Biography

The marvelously capable composer Eugène Bozza is one of those countless creatures in the forest of modern music who never made it into the mitten. A prodigious talent coming of artistic age in Paris between the wars, Bozza lived through virtually the entire century, and was a coeval of every musical -ism imaginable (expressionism, futurism, objectivism, serialism, minimalism, maximalism). But none of them stuck to him, and he appears to have been quite fine with that. He composed music with no stories attached, immaculately crafted and attentive to the playing idioms of all instruments. He wrote music primarily for the players, and left the historical mitten largely alone.

His mother's name was Honoré Molina.[3] With a professional musician for a father, Bozza was exposed to music early on. He began studying the violin with his father when he was only five years old.[4] Under such expert tutelage, Bozza became an outstanding young violinist and would occasionally go wit
