What reading level is The Art of Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He groups variations together in accordance with their affinities, and distributes the different moods so as to illustrate one another, and to make a complete composite design. The texture of his work as a whole is far more poly- phonic than that of his predecessors, and illustrates the tendency of the time to revert to the methods of Bach, in the free motion of the bass and the internal organisation of the harmony — adapting the methods at the same time to the system of harmonic form. The case... is parallel to the reversion to the methods of the old ecclesiastical music after the Florentine revolution of I'eri and Monte- verde. But the counterpoint is by no means that of Bach; it is less ostensible, and the various inner parts and figures that move are kept in relative subordination in accordance with their relative degrees of importance. Music by this means regained an immensely enhanced power of expression of the highest kind. The harmony not only became more interesting and rich, but very much more powerful at the moments when powerful discord was required; and at the same time it aflbrded much more delicate gradations of degrees of harshness.
