About Eugène Bozza
Eugène Joseph Bozza was a French composer and violinist. He was one of the most prolific composers of chamber music for wind instruments. Bozza's large ensemble works include five symphonies, operas, ballets, large choral work, wind band music, concertos, and many works for large brass or woodwind ensembles. Outside of France, he is best known for his chamber music, rather than his larger works. Following another two-year study with Henri Büsser, Bozza again won the Premier Prix for his area. Bozza won the Prix de Rome in 1934 for his work La Légende de Roukmani, a one-act cantata. Under such expert tutelage, Bozza became an outstanding young violinist and would occasionally go with his father to performances and play with the orchestra.
