What reading level is Musical Memories; My Recollections of Celebrities of the Half Century, 1850-1900 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The treasurer of the Astor Place Opera House kicked him out of his office because of his insult- ing manner. Theodore Thomas has told me of his diffi- culties with him when he conducted opera for him in 1857. In 1852 he wrote a pamphlet, called " Ten Years of Music in the United States," in which he coarsely abused the American people for their admira- tion of the dollar. One would have supposed from this pamphlet that UUman had devoted himself to art purely for art's sake, when in reality he h...ad devoted himself to art for the dollar's sake, and was incensed against the people because they had not given him more of their dollars. I met him only once or twice, as he was not a frequent visitor to Chicago, but upon these occasions 11 162 MUSICAL MEMORIES he was the most unprepossessing of all the impresarios in his personal manners and unendurable pretensions.
It is pleasant to turn from him to Maurice Strakosch, who was a good musician, an honorable impresario, and a courteous man of the world.
