	Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Queen, or her Governors-General in the realms outside of Britain, also gives a speech at the annual State Opening of Parliament, outlining the government's legislative agenda for the year, but the speech is written by ministers.
		In practice, the Queen is merely a figurehead for the Church of England and does not proselytise, delegating authority to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
		The Queen has separate flags for use in her other Commonwealth realms, such as Australia, Barbados, Canada, Jamaica, and New Zealand, each being a defaced banner of the country's coat of arms, including the Queen's personal badge of a crowned letter E inside a circle of roses on a blue disc.

		For the most part, however, the southeastern portion of today's Belgium became split into a number of minor spheres of power, one of which was the prince-bishoprie of Liege.
		At the outset of the new millennium, Belgium consisted of the cities of Flanders, unified under their strong Counts, and the less unified cities to the south and east of the Scheldt.
		As a result, present-day Belgium was for much of the century a battleground between Louis XIV and the shifting alliances of his opponents.

		I could hardly have come to a better place than this, because placing in the eponymous Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition, founded 50 years ago by Belgium's gracious, music-loving sovereign of the moment, skyrockets the careers of talented young soloists in four disciplines: piano, violin, singing and composition.
		Casually eliminating Liszts is high-handed stuff, but the Queen Elisabeth is one of the world's toughest tests of musical talent and application, and only the strongest have a chance of surviving the three-week obstacle course that every year dominates the month of May in Brussels.
		At the Queen Elisabeth 1999, each pianist I heard seemed better than the last, and I was successively convinced that the latest one to play must surely win the grand prize.

		In 1937 a dream, long-cherished by Queen Elisabeth of Belgium and Eugène Ysaye, came true: the Concours Eugène Ysaye was born.
		However, the Queen’s determination was such that the competition was eventually resumed in 1951 under its present name.
		After fifty years, and in spite of numerous re-orientations (though the basic principles laid down by Ysaye in 1937 remained unchanged), the Queen Elisabeth Competition is still doing well, and its fiftieth anniversary provided the impetus for this 12-CD box.
