I think that was the gist of Ben's post, it's merely a facet of intelligence. Though on an anecdotal level, the all of the genius level people I know, have also been brilliant musicians.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
