What reading level is Chopin And Other Musical Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, withinthe Christian era music has made enormous strides in its evolution asan art, and it seems therefore reasonable to infer that its emotionaland moral power has also increased. Yet, strange to say, a tendencyhas manifested itself of late, in many quarters, to flatly deny theemotional and moral potency of music. The late Richard Grant White, for instance, in a series of articles on the Influence of Music, in"The Atlantic Monthly, " comes to the conclusion that "a fineappreciation of even... the noblest music is not an indication of mentalelevation, or of moral purity, or of delicacy of feeling, or even(except in music) of refinement of taste. " "The greatest, keenestpleasure of my life, " he adds, "is one that may be shared equally withme by a dunce, a vulgarian, or a villain;" and he ends by asserting, dogmatically, that a taste for music has no more to do with our mindsor morals than with our complexions or stature. Dr. Hanslick, theeminent critic and professor of musical history in the University ofVienna, goes even farther.
