Because many musical notes fall outside this range. For example, the strings that create the note middle C on a piano keyboard vibrate at just 261 Hz. There are many base notes lower than that - and lots of treble notes that are higher than 4,000 Hz.

Why does a telephone not do a very good job of transmitting music?

To expand on LincMad's statement: The frequency range of a voice-grade telephone circuit is 300 to 3100 Hertz. The frequency range of your stereo is 20 to 20,000 Hertz. They use the narrower bandwidth on a phone system so they can pack more phone calls into the same cable.A telephone transmits only a very limited range of audio frequencies, optimized for speech. Thus, all the high and low notes in music get lost over a telephone connection.
