They didn’t. The difference is that art such as painting or sculpture involves creating a permanent object, so we can see the historical record of artworks, whereas music requires separate technology to record it and such technology was only developed relatively recently in human history. Plenty of early music will have been lost because the composers lacked the ability to even write the scores.
