I saw something (doc or a movie) where someone who was completely deaf enjoyed music simply by placing his hands on a speaker cabinet and feeling the vibrations through his fingertips. I think a person (who has a clean slate) would naturally gravitate to something is strong rhythmically, drawing from past experiences of feeling the music. I imagine they could possibly enjoy anything from Baroque to electronica.
The very very first piece that involves a melody I think something that is simple would be better than something complex. I think
Gymnopédie No.1 would good choice. Erik Satie spaces his notes where you can enjoy both the sound of the instrument and hear each note follow each other in the melody. I don't know if the person would consider it beautiful, or not.
