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

The kind of subjects in which all parts make their appearance at once, and all are equally essential to its character, was a very difficult one to achieve. Even in later times subjects are often met with which are merely tunes with MODERN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC 353 artificially sophisticated accompaniment. The perfect, ideal subject, in which every part seems inevitable, is the prerogative of only the strongest composers in their most musical moments. The relation of subject to development was noth...ing like so important in early days as it became later, but Corelli never- theless shows the genuineness of his instinct by occasionally hitting off an idea which is neither fugal nor mere harmoniza- tion. The church sonatas naturally present more of the contrapuntal methods, since they were the methods most available for carrying out the intellectual elements which are necessary in such serious abstract forms of art. In the chamber sonatas he was on the crest of the wave of contemporary progress, and presented his material with all the modernity possible in those days.
