The Alexander String Quartet was performed well altogether, to say the least. I came to like the second piece, String Quartet in A minor, Op. 41, No. 1 composed by Robert Schumann,  the most. I believe the specific piece is called Adagio, which was performed by four professional musicians. There were total of four instruments used, the viola, the cello, and the two violins. The sound was rather relaxing yet very serious as the piece heightened. It sounded to me like a dramatic scene in a movie that was tragic or appalling.

Traveling from Staten Island to Baruch College, I always get to see at least 2 street performances. This is why most of the time I end up with no change for my bag of chips or the extra dollar to buy myself a drink between breaks. It's because I love the street performers and performances so much, I am bound to give them some support/ contribution (money). Whether the the performers are playing an instrument, doing magic tricks, dancing, or singing, they're usually not given the attention as they deserve, which upsets me many times.

I wish I knew French while watching Quartett. If I did, I would have been able to concentrate on the actors more as well as understand the content further. I did notice the performers moved very subtly to the music and made sudden movements and gestures according to the music, as learned that Muller followed the score of each music piece. Also, the text itself was amazingly well thought out in making the adultery and hatred and love, smash together at the center of the character's dialogues and monologues; least to say, I loved the entire play.

What was extremely interesting about each poet was their different backgrounds and what influenced them into writing poetry. The first poet, named Khadijah Queen, came to love poetry when she was in her undergraduate college, studying Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound, which I have studied in High School as well.
