What reading level is Songs And Song Writers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I cannot agree with him. Heine's poem is, indeed, as simple as any strophic folk-song ; but, after all, what gives it its poetic value is not its metric structure and rhyme, but its subject. It presents a series of poetic pictures : a complete miniature drama is enacted before our eyes ; and Liszt translates this into music. His pensive opening bars are a prelude to the poet's query why he feels so sad to-day, and why a legend of old times keeps lingering in his mind. Then we get a 182 Liszt vi...sion of the calmly flowing Rhine, with gently undulating music; and in the twilight we be- hold the maiden sitting on the rocks, combing her golden hair. She sings a song which has a strange melody a most seductive song in Liszt's version. The boatman passing in his skiff below is entranced ; a wild longing seizes his soul ; he gazes fixedly at the maiden above, heedless of the dangerous rocks about him ; and her song is to blame if the waves at last engulf him with his boat.
By converting this miniature tragedy into a music-drama, Liszt has done infinitely more than Silcher did with his changeless air, pretty though it is.
