What reading level is Great Composers And Their Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
knew and loved the composer, and were accustomed to see him stand upon the side- walk, or even in the street, writing, if some new thought had presented itself suddenly to his mind. He was naturally not so well known outside of Vienna, and, as his appear- ance was often very untidy, he was once arrested as a vagrant on one of his long walks. Sometimes he would meet a party of his noble acquaintances while pushing along in his shirt-sleeves, and in such a case he would march on without attempt- ...ing to make himself presentable. The poet Goethe, the perfection of a courtier, was horrified by his lack of respect for the aris- tocracy, while Beethoven was indignant at Goethe's humble attitude towards princes. " Mann muss sie imponieren, " " One must be imposing with them, " - said Beethoven, referring to his manners with the nobility.
A strange compound altogether : sturdy as his Flemish ancestors had been, a shy and Ludwig Van Beethoven. 127 awkward nature intensified in its self-dis- trust by the greatest of all afflictions to a composer, deafness ; tender-hearted yet quarrelling with everybody ; most liberal in his ideals, most illiberal in his actions ; most sensitive yet most overbearing, one must seek the key to this riddle in the music which he has left as a legacy to the world ; here we have the real Beethoven, fighting a lifelong battle with destiny, never morbid, never yielding to despair, humorous at times, but in a rough and untamed way, loving lib- erty and believing ever in the brotherhood of all mankind, a model in art for all the coming ages.
