First Perf ormance. Composer Time Period Comp. Freitas Branco, one of the founding fathers of modern Portuguese music, showed a great inclination towards abstract music, quite unlike most older composers of his times. Quite early on, he composed important chamber works.
Indeed, his First Violin Sonata was composed in when he was seventeen. A few years later, he completed the impressive String Quartet , a quite substantial piece also bearing Franck's imprint, especially the cyclic structure which remained a hallmark of Freitas Branco's music, even in his later symphonies and in his Second Violin Sonata of However, Freitas Branco's string quartet also has its composer moving towards Debussy and Impressionism, though his attitude to Impressionism remains at a rather superficial level.
The Quartetto de Cordas of is in four movements, though its structure is fairly unusual in that the first two movements Moderado [sic] and Vivo are quite short, the following Lento much longer whereas the last movement Animado [sic] is both the longest and the most complex. Curiously enough, and this may result from the composer's Franckian approach, the work's structure is remarkably coherent.
The Sonata para violoncello e piano, completed in , is quite comparable to either the string quartet of the First Violin Sonata, in that it again strictly adheres to the cyclic constructed inherited from Franck. From this point of view, the Cello Sonata is still more tightly argued than either of the aforementioned pieces. But again, Freitas Branco's heartfelt lyricism makes one completely forget any formal or structural considerations and merely enjoy the music.
