What reading level is Pianos And Their Makers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1732, Tschudi es- tablished himself as harpsi- chord maker in that historic house, 33 Great Poulteney Street, which the later firm of Broadwood & Sons occupied for their showrooms and city offices until 1903. It was in this house where the " Wonder-child, " Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, practiced on the harpsichord which Tschudi had built for Frederick the Great, King of Prussia.
Tschudi seems to have been the first to change his name for expedience' sake, for he traded under the name of Burkat S...hudi. Besides being an excellent mechanic, Shudi was also a very shrewd business man, who knew the value of advertising. He courted the friendship of all leading musicians who came to London, and formed an intimate friendship with the great Handel, who intro- duced Shudi 's harpsichords to the English nobility, and no doubt assisted materially in securing Shudi 's appointment as maker to the court of the Prince of Wales. The composer Haydn was also one of Shudi 's intimate friends and was so much at home in Shudi 's house that he wrote many of his compositions there.
