Zachariah Archer · Answer 2

Though the romans adapted greek instruments for their own use, they did not adapt greek philosophy and practices of music with the same enthusiasm.

Explanation:

More is known about Greek music than Roman music and what we know is in the field of conjecture. The Romans were not very creative with regard to art, they copied from other peoples they conquered and so we can imagine that music was like that too.

The Romans brought Greek wisdom to Rome, and soon musical theater gained the interest and admiration of the Romans. Although they adapted Greek instruments for their use, unlike the Greeks, the Romans did not associate music with ethics. The presence of instruments was on every occasion in Roman life, from major festivals to the discreet and domestic use of solo instruments. However, the Romans were not very willing to adapt the Greek philosophy and practices of music to their compositions.
