Luigi Nono visited Hungary in 1978, on the occasion of his author's evening, and also met György Kurtág. In fact, he advised his Hungarian colleague to write choral works. Kurtág, who was greatly influenced by the open personality of the Italian composer, who was previously thought to be a dogmatic communist, accepted the advice, but he hardly wrote the work recommended to him in the spirit of Nono. Drawing from the "sacred" layer of the Russian language, he set the poems of female poets to music, and the choral works are not intended for the masses, but - due to both the mystery of their text and the difficulty of their performance - mainly for the selected few.
