What reading level is The Symphony Since Beethoven book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The most remarkable of his early pieces, the "Symphonie Fantastique" (Opus 14a), is so original that we are not surprised, considering the common tendency arising everywhere to denounce the new, rather than prove its worth by careful investigation, that such a work was looked upon as a monstrosity by such eminent men as Cheru- bini, and was absolutely incomprehensible to the general public, upon whom it rather made the im- pression of a violent fright. Berlioz, during his lifetime, obtained muc...h the same effect with his later works, although Liszt's untiring efforts at length won some consideration for them in Ger- many. It was not until long after his death, through repeated and excellent performances, first by Billow and later by others, that the high worth of his compositions became felt and understood, in spite of the many external peculiarities. At last the sweet kernel has been found within the rough shell.
If we ask ourselves, with Berlioz's intimate friends, how it was possible for such inspired works, which are now so universally admired, to have been looked upon for decades as the pro- ductions of a half-diseased mind, we find three possible explanations.
