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.

Piano accompaniment, or collaborative piano, is an invizibilized force driving classical music. This hybrid study, combining text and multimedia, explores its history, evolution, and transformation into a recognized academic discipline through archival research, expert interviews, and digital resources.
This publication delves into the origins and institutionalization of collaborative piano, tracing its development from the early 20th century to the present day. It highlights a profession often overlooked, introduces pioneering figures including Gwendolyn Koldofsky, and maps the establishment of over 100 degree-granting programs across North America. With an interactive data visualization tool, QR codes linking to compelling first-hand accounts and extensive archival materials, it offers a vivid, multidimensional journey through the field?s past and present. Through contextualizing the profession within broader sociological and academic frameworks through analysis of its pedagogical, gendered, and institutional dynamics, this work fosters a deeper understanding of collaborative piano?s past, present, and future, while advocating for its recognition and advancement.
Accompaniment in America: Contextualizing Collaborative Piano is essential reading for musicians, music students, educators, scholars, and administrators, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of collaborative piano history, performance practice, and academia. It is a valuable resource for both students and professionals seeking to understand the complexities of this field still broadly misunderstood and its pivotal role in classical music
