As the Tolkien linguists say when asked why they study these non-existent languages in such painstaking detail: because the fragments are themselves things of beauty.

Make the art emotionally appealing , a joy to listen to, first. Then it will be both worthwhile, and a pleasure, to study it intellectually as well. The best art measures high on both scales.
