What reading level is The History of Music in Twelve Lectures Translated From the German book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

From the period when it had become recognized as the task of the composer to invent not merely artificial tone-combinations but also expressive melodies, the musical mission of the Nether- landers was ended. If the other nations, rightly acknowledging their own inferior talent for it, had left to the Netherlanders alone the development of counterpoint, and also cheerfully con- ceded to them during a century and a half all the musical honors in the capitals of Europe, they themselves now enter a...new upon the musical stage, in the foremost rank the Italians, who soon succeed in gaining for themselves the supremacy in the realm of music. The improvements which just at this time had been made in Italy in the art of multiplying copies of music, likewise con- tributed in a remarkable degree to the revival of the musical life of the Peninsula. Already in JOSQUIN'S time OTTAVIANO DEI PE- TRUCCI, named, after his birthplace, a town in the States of the Church, da Fossomorone, had invented music-printing with movable metal types.
