    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.

Students will engage in learning about and discussing trends in Russia's folk, modern, and classical music and masterpieces by renowned Russian and Soviet composers.
