forgot about explanations:-

22a) NOTHING [=bagatelle]
number = NO., that's half = TH, in = IN, one sharp = G

23a) CITHARA [=ancient instrument]
mostly archaic oddly enshrining time = put T inside anagram of archai(c)

28a) PARRY - double definition

21d) SCORES [=editions of music]
a central feature = CORE, on board = put that inside S.S.

20d) STAINER [=composer]
retains works = anagram

24a) TOT UP [=sum]
child = TOT, socially acceptable = U, piano = P
