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.

MoreLong description:
This book is devoted to one of the world's greatest late twentieth-century symphonists, Chinese composer Zhu Jianer. Each of his 10 symphonies is discussed in detail and can be grouped into such concepts as the Cultural Revolution (nos. 1-2), an emphasis on human topics (nos. 3-4-5), and his continuous expansion of traditional symphonic boundaries (nos. 6-7-8-9-10). Zhu's symphonies can be relevant to all peoples and all cultures due to his concern for heaven, earth, and humankind. This in-depth discussion of Chinese and Western elements in Zhu's symphonies includes such topics as his free use of twelve-tone rows, his exploration of sound possibilities, his diverse and fascinating approaches to musical form, the concept of the lonely individual struggling within a decadent society, and his belief that humans must be ethical and responsible to ensure future hope for humankind. Courses in symphonic literature, Asian composers, or intercultural composers would benefit significantly from this book.
"Zhu Jianer was the foremost symphonic composer of his generation whose works set milestones for Chinese music in the 20th century. His cycle of ten symphonies, begun when the composer was at the age of 64, is the focus of John Robison's book-the first comprehensive study of these extraordinary works published in English. It is an indispensable volume for anyone interested in Chinese contemporary music, as well as the Chinese intellectual movement of this momentous period." -Lei Liang, Chancellor's Distinguished Professor of Music, University of California, San Diego; Winner of the 2021 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition More
