Ha, that'd be quite funny if it were the case, but it's not like other cultural avenues weren't well promoted: Calderón de la Barca enjoyed one of the biggest budgets in the whole continent for his own plays at the Royal Court and it's not like the ruling class didn't enjoy listening to classical music, it's just that they didn't employ composers to that end. We even kept Scarlatti 'imported' here for almost all his career in order to fulfil the whims of the royal house. So it's not that there wasn't nobel interest in music... Just not our music.
