What reading level is The Philosophy of Music; a Comparative Investigation Into the Principles of Musical Aesthetics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Strength in literary expression means that the style is concise, direct; the thought is set forth in plain terms without circumlocution or excess of figure.
MELODY 109 In models of strength every word is an arch-stone ; to take one away not only leaves a gap, but it weakens the whole superstructure. In such a style there is no surplus of verbiage, but the thought stands out clear and distinct, strong in its simplicity and untram- meled with ornament or needless detail.
The same principles apply
... in musical composi- tions: the facts just given are principles of style, true not merely in literature, but for .any thought ex- pressed in symbolic form. In music as in literature there is a thought to be expressed: that the idea in one case is conceptual, in the other musical, does not alter this primary fact. Notes, it is needless to say, can be multiplied as well as words. And ornamenta- tion is common to the two arts. A musical thought, therefore, can be expressed concisely or otherwise as well as a conceptual thought.
