José Vianna da Motta (22 April 1868 – 1 June 1948) was a distinguished Portuguese pianist, teacher, and composer. He studied with Franz Liszt at Weimar in 1885 and with Hans von Bülow two years later. In the following years he undertook many concert tours all round the world. Although he was renowned for his virtuosity, he was also dedicated to the music of J. S. Bach and Beethoven. He also included lesser known composers in his recitals, such as works by Charles-Valentin Alkan. Vianna da Motta was a composer in his own right, composing orchestral works (including a symphony) as well as piano pieces.
