paragraph: Ludwig Schuncke

paragraph: Christian Ludwig Schuncke (21 December 18107 December 1834) was a German pianist and composer, and close friend of Robert Schumann. His early promise was eclipsed by his death from tuberculosis at the age of 23.

paragraph: He was generally known as Ludwig, and that name also appears as Louis in some references. His surname appears as either Schuncke or Schunke.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ludwig Schuncke was born in Kassel in 1810. His father and first teacher Johann Gottfried Schuncke (1777–1840), and his uncle Johann Michael Schuncke (1778-1821), were both professional horn players.

paragraph: He demonstrated his talents very early, and they were encouraged. In March 1822, aged only 11, he performed Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 85, under the direction of Louis Spohr. He then went on a concert tour of Germany. Carl Maria von Weber expressed his approval of Schuncke’s early compositions.

paragraph: In 1828, he was one of the four pianists who played Henri Bertini's transcription of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony for eight hands, the others being Bertini himself, Franz Liszt and Sowinsky.

paragraph: He went to Paris for study, where his main teachers were Friedrich Kalkbrenner, Anton Reicha and Henri Herz, and where he also had friendships with people such as Hector Berlioz, Sigismond Thalberg and Johann Peter Pixis. In Paris, he made his living by demonstrating Duport pianos, and he also lived in Duport's household. After completing his studies, he returned to Germany. In Stuttgart, he made the acquaintance of Frédéric Chopin after hearing him perform his Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor. Schuncke dedicated his Capriccio in C minor, Op.10, to Chopin. He then moved to Vienna, Prague and Dresden, appearing in concert, before finally settling in Leipzig in December 1833. He lived in a boarding house and his room was next door to that of Robert Schumann, whose very close friend he became. Schuncke was one of the co-founders of the "Neue Zeitschrift für Musik", and one of its early contributors, under the pseudonym "Jonathan". He was also a member of Schumann's "Davidsbund".

paragraph: Schuncke dedicated his "Grande Sonate in G minor", Op. 3, to Schumann, who greatly admired the work, and in turn dedicated his Toccata in C major, Op. 7, to Schuncke on its publication in 1834. In a letter dated 4 September 1834, Schumann wrote that his whole wealth could be summed up in three names: Henriette Voigt, Ernestine von Fricken and Ludwig Schuncke.

paragraph: Schumann's "Carnaval", Op. 9, had its origin in a set of variations on a "Sehnsuchtswalzer" by Franz Schubert. The catalyst for the variations may have been a work for piano and orchestra on the same theme by Schuncke (his Op. 14). Schumann felt that Schuncke's heroic treatment was an inappropriate reflection of the tender nature of the Schubert piece, so he set out to approach his variations in a more intimate way, for piano solo. He worked on the piece in 1833 and 1834. The work was never completed, however, but he did re-use the opening 24 measures for the opening of "Carnaval".

paragraph: Schuncke helped Schumann through his crisis of 1833-34, in which he had a serious depressive illness leading to a suicide attempt, and his brother and sister-in-law both died. Schumann in turn nursed Schuncke through his own final illness. Ludwig Schuncke died on 7 December 1834, two weeks before his 24th birthday, of tuberculosis. He is buried in the Alter Johannisfriedhof in Leipzig. Schumann forever after kept Schuncke's death bed portrait in his own study, in a gallery of pictures hung above his piano.

paragraph: Section::::Schuncke's music.

paragraph: Although their approaches sometimes differed, Schuncke and Schumann influenced each other to a significant degree. This can be seen in the following example, where an excerpt from Schuncke's "Grande Sonate" in G minor could easily be played alongside an excerpt from Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor.

paragraph: Section::::Recorded legacy.

paragraph: Jozef De Beenhouwer was the first to perform Schuncke's "Grande Sonate in G minor", Op. 3, which has also been recorded by Mario Patuzzi and Gregor Weichert. (His name is shown on Patuzzi's and Weichert's albums as "Christian L. Schunke" and "Louis Schuncke" respectively.)

He was inactive for the team's 28–24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:2015 season.

paragraph: White emerged onto the national scene during Week 11 with a three-touchdown performance (two rushing, one receiving) in a 20–13 victory over the Buffalo Bills on "Monday Night Football" after starting running back Dion Lewis was out for the season with a torn ACL. He finished the game with 14 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards. The win pushed the Patriots' record to 10–0 for the season.

In Week 5, which was Brady's return from suspension from Deflategate, White caught four passes for 63 yards in a 33-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. In a 35-17 Week 6 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals, White caught two touchdown passes from Tom Brady, a 15-yard and a six-yard while recording a team-high eight receptions for 47 yards and rushing seven times for 19 yards.

He scored three touchdowns and a two-point conversion, setting a record for points in a Super Bowl, with 20. All of those points came after the Patriots trailed 28–3 midway through the third quarter. Danny Amendola's two-point conversion following White's second touchdown tied the game at 28, sending the Super Bowl to overtime for the first time ever. During overtime, White delivered the game-winning play by rushing two yards into the end zone for a touchdown as the Patriots won 34–28, becoming the first team in 134 tries to win when trailing by more than 17 points after 3 quarters in a postseason game (the Patriots trailed by 19).

paragraph: Theodor Nöldeke

paragraph: Theodor Nöldeke (born March 2, 1836 in Harburg, (Hamburg today), died December 25, 1930 in Karlsruhe) was a German orientalist and scholar. His research interests ranged over Old Testament studies, Semitic languages and Arabic, Persian and Syriac literature. Nöldeke translated several important works of oriental literature and during his lifetime was considered an important orientalist. He wrote numerous studies (including on the Qur’ān) and contributed articles to the Encyclopædia Britannica.

paragraph: Among the projects Nöldeke collaborated on was Michael Jan de Goeje’s published edition of al-Tabari's "Tarikh" ("Universal History"), for which he translated the Sassanid-era section. This translation remains of great value, particularly for the extensive supplementary commentary.

paragraph: His numerous students included Charles Cutler Torrey, Louis Ginzberg and Friedrich Zacharias Schwally. He entrusted Schwally with the continuation of his standard work "The History of the Qur’ān".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In 1853 Nöldeke graduated from the Gymnasium Georgianum Lingen, Emsland, and went on to study at the University of Göttingen under Heinrich Ewald, and later at the University of Vienna, the University of Leiden and the Humboldt University of Berlin. In 1864 he became a professor at the University of Kiel and from 1872 at the University of Strasbourg until he retired aged 70.

paragraph: Section::::Nöldeke Chronology.

paragraph: The Nöldeke Chronology is a "canonical ordering" of the 114 suras of the Qur'an according to the sequence of revelation. Intended to aid theological, literary, and historical scholarship of Qur'anic exegesis by enhancing structural coherence. The Nöldeke Chronology has been adopted for general guidance by some schools of current scholarship.The Egyptian Edition, crafted 1924, is an adaptation of Nöldeke's work. Nöldeke considered the suras from the perspective of content and stylistic development and linguistic origination to rearrange them in historical sequence of revelation. According to his system Sura 21: “The Prophets,” - 21st of 114 suras in the Qur'an - is renumbered '65'. His chronology further divided the suras into two periods: The Meccan (in three phases), and the Medina.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Group 1. First Meccan Period (48 Suras ): Surahs 96; 74; 111; 106; 108; 104; 107; 102; 105; 92; 90; 94; 93; 97; 86; 91; 80; 68; 87; 95; 103; 85; 73; 101; 99; 82; 81; 53; 84; 100; 79; 77; 78; 88; 89; 75; 83; 69; 51; 52; 56; 70; 55; 112; 109; 113; 114; 1

paragraph: Staurakios

paragraph: Staurakios or Stauracius (; After 778 – 11 January 812AD) was Byzantine Emperor from 26 July to 2 October 811. He was born some time after 778AD, to Nikephoros I and an unknown woman. Nikephoros seized the throne of the Byzantine Empire from Irene of Athens in 802, and elevated Staurakios to co-emperor in December 803. After Nikephoros fell in the Battle of Pliska on 26 July 811, Staurakios was declared emperor, despite his severe injuries. However, due to these injuries his reign was short, he was usurped by his brother-in-law, Michael I Rangabe, on 2 October 811, after which he was sent to live in a monastery, where he stayed until he died of gangrene on 11 January 812.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Staurakios was born sometime after 778AD, to Nikephoros I and an unknown woman. Nikephoros had been a "logothetēs tou genikou " (finance minister) before he revolted against Byzantine Empress Irene, and seized the throne for himself. He was one of the few "strong emperors" who had not previously been a general, although it is considered likely that he had some military training, because he led armies into the field. Nikephoros consolidated power towards the throne, instituted caesaropapism, and strict fiscal laws. For these reasons, he was hated by many, especially the contemporary ecclesiastical historians, who are the main source of history for his reign, leading many historians to doubt their assertions of his malevolent character.

paragraph: Staurakios was elevated to the status of co-emperor in December 803. Nikephoros put much effort into finding a suitable consort for Staurakios, and thus invited a large number of young noble women to the palace on 20 December 807. Theophano of Athens was selected, likely due to the fact that she was a kinsman of Irene, and therefore would help add legitimacy to both Nikephoros and Staurakios' rule. Nikephoros and Staurakios were generally successful in maintaining the borders of the Byzantine Empire, although they were not met with huge military success, occasionally being forced to make humiliating concessions to powerful enemies, such as the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid. In May 811, Nikephoros and Staurakios, alongside Michael Rhangabe, the Kouropalates and son-in-law of Nikephoros, led a campaign over the Haemus Mons into the Bulgarian Empire. The Byzantines were beaten decisively at the on 26 July 811, at the Battle of Pliska, where Nikephoros was slain, and much of his forces were destroyed.

paragraph: The remaining Byzantine forces retreated to Adrianople, including a severely wounded Staurakios. Staurakios spine had been severed during the battle, which along with Staurakios' lack of previous demonstrations of ability, led the three uninjured influential people who had travelled with Nikephoros and Staurakios, Magistros Theoktistos, Domestic of the Schools Stephanos, and Michael Rhangabe, to consider the issue of Nikephoros' successor. The severity of Staurakios' injury led to speculations as to whether he would live, although eventually they judged he would make the best candidate, as the legitimate successor, and declared him emperor. He was proclaimed emperor by the Byzantine Army at Adrianople sometime later, possibly 28 July. Almost immediately after Staurakios ascended the throne, Michael was pressured to usurp it, due to the legitimacy granted to him by his marriage to Staurakios' sister, Prokopia, and his military abilities. Theoktistos and others attempted to convince Michael to take the throne, although he repeatedly refused at this time.

paragraph: Staurakios was brought by litter to Constantinople. At this point the issue of Staurakios' successor was raised. Prokopia and many others backed Michael, whereas Theophano backed herself, hoping to take the throne in the same way that her kinsman Irene had. The only proof of such intrigues given by contemporary historians is records that Staurakios became hostile to Theoktistos, and Michael, which would suggest he was aware of their plottings, and Prokopia, who he suspected of conspiring to kill him. As Staurakios became more and more aware that his days were numbered, he wavered between two possible options for succession. The first, to make Theophano empress, and the second, attested in a ninth-century chronicle, to institute a form of imperial democracy. The second option is considered to be the machinations of an addled brain, if it did in fact happen. After hearing the two options Staurakios was considering, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Nikephoros I, aligned himself with Stephanos, Theoktistos, and Michael. On 1 September 811, Staurakios summoned Stephanos, whom he trusted wholly, likely due to the fact that Stephanos was the first to proclaim Staurakios emperor, to propose blinding Michael, who Staurakios was unaware had the support of Stephanos himself. Stephanos assured Staurakios of the strength of his position, and dissuaded him from having Michael blinded.

paragraph: The next day, on 2 October, Michael was proclaimed emperor by the senators at the Hippodrome of Constantinople. Staurakios, upon hearing the news, hastened to abdicate, to avoid being executed to prevent the possibility of Staurakios returning to retake the throne. He was tonsured and dressed in monastic garb by a monk named Simeon, who was a kinsman of his. He died of gangrene on 11 January 812, and was buried in the Monastery of Braka, which was given to Theophano by Prokopia.

There are collections of coins and local history, while the Painted Gallery contains a series of religious paintings. The Costume Gallery presents regularly changing displays of period dress.

paragraph: The house is much altered, but is a rare survival of Aberdeen's medieval burgh architecture. It is thought that George Skene commissioned the carved plaster ceilings in the 17th century. In an attic gallery a Renaissance painted ceiling, including strapwork decoration and religious scenes, was commissioned by a member of the Lumsden family.

paragraph: Rated a three star museum by the Scottish Tourist Board, the museum is free to the public.

paragraph: Edi Fitzroy

paragraph: Fitzroy Edwards (17 November 1955 – 4 March 2017), better known by his stage name Edi Fitzroy, was a Jamaican reggae singer, active from 1975 but best known for his work during the dancehall era.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Edwards was born on 17 November 1955 in Chapelton, Clarendon Parish, Jamaica, and attended Chapelton All-Age and Clarendon College. He was exposed to music from an early age via his father Vasco Edwards playing records for a sound system. After studying accounting at the West Indies Commercial Institute, he took a job as an accounts clerk with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation while also singing in his spare time. His recordings came to the attention of Mikey Dread, a radio presenter at the station, and with Dread's assistance he released his first single, "Miss Molly Colly", which was a top ten hit in Jamaica in 1978. Further hits followed and Fitzroy toured the United Kingdom with Dread in 1978, supporting The Clash.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In the early 1980s, Fitzroy worked with producers such as Lloyd Norris, and Trevor Elliot (who produced the singer's debut album "Youthman Penitentiary" (1982)). "Check For You Once" (1982) topped the Jamaican albums chart for four weeks. He performed at Reggae Sunsplash in 1984, returning in 1986, 1988, 1991, and 1993, and also performed at Sunsplash USA in 1988.

paragraph: Fitzroy's lyrics led to him becoming renowned as one of Jamaica's most socially conscious singers, with themes including equality for women, and he won a Rockers Award in 1984 for Most Conscious Performer for his "Princess Black" single that celebrates black women (which he wrote for his mother). He enjoyed a major Jamaican hit with "The Gun", and he contributed to the "Land of Africa" charity single in aid of the Ethiopia famine appeal, along with Gregory Isaacs, Freddie McGregor and others, and Fitzroy became a director (along with Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt, Michael "Ibo" Cooper, and Orville Tyson) of the Music Is Life organization, with the aim of making a more lasting contribution toward's Africa's plight.

paragraph: After the release of his 1993 album "Deep in Mi Culture", Fitzroy toured the United States with backing band Massawa. In the mid-1990s he started his own Confidence label to release his own material. He has been a regular performer at annual Peter Tosh memorial concerts in Jamaica. Only in the mid-1990s did he give up his day-job to pursue music as a full-time career.

paragraph: Although much of Fitzroy's work had been in an era when slack lyrics and digital rhythms have predominated, in the 1998 book "Reggae Island" he spelled out his preference for real musicians and "reality" lyrics:

paragraph: A. W. Piper

paragraph: A. W. Piper (1828 – November 11, 1904) was a Seattle, Washington pioneer whose name was given to Piper Orchard, Pipers Creek and Piper's Canyon in Carkeek Park, and who was elected in 1877–1878 a socialist Seattle City Council member. He owned a bakery known for its artistic confections that served Seattle and the Puget Sound region.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Piper was born in Kissingen, Bavaria around March 1826. He was educated as an artist, and emigrated to America in 1847 at age 19. In New Orleans he met Wilhelmina ("Minna") Hausman (June 1834 – 1930), who was from the Hanover area of Germany, and had come to America in 1853. The 1900 Census showed they had been married for 48 years, since around 1852, or else they were married a little later, in San Francisco in 1853, crossing the Isthmus of Panama to get to California. They lived in San Francisco for 20 years, and their first five children were born there. Piper attended the San Francisco Mechanics' Institute, receiving a certificate for "best specimens of ornamental sugar work" dated September 1857.

paragraph: By 1871 they were living in Victoria, British Columbia, where Piper was a confectioner on Government and Fort Streets. Three of the Piper's children were born in Victoria, and it was here that historian Thomas W. Prosch first met Piper. Prosch said Piper's store was popular and attracted visitors from around the region. An 1873 newspaper announcement said an Andrew William Piper, baker and confectioner of Government Street, declared bankruptcy in Victoria, B.C. on December 4, 1872.

paragraph: The Pipers came to Seattle in 1873. He owned a Bavarian style "konditorei", the Puget Sound Candy Manufactory, in Seattle's Pioneer Square on Front St. between Cherry and Mill Streets. A typical "konditorei" is much more than a bakery, making candies and many other types of confections. He was known for his wedding cakes and other creative, artistic confections, including "Piper's Cream Cakes" (or "Dream Cakes") that were especially popular in the 1870s, made from a recipe Piper never revealed. By the 1880s Piper employed a number of assistants. Prosch said that Seattle's Lake Union often froze over in winter, and that in those days, before Seattle's ice factory was built in 1882, Piper would harvest large blocks of ice from the lake, which he saved until summer for making ice cream.

paragraph: In 1876, A. W. Piper ran for Seattle City Council representing the Third Ward and lost, coming in fourth out of five candidates. On his second run, for the Third Ward again, he just barely won a seat on the Council, in 1877, on the socialist ticket. From 1890–1896 the city charter was amended to use a bicameral system, made up of a House of Delegates with to members from each of the city's now eight wards, where previously there had been three wards, and a nine-member at-large Board of Aldermen. Piper ran for the Board of Aldermen in 1896, losing and coming third. He was also a socialist (or Populist) nominee for Seattle Mayor.

paragraph: Piper was known as an artist, having several unsigned paintings hanging in museums and the homes of pioneers, and he sculpted in clay and stone. He also drew political cartoons and news illustrations, including the lynching of three suspected murderers in Henry Yesler's yard in 1882. Many of the cartoons are in the University of Washington Libraries digital archives.

paragraph: On September 14, 1883, to commemorate the completion of the transcontinental Northern Pacific Railroad, celebrated that September 8 in Montana, Seattle threw its first potlatch with the railroad's president Henry Villard in attendance. Piper was put in charge of the jubilee's barbecue, held on the former grounds of the University of Washington.

paragraph: Piper's bakery was destroyed in the Great Seattle Fire of June 6, 1889. All bakeries and candy makers in Seattle were destroyed in the Fire, and the industry reorganized afterwards, with some of the old businesses rebuilt and other new ones established. Piper did not rebuild, heading for Alaska instead.

paragraph: The Portland "Morning Oregonian" of May 4, 1888, reported that a newspaper called the "Enterprise", intended to rival the size of the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer", was incorporated with $25,000 capital by Piper with W.E. Lockard, H.F. Jones, J.C. Mavel and J.F. McDonald, just over a year before the Great Seattle Fire. After the Fire he ran a bakery in a tent in Nome, Alaska, for two years, then returned to Seattle as a farmer and orchardist. Their farm on Pipers Creek was founded c. 1880.

paragraph: The Pipers had 11 children, the first five born in San Francisco (1854, 1859, 1861, 1865, and 1867), three in Victoria, B.C. (1868, 1870 and 1873), and the last three in Seattle (1876, 1878 and the eleventh, born after 1879 and died by 1900).

paragraph: Piper was a Freemason, president of Seattle Turn "Verein" (society) (see Turners; a liberal German movement which produced several members of the Revolution of 1848), and member of the Seattle "Liederkranz", a German cultural club that sang and danced. He was also a member of the Pioneer Association of the State of Washington, a society of the state's early settlers, and he was one of the founders of the Seattle Chess Club and the Seattle Amateur Rifle Association.

paragraph: Piper died at home, at 1523 Boren Ave., on November 11, 1904, at age 76, after a long illness. His funeral was at the Unitarian Church on Seventh Ave. and Union St. the following Sunday, November 13, under the auspices of St. John's Lodge No. 9, the local Masonic Lodge. He was buried at Lake View Cemetery, Lot 184.

paragraph: Section::::Piper legacy in Seattle.

paragraph: A. W. Piper may have been the first of several Socialists or Communists on the Seattle City Council, including Hugh De Lacy, elected in 1937, who was a secret member of Communist Party USA; and Kshama Sawant, who won a seat in 2013 as Socialist Alternative party member.

paragraph: Dovid Halberstam

paragraph: Dovid Halberstam (1821–1894) was a religious leader of the Hasidic Jewish community of Chrzanow.

paragraph: Section::::Family life.

paragraph: Dovid Halberstam was the second son of Chaim Halberstam or "Divrei Chaim", the founder of the Sanz Hasidic dynasty of rebbes, which enjoyed enormous influence over the Hasidic Jewry in Western Galicia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

paragraph: Raised in a family of enormous prestige, from childhood and early youth he was exposed to Talmudist, poskim and Kabbalistic disputes of his time, and was trained to be a religious leader. Like his older brother Yechezkel Halberstam he did not succeed his father in Sanz; the rabbinical position went to his younger brother Aharon Halberstam instead.

paragraph: Married twice, Halberstam had at least three sons, Moses, Joshua and Naftoli, and a number of grandsons. Many of them became distinct figures within the Chrzanow Hasidic population.

paragraph: He is buried at the Chrzanow Jewish cemetery, his family ohel is well maintained.

paragraph: Section::::Leadership.

paragraph: It is not clear if Halberstam had served as rebbe before moving to Chrzanow; also the exact date of him assuming the post is unknown (probably around 1860).

paragraph: During his tenure, he became engaged in the growing rivalry between the Sanz and the Radomsker schools. Though the Radomsk leader, Tiferes Schlomo, was a disciple of his father and the two maintained fairly respectful relations, Dovid Halberstam aggravated them by his personal intransigence.

paragraph: Highly respected as a religious leader, Halberstam was appreciated for his scholarly competence and pious zeal. However, he turned out to be a divisive figure within the local Jewish community. This was due to rigorous application of his teaching, his firm grip on the leadership and the uncompromising style. As a result, a number of civil libel charges were brought against him. Also, despite some attempts, his authority has never stretched beyond the Chrzanow area.

paragraph: Over time the influence of Halberstam grew so significant that he became the founder of the dynasty of Chrzanow rebbes, which guided the Jewish population of the town for almost a century. His son Naftoli and then his grandson Mendel succeeded him at the post and led the local religious community until its destruction in 1942-1943.
