What reading level is The Opera; a Sketch of the Development of Opera. With Full Descriptions of All Works in the Modern Repertory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Wagner's social position at this point in his career may have reacted to a certain extent upon his music. An exile from his country, his works tabooed in every theatre, he might well be pardoned if he felt that all chance of a career as a popular composer was over for him, and decided for the future to write for himself alone. This may explain the complete renunciation of the past which appears in ' Das Rheingold,' the total severance from the Italian tradition which lingers in the pages of 'Lo...hengrin,' and the brilliant unfolding of a new scheme of lyric drama planned upon a scale of unexampled magnificence and elaboration.
Intimately as Wagner's theory of the proper scope of music drama is connected with the system of M 178 THE OPERA guiding themes which he elaborated, it need hardly be said that he was very far from being the first to recognise the importance of their use in music.
There are several instances of guiding themes in Bach. Beethoven, too, and even Gr6try used them occasionally with admirable effect.
