What reading level is Richard Strauss book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His taste was purer in 1887 ; and in many ways Macbeth, though it has never been so popular as the other early works of Strauss, is a model both in its instinctively right choice of material and in its musical facture. There are, it is true, a good many startling effects, but they are all justified by the subject. Strauss makes no attempt whatever to cover the whole ground of Shakespeare's drama ; no other character is introduced but Lady Macbeth— and she is really kept in the background of 66 ...RICHARD STRAUSS the picture — and absolutely nothing " hap- pens," not even the murder of the king. The whole drama is enacted in the soul of Macbeth; apart from the comparatively few bars that depict his wife, the score is entirely concerned with the internal conflict of the three main elements of his character — his ambitious pride, his irresolution, and his love for Lady Macbeth.
There is nothing here that is not pure u stuff for music," as Wagner would have said. The musical texture of the work is extraordinarily strong and well-wrought ; already the young man of twenty-two makes Liszt seem like an amateur in comparison.
