10 Pieces Faciles No.3: Menuet des Pages, Violin

Having won many prizes at the Paris Conservatoire during the 1920s-1930s, Eugène Bozza went on to conduct the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and to become Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes. As a major figure on the classical music frontline, Bozza's compositions were well-received by audiences, 10 Easy Pieces for Violin and Piano being no exception.

This collection of Bozza pieces is suitable for beginner violinists. The third piece, Minuet Pages, is chirpy and graceful, displaying the typical features of a minuet. As music educationalist, Paul Griffiths has written ofBozza's compositions, 'his works reveal melodic fluency, elegance of structure and a consistently sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.'
