How did the coming to power by Europe's middle classes affect the arts, literature, and music during this period? Is the middle class still a significant element in the creation and transmission of culture?

The rise of the European middle class gave the Renaissance its impetus. Individuals in cultures that have no significant middle class are either appreciating the arts for their monetary value, or are struggling so hard to eke out a living that the arts are meaningless to them. Any nation that does not have a large, viable middle class will eventually collapse. It has happened again and again throughout history.

During WHAT period? I suspect you're talking Renaissance here.
