I checked out that description of Prince Phillipa and the wording is slightly different.The description and the portraits that I have seen of her on google in no way indicate a negro.She is a classic European. "Brown skin" could easily refer to southern Europeans.You will recall that the Dutch/Belgian monarchies had dominions within southern Europe? It looks to me like a classic distortion of history,providing examples of black royal personages,inventors,etc that clearly did not exist. www.aritek.com

Yes clearly you are right tell you what phone channel 4 website and the bbc and tell all the black people and historians they got it wrong, and she should not be under the heading 100 great blacks, do you realise how silly your begining to sound she was black get over it, it's really no big deal shes dead now. When all else fails with you it's conspiracy.

You have offered not one shred of evidence that she was "black".Indeed the pictoral evidence is against such an assumption. Forgive me if I don`t take television too seriously.It has proven to be an excellent medium for politically correct indoctrination.

Does the phrase, "Doing the movement more harm than good" mean anything to you? You are being outmanoeuvred by a person who (this made me laugh) likes Wagner, uniforms and thinks the ending of Sound of Music is really disappointing.

Where in any of my posts did I say that I "liked uniforms"?
Odds are the thread is killed by the racist banter, but I'll take a stab. I don't follow composers so much as pieces. Loving overtures, I still go for Rossini for "some of" the most stirring overtures ever written.
......Wagner did die sometime before the Nazis turned up.
Yes, but his views were virilently anti-semitic.
What works of Wagner have you read?
Art & Politics, Richard Wagner Religion & Art, Richard Wagner Judaism in Music & Other Essays, Richard Wagner "Ring of the Nibelung" Companion, Richard Wagner, et al
and by other authors:
Wagner & Philosophy, Bryan Magee Aspects of Wagner, Bryan Magee Richard Wagner: The Man, His Mind & His Music, Robert Gutman.

Good, I am impressed.Nice to have a "fellow traveller" aboard.
I'm off to see the AAM tonight and they are playing Weber and Mendelssohn - two composers I'm not overly familiar with so it'll be a learning experience
Ludwig Van Beethoven is my favourite composer. His Piano Sonata No.14 'Moonlight' is his masterpiece, the 3rd movement in particular. I'm currently learning the piano and my dream is to be able to play this one day, aswell as his Piano Sonata No.8 'Pathetique'. I also love Mozart, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Prokofiev, Saint-Saens, Greig and Bach. Mozart's opening movement to Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is pure magic yet so simple and the opening movement to The Marriage of Figaro is just mesmerising. That's the difference that serparates the maestro's that are Beethoven and Mozart in my opinion. Beethoven has greater depth and compassion to his music, Mozart's composition's are simple in comparison. Nevertheless, as soon as I can play his Piano Sonata No's 8, 11 and 16... I'll be soooooo happy
