patronage system created a lot of mediocre n formulistic music. while some partrons may like those music, the general public preferred more creative n free-form music. the system also put a lot of pressure on musicians like Mozart who felt they had to comply w the demands of their patrons. later musicians like Beethoven worked for sponsorship rather than patrons.
