> ++In Western music, the emphasis is on harmonic development,

that has been so from, say, 1600 to 1900. Before that, emphasis was on
horizontal moves. And 20th century witnessed the development of serial
music and its further branches in Europe and the Americas.

> but in Eastern music the emphasis is on melodic development.

with Eastern more specifically being what? Arabic? Iranian? Ucrainian?
Siberian? Chinese (in general)? Indonesian? Australian (Aboes)?
Japonese? To name just a few...
