Rhapsodie BOZZA EUGENE

Classique

Description :

To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Rhapsodie 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 Opera-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. Composed in 1957, Bozza 's Rhapsodie is adaptableto both B flat and C Trumpet and addresses advanced features, including complex rhythms, quick tempos 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.
