Evaluate the article
Overall: The article contains information relevant to the topic, and is up to date. It does not seem to have any equity gaps and any improvement that could be made would be very small; since it is already an article that has been edited by many, there likely isn't much for me to do here. The article is neutral. The links work and the bibliography is diverse. The discussion as of late includes thinking about adding a repertoire list (the idea was ultimately decided, no) and organization. There is even questions about the spelling and correct usage of a word.

Lead: The lead is concise, specific with its wording and easily gets the point across in such a way that would allow non-musicians to understand what chamber music is. It includes a quote from a composer regarding the chamber music, and it is neutral. All citations are ... well, cited.

Franz Schubert: I wonder if this section seems a bit opinionated, if only due to the word choice. Schubert is defined as "exemplary" and as a "darling" of Viennese society. I wonder if there are sources that also confirm this, or if this is the opinion of a Wikieditor? Additionally, the use of German words with the definitions hyperlinked, instead of English or a brief definition of parenthesis breaks up the flow of reading. Also, the first paragraph does not have any citations. Overall, this section could be more well-written in that citations could be added, and biases removed.
