Bozza wrote a quintet for brass that is also one of the "staples" in the
quintet literature. In it the composer requires all five musicians to
have very well trained technique, but especially the tubist for the tuba
part reaches the G in the middle of the treble clef staff. This work is
a very enjoyable work to hear and play and it is probably the first
thing all brass players think of when they hear the name Bozza.

When horn players hear "Bozza" they think of one piece only. Bozza’s French horn piece, En Foret, is one of the best virtuoso pieces for horn. Bozza includes quotations of St. Hubert’s hunting call, stirring memories of the hunt. This piece is a challenge for horn players and it requires mastery of advanced techniques like trills, glissandi, muted and stopped notes.

Eugene Bozza also wrote many pieces for oboe and english horn, these are the ones I know of offhand: 18 Etudes, Sonate, Fantasie Pastorale, Fantasie Italienne (oboe), Shephards of Provence (oboe and english horn), and Divertissement (english horn).

When some Horn Players hear the name Bozza, they think of his famous work of "En Foret". Lets not forget that Bozza wrote other things for Horn that was just as compelling; such as his work "Sur Les Cimes" meaning ‘On The Summits’ which was also a well written piece for the French Horn as well. Thank You Bozza!!

I am currently playing "Prelude et Allegro, pour Contrebasse a cordes ou Tuba Ut ou Saxhorn basse Sib ou Trombone basse et Piano". I play this on the double bass. It is dedicated "a Monsieur Moulard, Professeur de Contrebasse au Conservatoire National de Valenciennes". Published by Alphonse Leduc & Cie, 1953. Funny and poetic little concert piece suitable for amateur (such as myself) execution.

Saxophone players immediately think of "Aria" when they think of Bozza.
