What reading level is The Story of Organ Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Fugue is an earlier work, and is of less interest than the Prelude. The remaining numbers in this volume, like the Prelude, No. 6, also date from his Leipsic period — that is to say, from the time of the com- plete maturity of his powers. They are ** stupendous creations, in which are embodied the highest qualities that Bach could put into this branch of art."^ The only exception is in the Prelude in A minor. No. 8, which is an earlier work, and reflects Buxtehude's manner. The C major Fugu...e, No. 7 of this volume, reminds us of PachelbePs chorale-fugue form, for the pedals, after being silent till near the end, make their first entry as the fifth voice, in an augmentation of the theme.
The first two numbers of Volume III., the Prelude and Fugue in E flat, and the great Toccata in F, also belong to the Leipsic period. The Fugue in E flat, known in England as **the St. Ann Fugue," from the fortuitous resemblance of its subject to the first line of the hymn tune of that name, is in three sections, as in the old Italian model, and its three fugues are intimately con- nected in a most ingenious way ; for in the second and third, the theme of the first comes in, now above, now below, not rigidly and stifily, but modified with con- summate art, in order to conceal the artifice, and blended with the new fugues, while retaining its own individuality.
