	It's difficult to imagine why wizards would have their own 
'popular' artists, like Celestina Warbeck and The Weird Sisters, but 
not their own 'serious' ones. That  does not mean that people like 
Dumbledore wouldn't enjoy playing music by Muggle composers. I expect 
Dumbledore has a harpsichord which is similar to  mine, except that *
his* stays magically in tune (sigh). Harpsichordists spend half their 
time tuning, and the rest of it playing out of tune.<g>
