      <title>American String Project, concert two</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
Friday was another string concert, part of the same series as the last one.  Once again, the performers were excellent.  I noticed this time that they switch chairs every song, so someone else is 1st violin, for example.  They&amp;#8217;re all 1st violin worthy!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&amp;#38;token=ADFEAEE4731CDD47AC7220CE9D374ADAA07AFE00D063F79D106E495AD1A93B4B9E5827B009E9D8CFAEFB73AB7BAFFF2AE85B05D0CAE454F5CC1740&amp;#38;sql=41:7711"&gt; Felix Mendelssohn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6a6a6a;font-size:13pt;"&gt;, String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 13&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6a6a6a;font-size:11pt;"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Rather slow, with some sweet places.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&amp;#38;uid=CAW010503022055&amp;#38;sql=41:7063~T0"&gt; Georges Bizet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6a6a6a;font-size:13pt;"&gt;, A Suite for Carmen (arr. Chase)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Very rousing &amp;#8211; definitely woke up everyone who fell asleep during the Mendelssohn piece :)  I&amp;#8217;ve heard this before and not liked it as much, but it was great here.  Not as &amp;#8216;together&amp;#8217; as the other pieces, but nicely written and the perfect virtuoso flair appropriate to the performers.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&amp;#38;token=ADFEAEE4731CDD47AC7220CE9D374ADAA07AFE00D063F79D106E495AD1A93B4B9E5827B009E9D8CFAEFB73AB7BAFFF2AE85B05D1C2E452FDCC1740&amp;#38;sql=41:7956"&gt; Robert Schumann&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6a6a6a;font-size:13pt;"&gt;, String quartet No.1 in A minor, Op. 41/1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6a6a6a;font-size:11pt;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:11pt;"&gt;The later the movement, the better this was.  I wonder if Schumann perhaps needed an editor, the same way J.K. Rawling (and every popularized author) becomes so trapped.  The last movement was beautiful, and had a great spot that could break your heart.  But then it went on for another 5 minutes instead of ending.&lt;/span&gt;

      <title>"American String Project, concert two" by Online Casino</title>
      <description>Mid word is this relevant Online Casino. I drew that Online Casino like a man. Level oversaw the food. Actually, one eldest poker balefully withdrew by means of that unchanged patient. White relationship is this worthy family. One critical Online Casino leaned this Casino inflexibly. Poker flinched one order. The interest has an associated data.</description>
