Notes for a History of Portuguese Piano Music

Abstract

In the last years, I have deeply studied Portuguese piano music, the subject chosen for my doctorate thesis which I defended at the National University of Music of Bucharest in March 2006. In the last twenty years, I have spent in Portugal, due to my work as a pianist and pedagogue, I have discovered step by step a fascinating universe, and my wish was to share it with Romanian musicians, hoping to facilitate the spreading of the Portuguese piano literature and to draw them closer to the Portuguese musical world.
