What reading level is The Pianoforte And Its Music : With Portraits And Illustrations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Lorenzo Penna's "Li Primo Albori musicali," published in Bologna in 1656, it is set down that ascending scales are to be played by the middle and ring fingers alternately of the right hand, and middle and index fingers of the left; in descending the process is to be reversed — middle and index fingers alternately of the right hand, and middle and ring fingers of the left. Mr. Blaikley's explanation of these stiff and awkward kinds of fingering is this: In the first place, the organ and clavi...chord not being tuned upon the system of equal temperament, music for these instru- ments was written only in the simplest keys, with the black keys rarely used, and in the second place the keyboards of the earlier organs were usually placed so high above the seat of the player that the elbows were of necessity considerably lower than the fingers. The consequence of the hands being held in this position and of the black keys being seldom required would be that the three long fingers stretched out horizontally would be chiefly used, while the thumb and little finger, being too short to reach the keys without difficulty, would simply hang down below the level of the keyboard.
