Pedagogue
Gustavson's nine-minute piece on Being, with abrupt tempo changes and wind and brass in place of strings.
Wigwam, from Being (1974)
"Pedagogue" was written by Jukka Gustavson and is track five of Being, 9:12, the album's longest piece. It was recorded in the 1973 sessions at Finnvox and Finnlevy in Helsinki. We found no single or non-album release, no statement from the band on its subject, and no music video. Which of the album's guests play on this track is not verified.
DPRP calls it possibly their most complex track to date, with awkward chords, abrupt tempo changes, wind and brass in place of strings, and praised flute and clarinet solos. Head Heritage's Fitter Stoke wrote in August 2002 that "Pedagogue" and "Crisader" form the album's centerpiece and that Gustavson achieves true greatness. Our upload is a fan upload by the channel Chocolaphirax Groove titled "Wigwam - Pedagogue"; it is presumably the studio recording, since nothing suggests a live or alternate version, but the page does not name the album. A setlist.fm search for the song found no setlists, and we could not check covers or samples.
