Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The five volumes of The Shakespeare Music Catalogue consitute the first comprehensive and detailed listing of all musical compositions - published or unpublished - related to or inspired by Shakepeare's life and works. This unique scholarly project provides an unrivalled reference tool on a neglected aspect of Shakepeare studies. Operas, ballets, overtures, tone-poems, songs, and incidental music are included, and each entry giving, wherever possible, information on instrumental requirements, publication history, and first performance. There is also a select bibliography of writings in all languages on the subject of Shakespeare and music. This is an unrivalled and definitive work.
MoreLong description:
The five volumes of A Shakespeare Music Catalogue provide scholarship with an invaluable reference tool: a comprehensive and detailed documentation of all music - published and unpublished, from Shakespeare's day to our own - in any way related to Shakespeare's life and work. No single work has ever before attempted to draw together such a mass of information, from all countries of the world, on this neglected aspect of Shakespeare's dramatic art and cultural influence.
The music includes operas, ballets, overtures, tone-poems, songs, and various types of incidental music (for stage, radio, film, and television productions). Each composition is cited with information on its vocal and instrumental requirements, its publication history, and, when known, its first performance. The first three volumes deal with music and musical stage-directions for the plays (arranged alphabetically) and settings of the sonnets and narrative poems. The fourth volume contains indices: of Shakespeare's titles and lines, the titles of musical works, and composers, arrangers, editors, librettists, etc. The final volume provides a further, and unprecedented, research tool: a selected, annotated bibliography of writings, in all languages, on the subject of Shakespeare and music.
For the first time, readers of the Catalogue will have ready access to the broad range of musical works inspired by Shakespeare and to the diversity of critical viewpoints they have provoked. Theatrical directors will be able to consult it for appropriate music; musicologists and cultural historians study the history of taste; literary scholars examine any play or plays from a thoroughly documented musical standpoint. The Catalogue brings together the work of many scholars in the field, and goes far beyond existing available data.
`Not only will a wide body of scholars from a large number of disciplines have recourse to consult SMC; theatre producers, directors, and composers will also find it extremely user-friendly ... This magisterial work ... must rank not only among the most important contributions to literary, musical, and theatre research, but also among the greatest achievements of the twentieth-century bibliography.'
