Theme Varie (bass Trombone And Piano)

"To this day, Eugene Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Varied Theme for Tuba, Bass Saxhorn or Bass Trombone with Piano accompaniment is an exquisite and unique addition to the repertoire.  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 Varied Theme reflects the composer's ability to compose for a variety of instrumentations. 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."""
