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:
Camille Saint-Saëns 1835-1921: A Thematic Catalogue of his Complete Works defines the achievement of this great French composer. All his musical works are presented: the well-recognized masterpieces, the childhood sketches, the unpublished compositions, and the previously unknown pieces now revealed for the first time. This comprehensive collection fully documents the composer's extraordinary contribution to the musical world. Volume 1 concentrates on his instrumental output, while the two later volumes will cover Dramatic Works and Choral and Vocal Works respectively.
MoreLong description:
Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921): A Thematic Catalogue of His Complete Works ensures an objective knowledge of the total musical creation of this extraordinary French musician. The catalogue, classified by genre chronologically, encompasses unpublished compositions, incomplete pieces, and posthumous publications among the c. 600 works listed. An introduction discusses the location of the sources consulted, Saint-Saëns's autographs, and his publishers.
Each catalogue entry includes such information as the title and opus number of the composition and the opening theme of each movement; date, place, and circumstances of composition; dedication; instrumentation; location and description of autographs; publisher, plate number, date and place of publication; title page; all existent versions, arrangements, and transcriptions, their authors, publishers, date and plate number of publication; date and place of premi?re and significant performances with names of the performers involved; references to the work in the mainly unpublished correspondence of Saint-Saëns; literature and unique details relevant to the particular work.
This thematic catalogue (to be published ultimately in three volumes) provides an invaluable guide to Saint-Saëns for musicians, scholars, and students. It is an essential foundation for any study of the composer's signficance and music.
... an excellent read ... an extraordinary insight into this exceptionally prolific composer ... I read it at the piano, playing the examples, and emerged with a clearer picture of the man than any biography could provide.
