The music of my country is very special to me. When I
reflect on this statement, I find myself as a “creator”
completely inseparable from the cultural roots of my
country. This mood leads me to have a very special
affection for this work, which was born in a fiery gesture
that had its origin in various traditional Portuguese
themes. Interlace was found to be the most appropriate
title for this amount of timeless “artistic” relations, being
at the same time an anagram of Clarinete, the instrument
featured in this work.
