False.
"Classical music" (Western art music broadly) is not primarily polyphonic. Earlier periods (Renaissance, Baroque) used extensive polyphony, but the Classical era and much Romantic/modern repertoire favor homophonic textures (clear melody with accompaniment). Polyphony remains important in many works, but it is not the sole or dominant texture across the whole tradition.
