Sinopsis

Excerpt from Style in Musical Art: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered at Oxford on March 7, 1900

Turning now to the subject which is proposed for our consideration to-day, it must be confessed that one can hardly think of style in man or nature or art without being importunately haunted by a familiar French pro position, which conveys to the superficial mind the view that manner counts for more than man. No doubt the familiar 'le style c'est l'homme' compares unfavourably with the more ancient saying 'by their fruits ye shall know them,' but it is probable that it was not intended to attribute so much importance to externals as the aptitude of men for misunderstanding things which are too tersely stated leads them to infer. There are thousands of things by which a man's nature may be gauged besides style. Everything that is part of him may in some.

Excerpt from Style in Musical Art: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered at Oxford on March 7, 1900

Sense be a gauge of him. Just as a great naturalist has been said to be able to reconstruct some unknown animal from a single bone, men say you can tell a man's nature by the shape of his nose or his hand, or the expression of his mouth, by his walk, by the tone of his voice. Everything may serve the quick-witted as a basis of inference, though all may not be equally trust worthy. Style is mainly an external attribute - a means to an end, and in no wise comparable to actual qualities of character or action in man, or the thought embodied in what is said in poetry, or the idea embodied in art. But it is an essential. It is present in everything which has real vitality, and in every moment of art's existence. And as it is infinitely variable in relation to the conditions in which artistic work is presented, it serves as a very comprehensive means of inferring the genuineness either of man or of artistic work.
