What reading level is The Pianoforte Sonata book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is perhaps wellthat he did not carry out his idea of furnishing the clue to thepoetic idea underlying his sonatas. It would, of course, have beenhighly interesting to know the sources of his inspirations, but it isterrible to think of the consequences which would have ensued. Composers would have imitated him, and those lacking genius would havemade themselves and their art ridiculous. Berlioz went to extremes, but his genius saved him; and Schumann, a true poet, though inclinedto superscrip...tions, kept within very reasonable lines.
It was undoubtedly this poetic basis that so affected the form ofBeethoven's sonatas. The little romances by which Haydn spurred hisimagination were as children's tales compared with the deep thoughts, the tragic events, and the masterpieces of Plato, Shakespeare, andGoethe, which in Beethoven sharpened feeling and intensified thought. The great sonatas of Beethoven are not mere cunningly-devised pieces, not mere mood-painting; they are real, living dramas.
