What reading level is Catechism of Musical Aesthetics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Concerning the effect of rhythmical formations, which — 42 — we have touched as yet only cursorily, we have to make the supplementary remark that it is to be referred altogether to their relation to the value of the units of counting. The motion in plain units of counting is rhythmically in- different, it produces its effect merely by the melodic, dynamic and agogic changes. The simplest rhythmical formations properly so called are the contraction of several units of counting to one long note,
...and the subdivision of the unit of counting into two or more shorter ones; more complicated formations arise from abnormal sub- division of contracted values (triplets, etc. ) and from ab- normal contraction of subdivided units (syncopation). In general we have to say about the aesthetic value of these rhythmical means that the contraction of several units ot counting appears as a stopping of the motion, and has a retarding, separating, concluding effect; while subdivision, giving a fresh opportunity for recognising the continuation of uiovement, has a stirring, enlivening effect, and marks a new beginning.
