Answer:

Western music compromises the purity of intervals by adopting 12-tone equal temperament in order to allow for greater harmonic complexity and modulation. Rhythmic complexity is, in general, lower. Eastern music keeps the intervals more pure, but typically does not feature extensive harmonic complexity or modulation.
