Surprisingly musical. Or perhaps not surprisingly.

This is fascinating, thanks for posting it! I'm a big fan of board
games, and while I know how to play chess, it's always resisted my
efforts to become anything other than mediocre at it.
What fascinates me is how different the old master games sound when
compared to the Fischer/Spassky game. It seems fitting given the
wild style of play Fischer was known for. It just seems right that
his game gives a much more atonal melody.

I'm not so sure that I agree with that. Fischer was a tremendously
strong player with a strong middle game, and an attacking style. Those
same words can be used to describe Paul Morphy. Both players preferred
King's pawn openings.
In the Fischer game, he had the white pieces in game 6, and C4 was
player first, which was very uncharacteristic for Fischer. (I believe
that was only the 3rd time he had ever done that in a big game).
Play advances VERY differently depending upon which opening is chosen.
I suspect that accounts for why his game sounds so different. C4 is not
used much in general, by anyone. Typically E4 or D4 are played because
they control more of the center of the board immediately.

Also, I spent some time studying that Morphy game in detail about 10
years ago, and another difference between the Morphy game, and the other
two, is that Morphy's opponent was a much weaker player. The other two
games are played by more evenly matched grandmaster level players.
