It's a fair question, why not discuss the need for repeating the same music over and over?

Why do people go to school for years to learn violin to play hundreds of year old songs?

Will musicians hundreds of years from now do this sort of thing with classic rock and hip hop?

Different interpretations. People put their own spin on the music. Ex: listen to Harnoncourt's Mozart 40 and Klemperer's Mozart 40. Harnoncourt's is quicker and more anguished and Klemperer's is slower and more deliberate.

Many people like to hear Classical Music live and it's a great artform that should be preserved.

this, plus the """"songs"""" are compositional masterpieces and stand the test of time

Because composers did not record their music in audio format, only on paper. Even with those that did, scores invite others to perform it how they please

Because it's something certain people enjoy doing

Covers of songs exist, you know

my guess would be that it's been around (among other genres) for hundreds or thousands of years, the only way to hear a song would be to play it , and so it's grown into a tradition , why would they stop just because they have it recorded?

stupid question

you should be asking why people still fucking cover folk and blues trad songs in 2017
