To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Chopin is not for the mu- sical Young Person. He can be very terrible and mordant and he is not often tonic and cheering.
" It is the mistake of much popular criti- cism," writes Pater, " to regard poetry, music and painting — all the various products of art — as but translations into different lan- guages of one and the same fixed quantity of imaginative thought supplemented by cer- tain technical qualities of color in painting, of sound in music, of rhythmical words in poetry. In ,this way th
...e sensuous element in art, and with it almost everything in art that is essentially artistic, is made a matter of indifference ; and a clear apprehension of the opposite principle — that the sensuous material of each art brings with it a special phase of beauty, untranslatable into the forms of any other, an order of impressions dis- tinct in kind — is the beginning of all true aesthetic criticism." THE GREATER CHOPIN This especially applies to Chopin. His music may not — despite its canonic classi- cism — conform to the standards of the art of Bach and Beethoven, but apart from its message its very externals are marvellous.
