Because the nature of being pretentious is in your education, you've been told a certain way of doing things, so you think you know better, or that your way is more sophisticated. It may or may not actually be pretentious, I personally don't think musicians can be pretentious unless they're like Marilyn Manson and trying to pass themselves off as being an artistic statement in the form of ****ty pop metal, but I think that explains why you would call a classical musician pretentious.
