We arrived to the limit of contemporary music | Duets by Alvar Virtanen Koskinen (1990)

After the improvement of extended techniques carried out by the great master Koskinen in 1979 with his “Pig Etudes,“ he himself began to write many more works on the staff. The lyrics we observe in this piece are taken from a poem by the amateur writer, philologist, biographer, and great friend of master Koskinen: Luraans Halak. The language of this poem is quite a strange dialect, as it is the same language of pigs translated into the Latin alphabet. Halak might not have been a great writer, but if he was anything, he was a good philologist. He perfectly translated the sounds of pigs and was able to provide their appropriate letters within international alphabets. This poem is about a discussion between a pig and a mouse, as the mouse had a very valuable object that the pig wanted to keep. After a long discussion between the pig and the mouse, the mouse agrees to give the pig its deserved reward for the arguments the pig was able to present. Enjoy in SILENCE PLEASE!!!!
