"EXTERiORlZATlON' AND HNTE-
RIORlZATION."

After hurried survey of the political
and musical activities Of the principal
European countries from the eleventh 10
the nineteenth century Mr.. Forsyth ar
rives at the conclusion that while the
spirit OF foreign enterprise and expansion
may encourage literature and the plastic
arts (as one Of the results OF wider OBJ
servaton Of the objects which provide con
tents for those arts a spirit Of introspec-
tion is necessary for the development OF
music. These arc not the authors words.
but they reflect fairly, even II incompletely.
his fundamental proposition. To show how
musical creation differs from other forms
of artistic creation he uses these words:
The painter. the sculptor and the poet
gather In the things which they can see and
touch and hear. They pass these sense
impressions through their minds and bring
forth version OF them colored and mod
fed by their personalities. The musician.
wholly self-centred, passes through the
same process. but the creative act begins
In quite different manner in that he looks
for his stimulus TO nothing outside his tWn
personality. Lock the painter the
poet and the sculptor up within four bare
walls. give them light. paint. canvas. pen,
Ink, paper. clay-and in ten years they VIII
produce nothing but from memory. Lock
the musician up with his pens and paper;
rod MIN OF every tAleIIdl pOs-
sible. take away even sight and hearing
and he will continue his artistic develop
ment unchecked by his surroundings.
The writer has no disposition to quarrel
with this presentation OF the essential diff
ference between music and the other arts.
Music has as little association with the
other arts In respect Of It's contents as II
has in respect OF II materials 1t has in
its best and true estate no object OF imita
tion and because of this. as we'll as for
other reasons, It stands isolated from all
the other products OF the human mind On
the one hand are the things which are pro-
jected, grasped, comprehended by the In
tellect; on the other, in awe-inspiring soil
tude, outside the domain Of reason and
therefore beyond its reach, stands music,
bodying forth the form OF things unknown.
1t Is a pure expression OF the will, the
most individual, the most lawless OF the
arts and the bne most subject TO change.
Applying his theory to the various coun-
tries OF Europe, Mr.. Forsyth concludes
that those which sat with their faces
turned inward (Which practsed "interiori-
zation." as he calls iO for n considerable
period developed musical art, while those
whose faces were turned outward, which
were bent on conquest and expansion, were
barren. OF musical development. We arc

a species of opera which shall have its lit

1t is evident that what Mr.. Forsyth wants
