“To
this day, Eugène
Bozza (1905-1991) remains
one of the most prolific
composers for wind
instruments, despite
being a violinist
himself. His Caprice No.
2 for Trumpet with Piano
accompaniment 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
1978, Bozza's Caprice No.
2 addresses advanced
aspects of the Trumpet,
including complex
rhythms, exploited
tonalilty and
articulation. As music
educationalist, Paul
Griffiths has written of
Bozza's compositions,
”“his works
reveal melodic fluency,
elegance of structure and
a consistenly sensitive
concern of instrumental
capabilities.”&ldqu
