True
During the 19th century, concert life in Western Europe and America moved from being performed in private or courtly settings to public concert halls. This shift was due to the rise of the middle class, who had the disposable income to attend concerts, and the growth of urban centers, which provided a larger audience base. As a result, public concerts became more common and accessible to a wider audience. The concert hall became the primary venue for musical performances, and this tradition has continued into the present day. This change in concert life also led to the development of new musical genres and styles that catered to the public concert hall format.
