Info for Motta: Piano Works



Among the first works composed in Berlin by the young José Viana da Mota were the Fantasiestück, Op. 2, brimming with Schumannesque cantabile, and the more fiery, Liszt-inspired Zwei Klavierstücke nach A. Böcklin. Written when the composer had established himself as one of the great virtuoso pianists of the Liszt school, the Rapsódias Portuguesas draw upon native fado tunes, religious and love songs and children’s round dances to create a vivid and idealised mosaic of Portuguese national identity.

“It was a great pleasure for me to confront the challenge of Viana de Mota's pianistic virtuosity in this album. My own Portuguese origins helped me to understand and to interpret the many different and complex emotions expressed in these piano compositions influenced by the German tradition and the discovery of Portuguese folk music.” (João Costa Ferreira)
