Three Evocations For Two Flutes

To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Three Evocations for 2 Flutes is an exquisite addition to the repertoire. During hisstudies 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 Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire inValenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. Bozza's Three Evocations are exciting duets containing much musical variation and contrast, suitable for advanced flautists. As music educationalist Paul Griffiths has writtenof Bozza's compositions, his works reveal melodic fluency, elegance of structure and a consistently sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.
