CAPRICE NO 2 FOR TRUMPET AND PIANO

Series: Leduc
Publisher: Alphonse Leduc
Voicing: Trumpet
Format: Softcover
Composer: Eugene Bozza

To this day, Eugene Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Caprice No. 2 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 1978, Bozza's Caprice No. 2 addresses advanced aspects of the Trumpet, including complex rhythms, exploited tonalilty and articulation. 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.
