You are right Melkor tries to make his own music to bring his own desires into the theme. He contends against Eru with the music. The discor grows then Eru starts a new theme, but Melkor's music grows louder and drowns out Eru's music. Then Eru starts a third theme. This theme starts softly and sorrowfully but Melkor can not drowned it out. It just keeps growing and growing. Melkor's music sounds "vain and endlessly repeated" and the most triumphant notes in Melkors music are taken and woven into the other music's pattern then Eru raises his hands high and there is one chord "deeper than the Abyss, higher than the Firmament, piercing as the light of the eye of Iluvatar." and the music stops.
It says in the Silm that at the end the Ainor will again play there music and it will sound even more beautiful because each one shall know his part.
