Will "classical" music be ever commercially viable

it already is commercially viable. the most popular release in terms of sales was a mozart collection iirc just a couple years ago

>is innately dense for the average attention span

frankly, classical is shit anyway even if each composition was split into 30 seconds tracks.

This is true only as long as you care only about 4-5 German composers of the 18th-19th century.
I'm pretty sure we should have our own Mozart, him still selling cds is meaningless.

You'd probably get a more adequate answer in the general, but likely not.

The corporate music machine is simply too strong to let go its hold on the masses, and art music is still reeling from the damage serialism caused in regards to modern perceptions of contemporary composers. Can we even name a figure that stands out in this classical world today? Where are the Bernsteins, the Boulez's, the Karajan's? There are no well renowned leaders, and the few that come close are relics and close to death.

The future looks pretty grim even if good contemporary compositions are still being produced.

You do know that classical music refers to a specific time period, right? Having a contemporary classical music composer is impossible by definition.
