What is Patronage?

The word patronage refers to the support that kings or popes have provided to musicians, painters, and sculptors. Back in the olden days the most popular musician's had patrons who traded them food or a place to stay if they performed their music to them. This was only for the high class people and the low class people weren't allowed to listen to such good music that the rich people listened to because of the fact that they were poor. Mozart had patrons, but because he played his music to the poor his patrons started to hate him and his music.
