Evaluate the article
The lead paragraph's topic sentence is very clear in describing what a chamber group is so that even a non-musician can understand. The following lead section is both an overview and also goes more in-depth to interest the reader. The rest of the article is very in-depth in writing about many aspects of chamber music and covers a wide range of its history as well as significant composers and their works for chamber music. The section covering chamber music in modern society begins with a good attention-grabbing topic sentence. The lead paragraph in this section is great because it presents two points different points of view on whether chamber music is still being played in the home or people are not playing it in the home as much because listening to music is much more available and easier to do. This section also presents an interesting point about theorizing about the age demographic of chamber music players, which is not something I'd say musicians normally think about. This section's last major point of interest shows the evolution of this article's original definition of chamber music, in that chamber music has now evolved to be played on the stage rather than in the privacy of people's homes. This is a trustworthy article because of the amount of varying sources in the notes and bibliography sections and is also a great stepping off point for someone to do more of their own research since chamber music is such a large topic.
