What reading level is The History of Music. 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


This instrument is always played by the musician in a sitting posture, with the legs crossed in Oriental fashion. An enumeration of the various off- shoots from the Kemengeh would exceed the limits prescribed, and I shall therefore confine my remarks to an instrument called Marraba, having but one string, the sounding body of which is covered with the skin of an animal, serving thus the double purpose of drum and violin.

...l Lute.
Among the Turkish stringed instruments with narrow necks, the Lute stands pre-eminent. The use of this instrument spread as far as Japan in the East, and Portugal in the West. It was called by the Arabs L'End, or El And, from which the Spanish Laudo and the Italian Liuto are derived. The Oriental lute (Figs. 75 and 76) originally had four strings, which by degrees were subsecpiently increased to fourteen. It is some- times played with a steel plectrum, and sometimes with the quill of an eagle.
