碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 音樂學系研究所 === 103 === Eugene Bozza (1905-1991), a twentieth century French renown composer, violinist and educator, who graduated from the Conservatoire national supérior de musique et de Danse de Paris. His music demonstrates a rich variety of traditional French musical styles, sound colors and characteristics. Apart from genres such as symphonies, ballets and operas, most of Bozza’s compositions focused on chamber music and music for woodwind instruments. Bozza has also written a great number of études which have made significant impacts and contributions towards the development of performing techniques in woodwind instruments. Fantasy Pastrol for Oboe and Piano Op. 37 was composed in 1939, dedicated to Louis Bleuzet, an oboe professor of the Conservatoire de Paris. The music fuses impressionistic with contemporary styles giving elegant melodic lines, and a vast range of musical textures. It is also technically challenging. Thus, the work has been considered as one of Bozza’s signature compositions. The study consists of three main chapters：an introduction and a conclusion. Chapter one discusses the biography of Bozza. The chapter two examines the essential musical characteristics and style of the composer, and chapter three analyses the composition and if interpretation.
