Abstract
In ancient Greece, music played a very important role in every meaningful context of community life; similarly, it was present in every significant event of an individual’s existence. Musical instruments were classified by Aristoxenus of Tarentum (4th c. BCE) into three main groups: cordophones, aerophones and membranophones (classification still in use). From at least the second half of the 5th c. BCE, ethical features were associated with the lyre and the aulos, the most representative instruments of the first two groups. In Rome, music had a narrower role.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
