I think the issue here might be that you're familiar with what "style" is supposed to be in music, so you know how imitating it would look (rather, sound) like.

On the contrary, you may have no idea what style means in the context of writing, so you can't fathom what imitating writing style looks like.

I honestly don't know precisely either, but a couple of things to mull over: Clarke and Asimov are said to have a "dry" style. Most of their novels are "story". On the contrary, Eco describes things in very minute detail (there's a whole chapter in "The name of the rose" that is the description of a door).

Those are examples of elements of style you may be able to reproduce and that aren't limited to wording.
