What reading level is Old Fogy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, I should say, the Italian concert and that excellentthree-voiced fugue in A minor, so seldom heard in concert. It ispleasing rather than deep in feeling, but how effective, how brilliant!Don't forget the toccatas, fantasias, and capriccios. Such works as _TheArt of Fugue_ and others of the same class show us Father Bach in hisworking clothes, earnest if not exactly inspired.
But in his moments of inspiration what a genius! What a singularly happywelding of manner and matter! The _Chromati...c Fantasia_ is to me greaterthan any of the organ works, with the possible exception of the _Gminor Fantasia_. Indeed, I think it greater than its accompanying _Dminor Fugue_. In it are the harmonic, melodic, and spiritual germs ofmodern music. The restless tonalities, the agitated, passionate, desperate, dramatic recitatives, the emotional curve of the music, arenot all these modern, only executed in such a transcendental fashion asto beggar imitation?
Let us turn to the _Well-tempered Clavichord_ and bow the knee ofsubmission, of admiration, of worship.
