As you can see through each musician the respect of each was greatly changed. The Classical Era was the final historical period of the “patronage system” in which musicians worked as servants to powerful noblemen (CITE RED). During this time a lot was going on in the world (American Revolution, Industrial Revolution, and French Revolution). This prompted a lot of change in the world. Classical Period music was the “swan song” of autocratic powers among most European nobles, and it was the era that gave birth to the great democracies of the New World (CITE RED). Joseph Haydn was a great example of the Patronage System. Hayden was hired by a rich aristocratic family that hired him to write and compose music only for them. At the time Hayden could not have received recognition on his own for being a brilliant composer, he only could receive it through the family he worked for. But this all was starting to change in society. Composers were broke from the patronage system so they started looking at other places to make money as musicians
