Bach, Mozart and Beethoven would also have struggled to fill Carnegie Hall-sized spaces in their day too. There performing spaces were much smaller representing a much smaller music loving "public." Ironically enough, their audiences were exactly of the kind you just described...musicians and educated music lovers.Mass subscription concerts (in vast public halls) did not start until the 20th Century and may not continue past the 21st.
