What reading level is The Oxford History of Music volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Which seem to characterize it as belonging in its origin to a period antecedent to the settle- ment of notation, we may chiefly refer to the apparent ignorance of the writer with respect to the figures sine proprietate, which as we saw were adopted by the later mensuralists in order to assist in the expression of certain modal rhythms, and to avoid the necessity of employing the same figure for different pur- poses. The MS. Contains apparently no example of this kind of figure, and the writer's... intention seems to be conveyed throughout by means of the old ligatures cum proprietate et perfections, used either simply in their iambic and anapaestic sense, or with a shifted accent to indicate the trochaic and dactylic measures. The date of the actual invention of the figures sine proprietate is uncertain ; so far as is known at present they make their first appearance in the treatises of Jean de Garlande and of Pseudo-Aristotle, whose period, as we have seen, may perhaps be said to coincide with the first quarter of the thirteenth century.
