refers to other concerts that have been held
again talking to people that know about the
concerts as well as informing those that

who buy the magazine often
or are involved with this
genre of music. Words such as
maestro and virtuosity
show this as well as showing
the age of the audience. This
shows the age, as the words
themselves require an
amount of experience to be
able to read them smoothly
through a text. Also the words

use of any controversial language and the use of music terms
show that the article is well articulated and educated. The

informal tone along with controversial and/or colloquial
language.

The article refers to a place, which it thinks its

audience will know about. It does give some
explanation to the place however only the parts
that are relevant to the article, the rest isnt
mentioned as they o presume the audience will
know the rest of it and so the explanation is more
of a way to get the audience to focus on a
particular part of the place straight away rather
than them having to take the time to figure out
what part they are talking about.

The article doesnt go on a ramble about

the person the article is about. It sticks
to the point, providing information and
personal opinion of the person in
question and so doesnt reveal anything
more than what is needed. This means
that the language does not have any
juicy gossip which the audience of this
magazine would appreciate as they are
here to learn more about the music, how
the person is good at what they play and
what sort of brand of instruments the
person uses/ likes so that they can use it
to inform them of the type of instrument
they should be buying for themselves or
maybe their child.

The article starts with a drop cap. This

means that the reader can find the start
of the text without being confused by
the other columns of text. For this
audience they are fine with this amount
text so there are several columns of text
which is why the drop cap is needed.
