What reading level is Edward Macdowell : a Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His technic of piano writing was perfect; compared with Beethoven's it was a revelation. He never committed the fault of mere virtuoso writing, which is remarkable when we consider how strong 78 EDWARD MACDOWELL a temptation there must have been to do so. In his piano music can be found the germs of most of the pianistic innovations that are usually iden- tified with other composers — for instance, the manner of enveloping the melody with runs, the discovery of which has been ascribed to Thalbe...rg, but which we find in Mendelssohn's first Prelude, written in 1833. The interlocking passages which have become so prevalent in modern music we find in his compositions dating from 1835." Of Schumann he said happily: "His music is not avowed programme-music; 'neither is it, as was much of Schubert's, pure delight in beautiful sound. It did not break through formalism by sheer violence of emotion, as did Beethoven's: it represents the rhapsodical revery of an inspired poet to whom no imaginative vagary seems strange or alien, and who has the faculty of rela- ting his visions, never attempting to give them coherence, and unaware of their character until perhaps when, awakened from his dream, he naively wonders what they may have meant — you remember that he added titles to his music after it was composed.
