''sorry i keep goinig on'' ... but after 6.40 its not a celebration of someone being beheaded, but it is to represnt the glorious moment of someone ''safcrificing himself'' (dont know if sacrifice is the right word) for something he believed in.
uh the 80 years war was against spain. The Netherlands, which was holland and belgium together, was ruled by the spanish king. Egmont was part of the council of state for flanders and artois and he was a catholic. But in holland a lot of people were protestant .Than the spanish king introduced the inquisition and obviously the protestant people protested against this,but so did Egmont. To make a long story short, he was beheaded by the spanish people for beleiving in freedom of religion!
Sorry, but this information is wrong. It was Spanish occupation, thats why the rythm is Sarabande. Allegro con Brio is more the spirit and metaphore of freedom, than celebration of an execution...
slippings can alter the most modern terms not to mention poignantly faced ghosts

collections start and end in time, sorting things differently tends to mock continuations and not their noting's event logs.

@ Hiddecke: You got it all wrong. You mix up the events of the 16th and the 19th century. Sorry.
