Instrumental Music Theory in Ancient Greece
A sophisticated system of instrumental music theory was developed in Ancient Greece that still greatly influences music theory today. The Greeks’ commitment to logical thought, abstraction, and classification enabled them to surpass all previous civilizations in terms of musical organization and complexity, and all later generations of western instrumental music would draw from this established base.
Pythagoras is usually credited with discovering the perfect intervals on a vibrating string that lead to the first formations of Greek musical theory.No direct writings from him survive, and his followers can only be represented by bits and pieces, but later writers produced treaties on instrumental music theory that we can gain an in-depth understanding from.
