What reading level is Studies in Seven Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With the first notes of the first movement we are in the heart of music, as if one awoke on board a ship, and was on the open sea, beyond sight of land.
Here, and to the end, every note has its separate meaning, its individual life, and is more than the mere part of a whole. There is so much music which, because it is lead- ing to something, does not stay by the way, conscious of itself, perfect as an end, though it is also perfect as the means to an end.
In the Lento Beethoven prays ; there is... in BEETHOVEN 219 it a peace so profound and yet acute that it is almost sad; yet it is neither joy nor sorrow, but a hymn to God out of sorrow, itself faith, resignation, and a sure and cer- tain hope of the 'rest that remaineth/ Even Beethoven never made a more beauti- ful melody, nor was there ever in music a landscape of the soul so illuminated with all the soft splendour of sunlight. The Qrave leading to the Allegro^ with the words, 'Muss es sein? Es muss sein'(the 'pain- fully made resolve ') seems willing, for once, in a kind of despab or distrust even of music, to fix a more precise meaning upon sounds.
