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:
Carl Schmidt's catalogue of Poulenc's works lists and describes the musical works of one of France's most important 20th-century composers. The book reveals a wealth of information about a composer whose music is heard constantly in concert halls and on record around the world, and adds the names of a small group of works to his musical canon for the first time.
MoreLong description:
The name of Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was first brought to prominence in the 1920s as a member of Les Six, a group of young French composers encouraged by Satie and Cocteau. His subsequent fame spread well beyond France, and he is coming to be regarded as one of this century's most significant composers. His compositions are heard constantly in concert halls the world over, and numerous recordings, including complete sets of songs and piano music, have been released. Books, articles and more than a dozen doctoral dissertations have discussed his music.
Carl Schmidt's catalogue of Poulenc's works represents the first comprehensive attempt to list an oeuvre which numbers approximately 185 compositions written from his teenage years until his death at the age of 63. The Catalogue indentifies a number of unpublished works, and adds a small group of compositions to his musical canon for the first time.
Each work, whether complete or unfinished, published or unpublished, is described fully. Catalogue entries list and describe all known printed editions (including reprints) and manuscript copies of each work. In addition, they provide detailed compositional histories based on numerous letters, documents, and press accounts, many of which have not been published previously. Russian interest in Poulenc's music, manifested in press runs exceeding one million copies, is also revealed for the first time.
Now we have the most complete reference source yet on the music, Carl B. Schmidt's catalogue. This monumental study provides Poulenc performers and scholars with a wealth of information about every known composition (complete or incomplete, published or unpublished) ... Schmidt has made a monumental contribution to Poulenc studies, especially because the volume is so much more than a catalogue of works. In addition, the author's scholarship is so thorough that it takes the most careful investigation to uncover even a minor error. "My music is my portrait!," Poulenc stated, and Schmidt has lovingly interpreted that portrait in this work, one likely to remain definitive for many years to come.
