To this
day, Eugene Bozza
(1905-1991) remains one
of the most prolific
composers for wind
instruments, despite
being a violinist
himself. His Fantasy for
bassoon and piano 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
1945, Bozza's Fantasy for
bassoon and piano 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..
