Zsigmond Szathmáry was deeply impressed by the vibrant colors and expressiveness of the mosaic paintings in the apse and altar area of the late antique church of San Vitale in Ravenna. The composer was inspired to write his piano piece by the fascination of how tiny, luminous mosaic cubes create magnificent images and vividly tell the biblical stories: "In my composition, I tried to organize the smallest colourful and angular musical miniature events in such a way that they constantly grow and ultimately culminate in a tangible musical statement." The composer wants his piece to be understood as a continuation of the virtuoso piano music tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries. The "Mosaic Pictures" are dedicated to the great Hungarian pianist Zsoltán Kocsis, for whom they were written in 2012.
