Teaching nursing students in a clinical setting with patients differs greatly from teaching in a classroom. It can be a daunting task if one is not prepared and mentored

João Pedro Almeida Mota (1744 - ca. 1817) or Juan Pedro Almeida Mota, as he used to autograph his works, is a merit composer whose music is still little known. An ignorance that may be due to his somewhat ambiguous national identity. Born and trained in Portugal, he developed almost all his career in Spain, being unattractive for a musicology until very recently still very conditioned by a markedly nationalistic perspective. To this misleading national affiliation, in the case of Almeida, a new source of uncertainties can still be added, partly conditioned by that same fact. Musical historiography has been particularly insidious with the identity of this composer, often confused with other musicians with the same last name or, directly, subject to fictitious identities created by nineteenth-century musical historiography that have persisted until very recent times.
