I wouldn't be too quick to jump to that conclusion... It was common for
composers
in that era to write dance & party music in popular styles, at least on
the side
to help pay the bills. I'm pretty sure Mozart & Beethoven did their fair
share!
They were certainly much more receptive to the popular music of their
time than
most of today's academicians and classical purists are to ours...
