Note 274 — Chapter VII · MUSIC AND PLASTIC
Charles Francis Atkinson translation
Our pedantic method has given us an art-history that excludes music-history; and while the one has become a normal element of higher education, the other has remained an affair solely for the expert. It is just as though one tried to write a history of Greece without taking Sparta into account. The result is a theory of “Art” that is a pious fraud.
