What reading level is Purcell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were written for such special occasions, forinstance, as the King's return all the way to London from Windsor, oreven Newmarket, or the birthday of a Queen, and in one case the birthdayof a six-year-old Duke. They consist of overtures, songs, choruses, etc. With one or two exceptions, the structure is Purcell's ordinary. What that structure was we shall see (once for all) in examining some ofthe later compositions, the only difference observable in the laterworks being, on the whole, an in...creased richness and greater breadth ofscheme. They are nearly always brilliant, often incisive; there are mostlovely melodies; and there are numerous specimens of Purcell's power ofwriting music, endless in its variety of outline and colour and changingsentiment, on a ground-bass--_i. E. _, a bass passage repeated over andover again until the piece is finished. The instrumentation must havebeen largely dictated by the instruments placed at his disposal, thoughwe must remember that in days when it was an everyday occurrence for, say, an oboist to play from the violin part save in certain passages, even an apparently complete score is no secure guide as to what thecomposer meant, and as to how the piece was given under his direction.
