Lyotard doesn't talk that much about music.  Music is discussed in a few
essays, however. I will give you the books and titles.  Please write back if
you want me to get into more specifics as to their content.  Keep in mind
that even though Lyotard has come to be associated in the semi-public mind
with the postmodern, not everything he writes is on this topic. (Far from
it)

When Lyotard talks about art in general, he generally discusses it in the
context of the avant-garde.  Thus, with regard to music he is more likely to
discuss Cage or Boulez or a text by Adorno.
