Who are some famous philosophers who also composed music?



I can think of one example: Boethius, one of the first music theorists / acousticians and author of Consolation of Philosophy; he composed:





  • Boethius: Songs of Consolation (YouTube playlist)
    (source)

  • Nietzsche of course :)

  • @Conifold He fell under the spell of Schoenberg to compose music very much of the time. I occasionally listen to Schoenberg, Berg, or Webern when I'm doing the dishes. Seriously. It works really well.
