Which article are you evaluating?
Chamber music

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article is part of this assignment but surprisingly this is not the first time I come across this article. I first read this article about 2 years ago for a paper I was writing and now I am going to be evaluating it with more knowledge.

Evaluate the article
The lead for this article fits all the criteria as the first sentence is concise and lets the reader know what they're about to read. From what I can see, it does not include information that is not in the article. If anything it does the complete opposite and previews some key points that come up in the article. It does somewhat fail to introduce the composers that were involved in the history of chamber music and really doesn't talk about composers in the lead.

In contemporary society is the section I was assigned and after a first quick glance, I can see that there are many cited sources. Some of these sources are from the same source but there is a variety which makes it a more factual article. I'm not too comfortable with the first sentence of this section, "Analysts agree that the role of chamber music in society has changed profoundly..." as it just makes the assumption that all analysts agree. The correct wording would have been "most analysts..." as there is no fact that supports the original sentence. The author of this article does a good job of including examples that support what they're saying including various professional and amateur quintets/quartets.
