Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Imaginative analytical and critical work on British music of the early twentieth century has been hindered by perceptions of the repertory as insular in its references and backward in its style and syntax, escaping the modernity that surrounded its composers.
