Bozza - Aria for Flute or Violin/piano

Having won many prizes at the Paris Conservatoire during the 1920s-1930s, Eugne Bozza went on to conduct the orchestra of the Opra-Comique and to become Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes. As a major figure on the classical music frontline, Bozza 's compositions were well-received by audiences, Aria for Violin or Flute and Piano being no exception. This Bozza piece, adaptable for either Violin or Flute, is lyrical and graceful, displaying the beautiful, lower register of both instruments, accompanied by rich, pulsating chords in the Piano. As music educationalist, Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza 's compositions, "his works reveal melodic fluency, elegance ofstructure and a consistenly sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities."
