Test: ISEE Lower Level Reading
My dear old friend Sebastian used to tell me that he had something of a sliding scale regarding the musicians to which he could listen. For him, Bach was the most celestial of musicians, and he could listen to him for an eternity without ever being wearied. Mozart was likewise favorably judged, though Sebastian said that he could only endure his music for approximately three to five hours at a time. When it came to Richard Wagner, however, my dear friend was quite unable to bear the intensity of the composer’s works. In stark contrast to his great patience and love for the music of Bach, he could spend little more than five minutes listening to compositions by Wagner.
| 1. | Based on what this paragraph states, what would Sebastian likely think of the very overpowering musical movement "Mars" by Gustav Holst? |
He would likely enjoy it for a time at least.
He would like it as much as he likes Bach.
He would love such a moving and inspiring piece of music.
He would like it less than he likes Mozart but more than he likes Wagner.
He would likely not enjoy listening to it.
