What reading level is Lives of Celebrated Musicians Beethoven book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

This piece, which was originally called Leonora, had small success when first produced on the stage. Indeed it may be said to have failed, for it was withdrawn after the third representation. Two years afterwards it was determined to revive it, and two of Beethoven's friends, who took a strong interest in its success, undertook to remodel the libretto, the faults of which had contributed much to the failure of the piece. But changes in the text demand- ed changes in the music ; and curtailments..., too, were necessary. Curtailments ! who should be bold enough to propose curtailments to Beethoven ?
By way of managing this ticklish matter, Prince Lichnowsky had a little meeting at his house to try over the music, and consider what changes were requi- site. Besides the Prince and Princess, the party con- sisted of Messrs Collin and Breuning, the friends who had revised the libretto, the tenor singer Reeckel, * the bass singer Meyer, and the composer. At first Beet- hoven stood firm and defended his music bar by bur, without, however, losing his temper.
