Tips

memory
Literal calque of the European term: 室内 (indoor / in a room) + (music). Originally chamber music was court music played in private aristocratic rooms, distinct from church or theater music — the Chinese name preserves that exact distinction.
mistakes
Read as yuè (music) here, NOT lè (happy). The standard musical-term reading.
