The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 6: The Berlin Years: Writings, 1914-1917 does not mention this date. -- romanm ( talk) 00:08, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
I've noticed, that the home page of the English Wikipedia completely ignores the fact, that today ( December 2, 2005) is the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Austerlitz, an event of great importance in the history of Europe, for whose celebrance a set of several huge ceremonies with international participance including top politic representants taking part is taking place in the venue of the 1805 battle. Yes, I see that there is accidentally already one event on Napoleon in the Selected anniversaries, but I myself prefer this one to be of a greater importance - same like for example the French Wikipedia does, as I have noticed - they have had the article on the Main Page for the whole present week, since it is their Cooperation of the Week. I think the Wikipedia should report on this anniversary, at least this year when there is the jubilee and extraordinary celebrations taking place. Blahma 22:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
On this date in 1717, Johann Sebastian Bach got out of jail. Bach had been imprisoned by Duke Wilhelm Ernst, duke of Saxe-Weimar, since Nov. 6, 1717, for accepting a new post at Prince Leopold’s court at Köthen without first asking the duke’s permission. It is well for posterity that Bach was released, because at Köthen he went on to complete the six Brandenburg Concertos, dedicated to his patron, Christian Ludwig, margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt. However, the margrave (German: Markgraf = count of the mark) never had the concertos performed. It was not until the score was rediscovered in the archives of Brandenburg in 1849 that the Brandenburg Concertos were published and became widely known as, arguably, the finest compositions of the Baroque Era.
