What reading level is Modern Musical Drift book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is Kundry to be explained? Then search the Scriptures. Read all the old poems, delve among the legends, turn up the sods of centuries. Is Parsifal to be ana- lyzed? Plunge into the Oriental forests and emerge with your Aryan expulsion and return formula ; co-ordinate your poetic axes ; parallel column your Siegfried, your Ulysses, and your guileless fool. Heaven be thanked, Brangane is not a mighty heroine of antique fable. She is but a parhelion which dwells near the sun.
We may dispose of her... with little effort.
Brangane is not heroic. There is not a line in Wagner's text to justify such a conception of the character. Wagner's Brangane is a maid, a serving-woman. She is simple-minded, even innocent. In some respects she is foolish.
Her one dominating note is devotion to her mistress. She is doglike in nature. She is Isolde's feminine Kurvenal. But she lacks in every essential the emotional and intellectual initiative of Tristan's esquire. She is passive.
She is necessarily thus. From the point of view of dramatic character construction she must be so in order to afford an effective foil to Isolde, with whom she is continually placed in contrast.
