What reading level is Memories of a Musical Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One night somebody sent up the request that I should play simultaneously "Old Hundred" with one hand and "Yankee Doodle" with the other. This I did, merely to show that even two such dis- similar melodies could be played to- gether in a musical way. There was a good deal of applause, but also consider- able hissing from the religious element, so I made a speech explaining that I meant no disrespect to "Old Hundred" by pla- cing it in such close connection with "Yan- kee Doodle," and that the me...lody which had to a certain extent been adopted as a national air was on that account worthy of being played with any hymn.
Fifteen years later, in 1870, George F.
Boot, who had assisted my father in his musical convention work in the East, but who had settled in Chicago and was doing the same kind of pioneer work in the West, was holding a summer musical con- vention in South Bend, Indiana. He wished to introduce piano as well as vocal A MUSICAL LIFE 189 teaching, and invited me to take charge of the piano classes.
