To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In the midst of all this, he must needs marry; and his vices and weaknesses carried their blight into other lives. He soon lost his position in Halle, and never found another permanent one. Never did so great an artist sink so low. From day to day, the family suffered either from hunger or from the drunken abuse of its reckless head. He sold his father's manuscripts, with utter disregard of the value of the legacy over which he had charge ; while, on the other hand, his brother, Philip Emanuel,... carefully pre- served and catalogued his share, and transmitted them to posterity. Pecuniary help was given from his fam- ily, but the erring brother was irreclaimable. By play- ing violin at taverns and with street bands, an unstable existence was eked out. Occasionally, if he could be brought into condition for it, a concert was given, and on these occasions his slumbering talent would some- times burst forth with unexpected and dazzling brill- iancy. He moved about from town to town with the erratic impulses of a gypsy, and deeper and deeper he sank, with an utter carelessness of duty that was most pitiable to contemplate.
