Can you tell who wrote or is playing a piece of music?

Question

(or who wrote a work of literature) even if you never heard (or read) the piece before? Do writers and performers have particular characteristics or styles? If a writer or performer does have particular characteristics that are in most of his/her work, does that make her/him better or worse than someone who does not have a particular style? Or does it make no difference? Why?

Answer 1

well, i believe that every poet, author, and performer has to have a certain characteristic that highlights them from the bunch, in order to be "good". i.e Eminem!!
