If you're on the internet, it exists. That's pretty much the rule I've come to accept. EVERYTHING is on the internet. The strangest fandom pairings you can think of, the weirdest nonsense ever, and videos on youtube of everything down to pimple popping.
But wait. That's not quite true. Not everything IS on the internet.
Especially.
I feel like there is not a significant amount of classical music art.
I log onto deviantArt and I see plenty of art dedicated to modern music - photographs of guitars, drawings of an OC playing electric bass, and more than many wonderfully done portraits of Taylor Swift. Yet I type in "Tchaikovsky" and get very little relevant artwork. Dvorak is even worse, and he's my complete and utter hero. <3 <3 <3 <3 Even more than the Doctor or Edward Elric or Spock, and that's saying something.
Once in a while, I find something golden. Chibis of Beethoven and Mozart. * happy squee * A deviantArt fan's comic that details out Liszt's life. But considering the fact that classical music is performed internationally, and that there's at least a half dozen crazy classical enthusiasts at a moderately sized USA high school, one would think that... well, I think we could do a lot better.
Yeah, yeah, classical music isn't mainstream in one sense. But it has been around for centuries in some cases, and there's a reason why it is! If I can find someone pairing Snape and Snape's nose (I'm not making that up), I think it would be wonderful if I could find a Haydn or Tchaikovsky artistic... SOMETHING!
If any of you read this and love classical music and own a pencil to your name, I beg you to get out and draw! Paint your bamf bassoon, sketch out an adorable chibi Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, draw something adorable going on between Robert and Clara Schumann. There's plenty of potential out there. And if you do, send me a link. I will be more than ecstatic to see another fellow Baroque/classical/Romantic/etc. enthusiast out there.

Here is a lovely Tumblr blog about a pair of fictional classical musicians.
I am an enormous fan of this blog.
And - isn't interpreting their masterpieces some kind of fan art?
We don't just cover Schumann, we play Schumann. I think it is way more impressive to present a classical piece than covering a mainstream song (well, that kinda depends) but those mostly compain three different chords and that's it.
Also - it's sad but true, at least with people my age - that there are not many people who enjoy classical music as much as any kind of "modern" music.
As for me - I love classical music as much as I love any other, maybe even more.
Wonderful deep philosophical comment! You're right and I hadn't thought about that. Learning the pieces most definitely is fanning over them. XD
I think classical lovers are a representable minority at any age. The only time what we call "classical" was mainstream was around the time operas became available to the middle class around the start of Romanticism (I think). But that's okay not being the majority.
I certainly have widespread interests in music, but classical is still something special.
Yes. I think classical music will never completely vanish. Many "modern" songs that werde published maybe ten (or even less) years ago, are hardly remembered. But classical masterpieces "last throughout the ages" (I actually quoted Epic Rap Battles of History there
