Variation means little in terms of how popular it is. If you seriously take a look at the popularity of classical music compared to other genres, then yes, it has fallen out of the public eye. When I say "public eye", I don't mean just the current classical audience, as you seem to be referring to. I mean the entirety of music listeners, whether they be listening to rap, rock, jazz, classical, reggae, whatever. I'm not saying that more popular genres are bad, I'm just presenting my opinion.
