What reading level is The Music of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

.. I Matra Druta . .. 2 2 Laghu . .. 4 . .. 1 v. Guru . .. 8 . .. 2, , Pluta . .. 12 . .. 3, , Kakapada . .. 16 . .. 4 . . ^ Music of Hindifsthan, pp. 217. 21i 74 THE MUSIC OF INDIA One avarta or section contains from 2 to 4 bars or vibhagas, each of which is constituted by a number of angas (members), consisting of one or more of these time units. The virama or rest is used for lengthening the druta and laghu by any fraction. Each avarta must begin the time-measure correctly, and all the vario...us time elaborations must be worked out in the avarta. The SaiigJta-Ratnakara gives 120 examples of different time-measures, formed by the combination of these time- units, the bar varying in length from one to nineteen notes. Most of these are very unlike any of the tala employed to-day, and so there is nothing gained by dis- cussing them. We shall therefore take up the time system as it is to-day in both northern and southern music. Here again there is a good deal of difference between the north and the south.
