Explanation:

The style of a text depends on the language and words used, the tone and the general structure of the text which is closely linked to the purpose of the author and the audience. For example, in the case of a text that is addressed to expert pianists, it is expected the text is about playing piano and it includes jargon related to this field or words only experts can understand.

This occurs in the case of option 3, because this focuses on specific skills and techniques of playing piano and includes words such as "chromatic scales", "arpeggios" or "fortissimo" that are unique of this field, which means the style of the text in terms of structure and words use makes it appropriate for expert pianists.
