# John E. Belcher

John Edward Belcher (20 February 1834 – 20 August 1915) was an Irish-born Canadian civil engineer and architect. He is most known for his work in Peterborough, Ontario, where he designed many churches, residences and civic buildings which are now local landmarks. Belcher served as president of the Ontario Association of Architects in 1899.

## Biography

John Edward Belcher was born on 20 February 1834 in Cork, Ireland. He was educated at Queen's College Cork, and articled with his father, Samuel R. Belcher, who was also an architect. Belcher apprenticed with John Benson before emigrating to British North America in 1858.
Upon settling in Peterborough, Ontario, Belcher became civic engineer for the County and later Town of Peterborough. He was responsible for a number of civic improvements and public works projects. Most notably, the Market Hall, completed in 1890.
He built a number of Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches in Peterborough and its surrounding area. In 1885, despite being an Anglican, Belcher was appointed diocesan architect by the newly formed Roman Catholic Diocese of Peterborough. In this role, he expanded and renovated the Cathedral of St. Peter-in-Chains and built parish churches in Peterborough, Cobourg and Douro.
Belcher married Clementina MacDonald in 1842 and they had four children. He died in Peterborough on 20 August 1915 and is buried in Little Lake Cemetery.

# Capture of the Veloz Passagera

The Capture of Veloz Passagera was a single-ship action that occurred during the British Royal Navy's anti-slavery blockade of Africa in the early and mid 19th century. The sloop-of-war HMS Primrose, of 18 guns, under Captain William Broughton, captured the 20-gun Spanish slave ship Veloz Passagera, Jozé Antonio de la Vega, master.

## Capture

Veloz Pasajera, of 408 tons (bm), Jayme Tinto, owner, sailed from Havana on 25 August 1828 with a crew of 100 men. She acquired her slaves at Jacquin and sailed on 7 September 1830.
Primrose encountered Veloz Passagera off Prince's Island, West Africa, in the evening of 6 September 1830. The British attacked early in the morning of 7 September. A severe single-ship action ensued in which the British ultimately boarded Veloz Passagera, capturing her. Forty-three slavers out of 150 were killed in action and another 20 were wounded; the British lost three killed and 12 wounded. The engagement was one of the few fought during several decades of anti-slavery operations off the African coast, and was the most significant in terms of casualties and the strength of the opposing forces.
Veloz Passagera had 556 slaves aboard her when Primrose opened fire. Five died as a result of the broadsides from Primrose, and another 21 died before the court condemned Velos Passagera and emancipated the slaves.
Primrose sent Veloz Passagera to Sierra Leone for adjudication by the Anglo-Spanish Court of Mixed Commission. She arrived on 9 October, and the Court condemned her on 16. The British wanted to try 24 of surviving crew in England with piracy. Captain Broughton sailed Primrose back to England as well, leaving Africa in December to follow up on the court proceedings. He took with him the 24 crew men. However, Lord Palmerston, the Foreign Secretary, decided that British courts had no jurisdiction and that charges of piracy were not appropriate. He had the 24 men transported to Spain, where they stood trial in 1831.
The proceeds of the bounty granted for 551 slaves and a moiety of the hull, etc., were deposited in the Registry of the High Court of Admiralty on 16 June 1831.

# John Angus (footballer, born 1938)

John Angus (2 September 1938 – 8 June 2021) was an English footballer who played his entire club career as a right back for Burnley between 1956 and 1972, helping them win the Football League title in 1959–60. He also made a single appearance for England in 1961.

## Career

Angus was born in Amble, Northumberland and played for the local boys' club before being signed by Burnley as an amateur at the age of 16 in 1954. A year later, he was signed as a professional on his 17th birthday.
At first, he struggled to win a place in the reserve team with the quality of players then at Turf Moor and was less than a week away from his 18th birthday before his reserve team debut. A week after that debut, however, he was called into the first team after the club were hit with a number of injuries and he performed well in a 2–1 victory against Everton on 3 September 1956 giving international winger Tommy Eglington a difficult time.
Over the next two seasons he made a number of appearances in the first team but in 1958 new manager Harry Potts made Angus the regular right back, displacing Dave Smith. Angus was a superb defender and became an integral part of the Burnley side which won the Football League title in 1960, and were runners-up in both the league and FA Cup in 1962.
He was capped at U23 seven times. His full cap came on 27 May 1961, when he and Burnley teammate Brian Miller made their England debuts in the same game against Austria in Vienna. Angus was played out of position having to play at left-back, replacing Ray Wilson. England were defeated by three goals to one (from Jimmy Greaves). Unfortunately for Angus, England already had Jimmy Armfield and then George Cohen available at right back, and Angus was not selected again.
Angus continued his good form for Burnley as the title winning team was dismantled, and he had almost reached the age of 30 before his place was under threat. However the emergence of Fred Smith saw him out of the side for spells. In 1971, Burnley were relegated from the First Division; Angus was in the Second Division side for the first two games of the 1971–72 season before a tendon injury forced him out. Although he was hopeful of a recovery, this was not to be and he retired at the end of the season.
He had played in a total of 439 league games for Burnley and, with cup games, totalled 521 appearances, which placed him as the outfield player with most appearances for the club at the time, behind only goalkeeper Jerry Dawson. Subsequently, another goalkeeper, Alan Stevenson, surpassed his appearance total. His four goals all came between 1964 and 1966.

## Personal life

His uncle, Jack Angus played for Exeter City from 1930 to 1948.
Angus died on 8 June 2021, at the age of 82.

# Andante favori

The Andante favori is a work for piano solo by Ludwig van Beethoven. In catalogues of Beethoven's works, it is designated as WoO 57.

## Composition and reception

The Andante favori was written between 1803 and 1804, and published in 1805. It was originally intended to be the second of the three movements of Beethoven's Waldstein Piano Sonata, Op. 53. The following extract from Thayer's Beethoven biography explains the change:
    Ries reports (Notizen, p. 101) that a friend of Beethoven's said to him that the sonata was too long, for which he was terribly taken to task by the composer. But after quiet reflection Beethoven was convinced of the correctness of the criticism. The andante... was therefore excluded and in its place supplied the interesting Introduction to the rondo which it now has. A year after the publication of the sonata, the andante also appeared separately.
It was composed as a musical declaration of love for Countess Josephine Brunsvik, but the Brunsvik family increased the pressure to terminate the relationship. She could not contemplate marrying Beethoven, a commoner.
The reason for the title was given by Beethoven's pupil Czerny, quoted in Thayer: "Because of its popularity (for Beethoven played it frequently in society) he gave it the title Andante favori ("favored Andante").

## The music

The Andante favori is in F major (the subdominant of the Waldstein key), in 3/8 time, and is marked Andante grazioso con moto. Formally, the work is a rondo, with each return of the theme appearing in varied form. The theme itself is fairly extended and in ternary form. The work takes about nine minutes to play.

## Adaptations in popular culture

The makers of the 1995 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice used the Andante favori as the musical content of a concocted scene in which Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy exchange tender glances while his sister Georgiana plays the andante on the fortepiano. The action of the scene is timed to match two modulations in the music, from F to D♭ major and then back again.
# Bukowski (surname)

# Piano Sonata No. 18 (Beethoven)

The Piano Sonata No. 18 in E♭ major, Op. 31, No. 3, is an 1802 sonata for solo piano by Ludwig van Beethoven. A third party gave the piece the nickname "The Hunt" due to one of its themes' resemblance to a horn call. Beethoven maintains a playful jocularity throughout much of the piece, but as in many of his early works, the jocular style can be heard as a facade, concealing profound ideas and depths of emotion.
Roger Kamien has performed a Schenkerian analysis of facets of chords of the sonata.

## Analysis

The sonata consists of four movements and takes approximately twenty-two minutes to perform:
* Allegro
* Scherzo. Allegretto vivace
* Menuetto. Moderato e grazioso
* Presto con fuoco
The sonata is unusual in lacking a slow movement.

### I. Allegro

Beethoven's progressive harmonic language is apparent from the very first chord of the piece (third inversion of the eleventh on dominant B♭); the stability of a tonic chord in root position is delayed until bar 8. The expressive harmonic colour coupled with the changes of tempi in the introduction (mm. 1–18) create an evocative opening, reminiscent of the improvisatory style of C. P. E. Bach's piano sonatas. This opening cell is repeated extensively throughout the movement – at the start of the development (m. 89), in the recapitulation (m. 137), and during the coda (transposed into the subdominant A♭ (m. 220), and then at its original pitch (m. 237)). The modulatory passage between the first and second subjects (mm. 33–45) explores the opening chord, but in a minor variation (with a C♭, implying ii$^7$ of E♭ minor), even appearing in bar 36 in the exact spacing (albeit with different spelling) of the Tristan chord written by Richard Wagner some 55 years later.

### II. Scherzo

This scherzo differs from normal scherzos by being in $^2$ $_4$ time rather than $^3$ $_4$, and because it is in sonata form rather than ternary form. This wasn't the first time Beethoven wrote a scherzo not in ternary form; Op. 14, No. 2 has a scherzo in rondo form as its finale. But this movement still contains many characteristics of a scherzo, including unexpected pauses and a playful nature. The theme is in the right hand while the left hand contains staccato accompaniment.

### III. Menuetto

The third movement is the most serious of the movements, with a sweet and tender nature. The minuet and the trio are in E♭ major.

### IV. Presto con fuoco

The finale is vigorous and rollicking, with continuous eighth notes in the bass and tarantella rhythms.

## Adaptations

* Camille Saint-Saëns used the Trio section of the Menuetto as the theme for his 1874 Variations sur un thème de Beethoven, Op. 35, for two pianos.
# Piano Sonata No. 15 (Beethoven)

Piano Sonata No. 15 in D major, Op. 28, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. The name Pastoral or Pastorale became known through A. Cranz publishing of Beethoven's work, but was first coined by a London publisher, Broderip & Wilkinson. While not as famous as its immediate predecessor, Piano Sonata No. 14, it is generally admired for its intricate technicality as well as for its beauty. The sonata takes roughly twenty-five minutes to play with its intended repeats.
Published in 1801, the work is dedicated to the Count Joseph von Sonnenfels.

## Structure

The sonata is in D major, and follows the typical four-movement form of the classical sonata.
* Allegro, $^3$ $_4$
* Andante in D minor, $^2$ $_4$
* Scherzo: Allegro vivace, $^3$ $_4$
* Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo, $^6$ $_8$

### First movement

The first movement, Allegro, begins in the tonic major with a repetitive and monotone bass line sometimes described as "timpanic." This droning theme continues in various forms throughout the sonata. On top is the simple primary theme of the movement. Eventually, the work introduces a second, more tense melody in F♯ minor, which builds up into a passage of constant quavers. The development of the movement runs through various minor keys, ever becoming more dramatic and angst-filled as it compresses the main theme into a repeated one-bar rhythm, which gradually fades away. It then recapitulates back into the themes of the beginning.

### Second movement

The Andante movement is in D minor. The primary feature is the staccato semiquaver bass. There is a slight diversion in the tonic major involving dialogue between a dotted, staccato rhythm and a set of semiquaver triplets. It then returns to the primary melody.

### Third movement

The Scherzo is in D major. Its most important feature is the contrast between four long notes, each an octave apart, and a fast quaver melody. The trio, in B minor, repeats a simple four-bar melody eight times over, with a relentless broken octave–chord bass figuration adding harmonic, rhythmic, and dynamic intensity as the repeats progress. It provides a diversion to the blithe scherzo, contrasting sharply in tone and adding gravity to the prevailing humor.

### Fourth movement

The final movement is a rondo. Out of not only his piano sonatas but all of his published works up to this point, this is the first time that Beethoven decides to write ma non troppo. Some critics attribute the repeating bass line to a bagpipe, others to a dancing gigue. Beethoven employs various amusing, interesting and very adventurous episodes, all with different moods, rhythms, and harmonic texture. The coda, played a little faster than the allegro (Più allegro), can be termed as the only 'virtuoso' passage in the whole sonata.

## "Pastoral"

It has been debated whether the title "pastoral" refers to the sense of countryside and nature (the 6th symphony pastoral sense), or to its sense of calm, simplicity and lightness. Beethoven's publishers had a tendency to name his sonatas without consulting Beethoven himself.
