Description
Tyranny of Style: "If it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art."
In this sharp, uncompromising address, he defends the composer's duty to the text: not to entertain, not to soothe, but to translate meaning with precision and depth. Music, he argues, must obey something higher than taste—something as exacting, and as rare, as truth itself.
