Module 4 Music Section Ⅳ Other Parts of the Module[原文呈现][读文清障] Street MusicIt's a warm Saturday afternoon in a busy side road① in the old district of Barcelona
The pedestrians② are standing in a semicircle③ around someone or something in front of the cathedral④
I push my way through⑤ the crowd and find a quartet⑥ of musicians playing a violin suite⑦ of classical music⑧
Thesession⑨ lasts ten minutes
Then one of the musicians picks up⑩ a saucer⑪ on the ground, and asks for money
All contributions⑫ are voluntary⑬, no one has to pay, but the crowd shrinks⑭⑮as some people slide away ⑯
But others happily throw in a few coins
They're grateful for this brief interval⑰ of music as they go shopping⑱
Below the window of my apartment in Paris, a music man takes a place⑲ made vacant⑳
