We learn in HP-SS Chapter Six that Albus Dumbledore enjoys chamber music,
while in Chapter 13 Nicholas Flamel is noted as an opera lover as well as an
alchemist.

Does the wizarding world have its very own professional composers of serious
music, or do they listen to the same composers that Muggles-music lovers
identify as the Masters?  Or were the great composers also wizards?

The best definition of music I know is by the composer Ferruccio Busoni:
"Music is myth, metaphysics, and magic."
