What reading level is Modern Mysticism And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of all things, music should never pose, should never bewilder the senses by meanings and motives hidden under a veil of theoretical /2 PARSIFALITIS uncertainty. The greater part of the music of Parsifal belongs to the domain of psycho- logical experiment. And as it is impossible for obscure thought to take a plastic and ex- ternal configuration, so it is impossible to produce a regular and artistic form by the methods employed by the master in this work. In Parsifal, Wagner attempted to depict ...sentiments and emotions, as they come and go, with the rapidity of thought. In the short space of a few seconds he tries to express in music precisely what is supposed to pass in the mind of Parsifal or Kundry. Love, passion, frenzy, hope, malice, despair, he attempts to transfix by orchestral means, each chord vary- ing in a multitudinous flow of sound, seldom halting long enough on any one idea for the listener to fix a definite form in his mind. All this is highly instructive from a psychological point of view; it is interesting as a meta- physical study, but it is not inspiration.
