>Schopenhauer, as it turns out, had no use—and no ear—for Wagner’s chromatic harmonies. Wagner sent him a beautifully bound copy of the Ring with the inscription, “from respect and gratitude.” The grouchy philosopher was not impressed. He instructed the Swiss journalist, Franz Wille, to convey a message to his friend Wagner: “but tell him that he should stop writing music. His genius is greater as a poet. I, Schopenhauer, remain faithful to Rossini and Mozart.” The response was rude but not surprising, since Schopenhauer, who played the flute (not, like Nietzsche, the piano), was a lover of diatonic catchy tunes.

This also extends to a lot of since debunked scientific theories that Schop used to support his metaphysics, whether he would accept to adapt his views to the new discoveries or would join the sperg group signing petitions against Einstein. Remember that he was an avid opponent of Newton's theory of colors and many pre-Darwinian evolutionary models.
Personally I think Schop's metaphysical system is one of the tighter ones, that could very easily be adapted to modern scientific breakthroughs. To answer OP's question would require me to write an entire article here, but what I summarised here is the direction I would take with such an endeavour.
