What reading level is The Life And Works of Robert Schumann book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The following year (1850) gave us a few songs (Op. ^*?, 83, 89, 90), in no way superior to those of the preceding year; a "Concerto for Violoncello " (Op. 129) which, like the " Concert- Allegro for Piano and Orchestra " (Op. 92), contained all the defects mentioned in reference to the " A minor Concerto," as well as many fine features ; and another work of monumental importance, the " Symphony in E flat major " (Op. 97), first performed, under the composer's own direction, at Düsseldorf, on th...e 6th of February, 1851. In the late summer of 1850 he had been invited to become the municipal director of music in Düsseldorf, and this change in his outward circumstances exercised the most favourable influence upon his productions. This is particularly noticeable in the third symphony, to which we 204 THE LIFE AND WORKS OF E. SCHUMANN. have just alluded. The fourth movement was directly- inspired by the festivities on the occasion of the preferment of the Archbishop of G-eissel to the see of Cologne; in Schumann's own words, he " preserved the character of a solemn ceremony in the accompaniment." This symphony is a fresh proof that he was still able to recover his old power of construction whenever he worked under the influence of a distinct and clearly conscious idea, or of a plainly defined form.
