As you noticed, cp -L doesn't create symlinks: it dereferences existing
ones. (turns them into ordinary files/directories in the copy)
You could try something like this instead:
cd /music/entirelist
ln -s ../?/* .
This will create symlinks in /music/entirelist to everything that's in
the letter-directories. If you also have other one-character directories
in music, you might want to use [A-Z] instead of ?.
