Alexander's Hetaroi
Deity
I understand what you are trying to say. However in my mind most of the legacy that musicians leave behind is their work, such as Beethoven's Symphony No.9.I'd really rather they leave a tangible artifact representative of themselves or their works, rather than leaving a song that has to be exhibited or something of the sort which still ends up feeling weird.
In general, except for great artists, I would just move away from the idea of Great Works altogether - a great person's great work(s) is(are) represented by their active ability. The artifact they leave behind when they retire is the thing they go see or treasure in that great person's memory.
In the case of William Shakespeare, let him have an ability where he can build a free theater building and add extra amenities and culture to every theater. Whenever he is used up then he can leave behind either Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet as his "artifact", which those are what he is known for.
