What reading level is Woman in Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


* * * But we can now turn to a greater pair than the Mendelssohns, and find a great composer fostering his wife's talent and tak- ing pride in it. Robert Schumann first met Clara Wieck when she was a mere child, yet a piano prodigy. Among the great affec- tions of the world one constantly reads of Heloise and Abelard, of Petrarch ^nd WOMAN IN MUSIC 73 Laura, but beside these the musician may justly place the affection of Robert Schu- mann and Clara Yfieck. Just as Romeo has a fancied love for R
...osalind before he meets Juliet, so Schumann had an affection for Ernestine von Fricken before he saw Clara budding into womanhood. As he turned every event of his life into music one can find his love-letter to Ernestine in his Carni- val scenes for piano, in which he constantly spells out the name of her birthplace in notes. She was born in the city of Asch, and in the German nomenclature E-flat is called ^'ES" and B-natural is named ^'H'* —whence ''A, ES, C, H." Also A-flat is called ''AS," whence we can obtain the variant of ''AS, C, H." The reader will be astonished, if he examines Schumann's ' ' Carnaval, ' ' to find how much of this great piano suite is founded on these notes, a notable instance of music inspired by female influence.
