    Why doesn't anyone write like the traditional and most famous composers anymore? How come there's no more symphonies or concerto grossos? If you know of any traditional composers I'd love to know!

    Do you mean composers who write like that or are you referring to music as a whole? Things move on, styles change, if everyone just created the same stuff the world would be a pretty boring place. If you want composers who write like Beethoven and Mozart then the best music you could listen to would be, you guessed it, Beethoven and Mozart! :) No one writes like Beethoven and Mozart better than Beethoven and Mozart!
