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 :)
