People bonding over being dilettantes instead of the thing which they have a superficial understanding of and mistake for an identity? Sounds like Franzen territory, Freedom is close but not quite, would not surprise me if one of his later novels takes it on.

>Never in the world has art produced anything as joyous as these symphonies in A major and F major, together with all the closely related compositions from the divine period of the Master’s complete deafness. The effect of this on the hearer is precisely this liberation from all guilt just as the after-effect is the feeling of a lost paradise, with which we return to the world of appearance. So these wonderful works preach remorse and repentance in the deepest sense of a divine revelation.

>The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century is a voyage into the labyrinth of modern music, which remains an obscure world for most people. While paintings of Picasso and Jackson Pollock sell for a hundred million dollars or more, and lines from T. S. Eliot are quoted on the yearbook pages of alienated teenagers across the land, twentieth-century classical music still sends ripples of unease through audiences. At the same time, its influence can be felt everywhere. Atonal chords crop up in jazz. Avant-garde sounds populate the soundtracks of Hollywood thrillers. Minimalism has had a huge effect on rock, pop, and dance music from the Velvet Underground onward.

>The Rest Is Noise shows why twentieth-century composers felt compelled to create a famously bewildering variety of sounds, from the purest beauty to the purest noise. It tells of a remarkable array of maverick personalities who resisted the cult of the classical past, struggled against the indifference of a wide public, and defied the will of dictators. Whether they have charmed audiences with sweet sounds or battered them with dissonance, composers have always been exuberantly of the present, defying the stereotype of classical music as a dying art. The narrative goes from Vienna before the First World War to Paris in the twenties, from Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia to downtown New York in the sixties and seventies. We follow the rise of mass culture and mass politics, of dramatic new technologies, of hot and cold wars, of experiments, revolutions, riots, and friendships forged and broken. The end result is not so much a history of twentieth-century music as a history of the twentieth century through its music.

Read about the philosopher Pythagoras who invented music theory in Greece. He had been walking near a blacksmithery and heard the man hammering away on an anvil and the discordant sounds meshing together inspired him to work out how musical notation actually works.
