Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because it had lots of content for me to sift through to determine whether or not the said content needs to be developed, simplified, challenged, or better sourced.

The lead begins strongly, stating the name of the musician, his birth and death date, and some background on where he came from and what he did for a career. However, the third paragraph could be pushed later into the article, perhaps the "Teacher and Organist" section, because the first sentence of the lead already specifies that he was an organist, so the article should talk about that in more detail later.

Some content does not need to be written in a few sections. For example, in the "Child and Student" section, after mentioning Cesar Franck's father, the article goes on a tangent about Franck's father for one whole paragraph, when really there could just be a link to Nicolas-Joseph Franck's wiki page in case the reader is interested in learning more about him.

From what I can see, there are no spelling or grammatical errors.

As for sources and references, there are a numerous amount of quotes that have no reference or source attached. A few of the sources are a little old, maybe around 60 to 70 or more years old.

The images provided help you visualize what kind of place Franck lived in and who he interacted with. It also helps the story of Franck feel more tangible. Knowing that Franck was indeed another human like anyone else might help a reader feel more involved and interested in the article.

Overall Impressions - There is a lot of content, however, come content should be trimmed down to better focus on Cesar Franck, and some content needs to be fit with a reference or source. As for the completeness of the article, it is off to a good start, but there is plenty of room to evolve and grow, particularly in trimming excess fluff.
