What reading level is The "tuscan". a Short Account of a Violin By Stradivari, Made for Cosimo De Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Dated 1690 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The interesting document (a facsimile copy of which is annexed), in the possession of Messrs, Hill & Sons, shows that in 1794 the violin passed from the hands of Signor G. F. Mosell, of Florence, into those of Mr. David Ker, of Portavo, in Ireland, for the sum of about £2^.
Signor Mosell's statement, quoted by Mr. Ker, that the violin originally belonged to the Court of Tuscany, points to the strong probability of its having been one of the Concerto of instruments supplied by Stradivari in 1690... to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III de Medici. The Concerto consisted of five instruments — two violins, a violoncello and two violas. The violins and violoncello were ordered In 1684 by one Marquis Ariberti, but appear not to have been completed until 1690, when they were presented by the Marquis to the Grand Duke, who thereupon gave an order to Stradivari for the two instru- ments required to complete the Concerto.
The history of this transaction is contained in a manuscript notice of Stradivari by Don Desiderio Arisi, which contains many interesting particulars of the com- missions executed by the great master, and of the works with which we are now concerned.
