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.

MoreLong description:
How can the early music movement move into the future? Could this be a transformative moment for change and growth? In this collection of essays, a diverse group of young and established voices from across the globe offers exciting, positive, and challenging thoughts about how we can reimagine the early music movement in this new century.
Nicholas Kenyon's preface is followed by sixteen chapters written by performers, scholars, and pedagogues. They introduce new ways to conduct research, discuss various performative issues, offer numerous educational directions and exciting technological tools, and-perhaps most importantly-suggest ways we can engage with the present as well as with the past. These chapters include material that has been translated into English for the first time and are presented under Methodological Viewpoints, (Non) Historical Instruments, Pedagogical Perspectives, Transformative Technologies, and Revisiting History. An accompanying website provides additional audio and video material.
This post-revival period for the early music movement is crucial for its enduring success. How can a revival movement that looks to the past for inspiration engage with today's social and technological concerns? Early Music in the 21st Century asks important questions for everyone interested in early music—performers, teachers, academics, instrument makers, historians, and music lovers. By encouraging a return to the revolutionary spirit of the pioneering generations, this book offers a plethora of positive possibilities for the future of early music.
Early Music in the 21st Century, through excellent scholarship and compelling musical examples on the companion website, admirably succeeds in introducing students to multiple paths forward in early-music research.
