What reading level is The Great Italian And French Composers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Halevy's powerful sense of the dra- matic always influenced his methods and sympa- thies. Not being a composer of creative imagina- tion, however, the melodramatic element is more prominent than the purely tragic or comic. His music shows remarkable resources in the produc- tion of brilliant and captivating though always tasteful effects, which rather please the senses and the fancy than stir the heart and imagination. Here and there scattered through his works, nota- bly so in " La Juive, " ar...e touches of emotion and grandeur ; but Halevy must be characterized as a composer who is rather distinguished for the bril- liancy, vigor, and completeness of his art than for the higher creative power, Avhich belongs in such preeminent degree to men like Rossini and Weber, or even to Auber, Meyerbeer, and Gounod. It is nevertheless true that Halevy composed works which will retain a high rank in French art. " La Juive, " " Guido, " " La Reine de Chypre, " and " Charles VI. " are noble lyric dramas, full of beauties, though it is said they can never be seen to the best advantage off the French stage.
