“To
this day, Eugène Bozza
(1905-1991) remains one
of the most prolific
composers for wind
instruments, despite
being a violinist
himself. His Brief Piece
for solo Saxophone 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
Opéra-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,
â€â€œhis works
reveal melodic fluency,
elegance of structure and
a consistently sensitive
concern of instrumental
capabilities.â€â€
œâ€.
