Eugène Bozza: Concertino: Tuba: Instrumental Work

Concertino by Eugène Bozza is a piece for C Tuba or Bb Saxhorn and Piano. Written in two parts this work lasts 17 minutes and is very difficult to execute as a strong endurance and a high level of skill and technique is required. The whole score is in F key with some accidental alterations. Very interesting in term of melody and sonority this piece definitely shows the full Tuba range at its best and is perfect for contests and recitals. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prize for the Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome.He composed several operas chamber works and ballets among others.
