For our Capstone project, we were supposed to write a list of twenty questions and post it...a very long time ago. Needless to say I forgot and now I have a pretty bad grade because I am really behind on a ton of things. Well here are a few questions I have about string quartets, just anything I wanted to know about a string quartet I am putting down for the blog.
