To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was in this way that the cembalo with figured bass was ultimately rendered unnecessary. And it was by this elementary recognition of difference of function between one class of instrument and another that the modern composite orchestral style was approached. In course of time the mere blank holding notes were transformed into more definite types of figure and melodic and rhythmic passages which were each apt 126 Johann vSebastian Bach for the instrument which had to play them; and the highes...t ideal of modern orchestral style is that in which all the different instruments supply such elements of effect as they are best fitted to supply, in the terms that are best adapted to their capabilities of diction. This entails polyphonic treatment, and thus practically returns to the principles of J. S. Bach, but with this difference — that the things which the different instru- ments now have to do are specially consonant with their aptitudes, and not, as in J. S. Bach's works, mere general types of figure or passage which were made to serve for all instruments alike.
