What reading level is More Mastersingers Studies in the Art of Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The result of this ambiguity of the musical idiom is that a great deal is left to the individual temperament. And this, again, is one of the great charms of music, because each listener will, or ought to, interpret the music in accordance with his own particular individuality. What music can express is a mental atmo- sphere or, as we say, a frame of mind. The contemplation of certain ideas produces in the composer a certain frame of mind, to which he gives expression in his music ; and that ind...uces in the listener the same frame of mind, which suggests to him, not necessarily the same images which inspired it in the composer, but the set of [ 157 ] THE MUSICIAN images which are most closely associated in the hearer's personality with the frame of mind which has been induced. To take an elementary example : the composer contemplates the clouds on a still summer afternoon, and writes a tranquil open-air piece of music. I hear it and receive an extremely definite open-air impression ; but that open-air tranquillity being in my mind, through youthful associations perhaps, or for any one out of a dozen reasons, associated with trees, it is perhaps large masses of trees and shadows of leafy green foliage that are suggested to me when I hear the music played.
