To this
day, Eugene Bozza
(1905-1991) remains one
of the most prolific
composers for wind
instruments, despite
being a violinist
himself. His Contrasts
III for Clarinet and
Bassoon is no exception
to the composer's
success. During his
studies at the Paris
Conservatoire, Bozza won
prizes for Violin,
conducting and
composition, as well as
the Grand Prix de Rome.
He then conducted the
orchestra of the
Opera-Comique and became
Head of the Conservatoire
in Valenciennes, whilst
remaining a prominent
composer. Composed in
1955, Bozza's Brief Piece
is to be played on the
Alto Saxophone and is a
virtuosic work,
addressing advanced
features including,
complex rhythms,
chromaticism, a wide
range and articulation.
As music educationalist,
Paul Griffiths has
written of Bozza's
compositions, his works
reveal melodic fluency,
elegance of structure and
a consistently sensitive
concern of instrumental
capabilities..
