What reading level is The Life of Ludwig Van Beethoven volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the Beethoven whom Schindler knew in his last years was not the Beethoven of 1810, and Anton Schindler certainly was not an Elizabeth Brentano. There happens to be proof that just in the former period the composer could talk freely and eloquently. Jahn says: "Beethoven's personality and nature, moreover, were calculated to make a significant but winning impression upon women, " and cites Mme. Hummel (Elizabeth Rockel) in proof. "As a matron advanced in years, " says he, "and still winning b...ecause of her charming graciousness, she spoke with ingratiating warmth of the good fortune of having been observed by Beethoven and to have been on friendly re- lations with him. 'Whoever saw him in good humor, intel- lectually animated, when he gave utterance to his thoughts in such a mood, ' said she with glowing eyes, 'can never forget the impression which he made. ' " There are two hypotheses as to the genesis of this letter to Goethe. The one: that Mme. Von Arnim in preparing the "Briefwechsel" for publication wrote out her own crude and neb- ulous thoughts and gave them to the public in the form of a fictitious report of a conversation of Beethoven, The other: that she found Beethoven fresh from the composition of the "Egmont" music, full of enthusiasm for Goethe and vehemently desirous that his, the great composer's, views upon music should be known and comprehended by the great poet; that he, happening to get upon this topic at their first interview, imparted those views to her with that express purpose; and that she, so far as she was able to follow and understand the speaker, and so far as her memory could recall his words a few hours after, correctly records and reports them.
