What reading level is English Folk Songs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Do you think that Ravel's version would be exactly the same as Beethoven's ? Probably it would be very different. Now, who could be said to have composed that final version of what he had heard ? Certainly not Ravel, for he was only playing his version of Beethoven ; and I think it is unlikely that Beethoven would have acknowledged it as his. Would it not_ be the product of the united imagination of those five minds ?* We have pretty good evidence that exactly the same process' has been going o...n on a very large scale for generations in the case of the folk-song. One man sings to several more, they sing again their versions to others ; these versions, owing to the half-conscious nature of the singers, would probably vary considerabl}/ as the artistic instinct of the singer suggested, but a unity of feeling and style would be preserved (unlike the imaginary case of the Beethoven sonata), and, moreover, those variations which did not approve themselves to future genera- tions would drop out.
