Lead Section

In my opinion, the lead section in the String Quartets Op. 33 by Haydn has a pretty good amount of information. It is not too brief but also not giving too many details. This lead section is completed the purpose of the first paragraph in wikipedia article. In my opinion, this lead section is actually giving a perfect enough amount of information that the readers need to know briefly before dive-in deeply into the content.

Content

Inside the content is very relevant to the topic since the topic is the String Quartets Op. 33 by Haydn, all the content is the Haydn String Quartet from no. 1 - 6 from the Op.33. The author also put an excerpt of each movements from each quartets in the content. However, the content could have more detail in explanation and description. In each quartets, there is not much wording or describing why the author giving those excerpt to the reader. It's just there and it seems like we just need to see it and understand why the author put it and what he or she is trying to deliver. The only explanation that the author gives is to the most famous quartet which is the "joke" quartet. In my opinion, this is a big missing part of this article.

Tone and Balance

Since there is much wording in this article, it is quite neutral from what the author explains. I think this article is not biased and not having a heavy point of view from one side.

Sources and References

In my opinion, the sources that the author puts under the "notes" are all a well chosen sources. They're all books that I've heard or I've used for my music history class. I think the article really backed up by a good sources and no doubt on the information that the author put. The links that are available in the article page also works well and everything seems working perfectly normal.

Organization and Writing Quality

As far as I notice, the writing quality is good and not any grammatical issue from what I can understand as an English Second Language speaker. I really like how the author organized the section per the quartet number very clearly. In addition, the author also put the excerpt for each movements of each quartets very neat and organize.

Image and Media

All the image captures for the little excerpt for each quartet and movements are really nicely done and not weirdly cut. The image quality also pretty good and we can read well every label in the music.

Talk page discussion

The talk page discussion has not much going on in it. The conversation that's going on is mostly about the naming of the Haydn quartets and about the "joke" quartet itself.

Overall impression:

The overall article is derived the correct purpose of informing the readers about general information for the String Quartets Op. 33 by Haydn. The breaking down of each quartets and movements are not quite good since most of the quartets only have the excerpts but not much explanation. However, the author did a great job on explaining the "joke" quartet 4th movement, which is the only quartet and the only movement that got that much explanation. I think this article has so much more potential to develop and give more information to readers. Currently, it is still in poor-developed article I could say especially for a set of quartet that becomes one of the most remarkable works from Haydn.
