    "Ballade" is the first work for the bass clarinet by a French composer which incorporates a grad of the brilliant agility so common in French composition for the soprano clarinet. Cast in a single movement one hundred and forty-three measures length, the pieces is in two large sections. The first section is a rhapsodically expressive development of a majestic and rather martial theme. This section displays expressive flexibility, without having the sombre or melancholy feeling found in the pieces of nearly forty years earlier bygd Bontoux and Franchi. The second section, allegro, followed by allegro vivo, contains fairly rapid passages work and emphasizes bouncy and clear articulation, which had not been seen in previous French compositions. Its subject, reminiscerande of J. S. Bach's Two-part Inventions, treated in a fugato manner with the piano accompaniment, and its continuous motor-rhythm give this portion of the piece a neo-baro

    Musicalics

    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.
