What reading level is What is Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is, however, not only in the physical mani- festations of sound and light that we discover great analogies ;' the construction of the instruments for their perception — the eye and ear — is essentially based on analogous plans. Like the ear, the eye is a membranous structure. The ear is composed of three parts— rthe auditory canal, with the tympa- num, the tympanic-cavity, and the labyrinth. The corresponding parts of the eye are the sclerotic coat, the choroid coat, and the iris. The aqueou...s and vitreous humors present strong points of resem- blance with the water of the labyrinth. .The dif- ference between light and sound is not in kind, but in degree. Extremely rapid vibrations produce light ; VIBRATIONS. 71 slower ones, sound. The rapid vibrations have, however, a proportionately small amplitude ; slower vibrations a proportionately large amplitude. Hence the difference in the anatomy of the eye and the ear. The first is prepared to receive and respond to vibrations of enormous rapidity and small am- plitude ; the latter to receive and respond to vibra- tions of comparative slowness, but with a relatively large amplitude.
