to the Universe and not to feel so small and insignificant.

This Ted Talk nearly brought me to tears. While we often focus on the intrinsic and admirable relatability of music (important for the sake of not isolating future audiences), it is easy to forget the intimate, yet powerful quality classical music does have.
