Classical music was simply the best music that could be written in its day, being an exercise in the management of the sound assets offered by an orchestra made up individual artists using very specialised instruments.
Make no mistake: if Mozart is reincarnate amongst us, he is using Cakewalk and synthesizers.
As a metaphor, consider the Amish - they claim to not want to use "modern technology", yet the technology they use was quite modern only a few hundred years ago, so the Amish aren't against "modern technology" per-se or they wouldn't be using the modern plow, horse harnesses, grain mills, etc.
See Paul Oakenfold’s work for a *great* example of this.
