Ursula Le Guin has "An die Musik" in her short story collection, The
Wind's Twelve Quarters.  It's presumably not sf.

Orson Scott Card did write the novel Songmaster (?title). I
also really liked his short story (title forgotten) about Sugar,
the prodigy who society tried to isolate so that his music wouldn't
be corrupted by hearing another's, and later....

Spider Robinson did one about a rock singer wired for empathy.

Samuel R. Delaney I believe used music in one of his short novels; the
creature who would appear as a green archetypic figure, who told his story
in folk-song fragments (poorly recalled).  Also find something of
musical sense in the premise and characters of Babel-17, nominally
more about poetics/linguistics.

And I don't think I have much time for sf or short stories.  Must read
more of both than I think.
