Transition from Classical to Romantic music

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to a class I am taking called "Late Baroque Through Romantic Period". This article matters because it talks about how the Classical music era became the Romantic music era. My initial impression of the article was that it looked accurate and and true.

Evaluate the article
Everything in this article was relevant to the topic. Nothing really distracted me from the main topic. Some of the information came from sources that date back to 1952 and 1970. I think more information could be added as more information has been discovered over the years. I feel as though this article was a little underrepresented and could have more information in it.

This article has a good neutral tone and does not show any bias towards either the Classical or Romantic musical eras. I believe that the author could have touched a little more on the characteristics of Classical era music and the differences of between Classical and Romantic.

All of the source links work and these sources support the topic and claims in the article. The information for this article comes from reputable sources such as JSTOR, W. W. Norton, Encyclopedia Britannica, CMUSE, etc. One link from ISSUU did not work because the article no longer exists on that website. All of these sources are neutral and hold non-biased opinions. These sources are pretty diverse from one another, the author of this article used about two sources from each publication.

This article talks about the transition from the Classical music era to the Romantic musical era. They briefly discuss important pieces that contribute to the transition of these eras. This article was well rated and was also apart of a WikiProject. Wikipedia discusses this topic in a way we haven't in class by providing ways in which these two important musical eras transitioned from one to the other through examples of music pieces.
