Democrats 66

Democrats 66 (Dutch: Democraten 66, D66; official name: Politieke Partij Democraten 66) (Dutch pronunciation: [pouliˈtikə pɑrtɛi deimouˈkraːtə(n) zɛsə(n)ˈzɛstəx] or Dutch pronunciation: [dei zɛsə(n)ˈzɛstəx]) is a social-liberal and progressivepolitical party in the Netherlands.

D66 was formed in 1966 by a group of politically unaligned young intellectuals, led by journalist Hans van Mierlo. The party's main objective was to democratise the political system; it proposed to create an American-style presidential system. In the 1967 general election the party won 7 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives; no new party had ever gained that many seats before. The electoral history of the party is characterised by large fluctuations. At one point they had 24 seats, currently (following the September 2012 Parliamentary elections) they have 12. The party was in government from 1973 to 1977, 1981 to 1982, 1994 to 2002 and 2003 to 2006. Over time the party began to emphasise other issues in addition to democratic reform, creating a social-liberal programme.

  • List of compositions by Franz Schubert by genre

    Franz Schubert (31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828) was an extremely prolific Austrian composer. He composed some 1500 works (or, when collections, cycles and variants are grouped, some thousand compositions). The largest group are the lieder for piano and solo voice (over six hundred), and nearly as many piano pieces. Schubert also composed some 150 part songs, some 40 liturgical compositions (including several masses) and around 20 stage works like operas and incidental music. His orchestral output includes a dozen symphonies (seven completed) and several overtures. Schubert's chamber music includes over 20 string quartets, and several quintets, trios and duos.

    This article constitutes a complete list of Schubert’s known works organized by their genre. The complete output is divided in eight series, and in principle follows the order established by the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe printed edition. The works found in each series are ordered ascendingly according to Deutsch numbers, the information of which attempts to reflect the most current information with regards to Schubert’s catalogue.
