Scherzo, Op. 48 is a really lyrical piece for wind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn) which lasts around 2 minutes 30 seconds. The work starts allegro vivo with the main theme and some variations of this theme by each instrument then appear to end up on a final Animando. It reminds of music played to hold suspense during movies. This restless piece requires a good mastering of breathing techniques. This book features score and parts. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas, chamber works and ballets among others.

First published in 1957, this work has been reprinted multiple times and appears now as both a full score as well as the individual parts that comprise it. Endre Szervanszky (1911-1977) created this work during a creative period when the basic starting point for musical invention was Hungarian folk song. However, the demanding and expert reshaping of this musical material also characterized his musical creations. This quintet for winds has also earned recognition from instrumental musicians with its sophistication, intensity, superb instrumental arrangement, and classical four-movement structure.This publication is printed on high-quality, age-resistant paper that is producedin an environmentally-friendly, climate-neutral manner using renewable raw materials.

The second and fourth movements highlight the oboe and bassoon, while the third movement stands alone, giving the clarinet the spotlight. The piece demonstrates a typical arch form... Thus, the title of the piece alludes to the formal structure... The melodic and harmonic vocabulary explore pentatonic and modal scale structures within both quartal/quintal and tertian vertical sonorities. The metrical forms are very traditional in the first two and last two movements, but the third demostrates oscillation between symmetrical and asymmetrical meters as well as an interweaving of the two..
