This answer is highly misleading, but at least it gives a reference to Shen's paper, which clearly shows there was rampant discrimination at MGU. You are also right to point out that this policy was, well not secret, but rather unacknowledged officially. The other elements of the answer are, alas, wrong.

comment How popular was Mozart in France before WWII and after it?
This is interesting information, but I am not yet fully convinced. What about regular concerts? Is something known about the statistics of their repertoirs? What about operas?

comment Why didn't the Arab states industrialize?
Good point... otoh, the OP also assumed Europe and E.Asia industrialized at the same time. And he has "Arab states" in the title. Actually, the question is a bit too confusing.
