What reading level is Alla Breve From Bach to Debussy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No man of his time was more truly the grand seigneur of music, or the fairy-god- father of struggling talent. In the Parisian salons of the July monarchy he was a peer of Chopin, Victor Hugo, George Sand and Franz Liszt 167 Heine. Between rapid-fire runs and octave trills he could shrewdly discuss Saint-Simon's nouveau christianisme or political and social problems. He was at ease strolling with Napoleon III on the terrace of the Tuileries, or with Pius IX in the gardens of the Vatican. Whether... living with the astonishing Countess d'Agoult on the shores of Lake Geneva, or at Weimar's "Altenburg" with the solicitous Princess Sayn- Wittgenstein in attendance; whether in the blaze of a crowded concert hall or in cloistral retirement at Santa Francesca Romana, with the ruins of the Forum at his door, the various scenes in this unparalleled career were always of a sort to keep the tongues of Europe wagging, to satisfy the public's craving for picturesque effects and sentimental complications.
