What reading level is A General History of the Science And Practice of Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Book XVIU, England, sang in the operas of Camilla, the Triumph of Love, and Pyrrhus and Demetrius.
From the account herein before given of the pTOgress of music in this country after the Restora- tion, it evidently appears that the taste of the Eng^li was accommodating itself to that of the Italians, not to say of the French, who in this respect were then as little worthy of imitation as they are now. Cibber, in the Apology for his Life, says, that about the beginning of this century the Italia...n opera began to steal into England ; and that the new theatre in the Haymarket opened with a translated opera to Italian music called the Triumph of Love. That this account is erroneous in many respects will presently be shewn: it is true that entertainments of a similar kind to the opera were known among us soon after the Restoration; but these were in strictness no more than musical dramas; tragedies with interludes set to music, such as the Tempest, Oedipus, the Indian Queen, Timon of Athens, Dioclesian, and some others by Purcell, Circe by Banister, and Psyche by Matthew Lock.
