The human brain is 'auditorily centered'...I don't think Nabokov found music boring, bland, or
banal. I believe he was just so busy with grasping the visual he simply did his best to ignore
sound directly. Indirectly, he is, to me, one of the most musical writers I have read to date.
Your question is good. I don't have an answer but would certainly be interested in the opinions
of others.
