What reading level is The Steinway Collection of Paintings By American Artists, Together With Prose Portratis of the Great Composers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
HE most imposing figure in the history of music I was George Frederic Handel; imposing in his music, )his person physically imposing. He has been called, and not without reason, the greatest of English com- ) posers, though German born. He still dominates .English tnusic from Purcell to Elgar, notwithstand- ing the advent of two such dangerous rivals near this throne as Mendelssohn and Wagner. But the popularity of the Messiah has never been threatened. It is perennial. Its composer, sturdy, do...gmatic, brooking no opposition, as choleric as Dr. Samuel Johnson, to whom in certain charadieristics, he bears a surprising resemblance, was a glorified John Bull. The music he so fluently penned — and so blithely appropriated from other men's compositions — is not always pro- found, though harmonious, pleasantly sonorous, cheerful and healthy.
This particularly refers to the concertos, suites, fugues and overtures.
Occasionally melancholy is sounded, a sweet pathos that refledis the spirit of his epoch, which was more decorative than poetic.
