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 New Orleans being popular in the bass brass repertoire. This Bozza piece for bass brass with Piano accompaniment was written in 1962. It was orginally composed for Bass Saxhorn but since the instrument was falling into obscurity Bozza also adapted it for Bass Trombone and Tuba. NewOrleans is influenced by the jazz culture of the city. As music educationalist Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza's compositions 'his works reveal melodic fluency elegance of structure and a consistenly sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.' New Orleans for Bass Trombone Tuba or Bass Saxhorn and Piano remains popular in the repertoire of the instruments and is often included in audition syllabuses making it essential to aspiring performers of bass brass.

Composed by Joseph Edouard Barat Introduction Et Dance was written for Bb or C Saxhorn and Piano. Written for upper beginners this piece is composed 1/3 by the introduction and 2/3 by the dance. Starting quite slow the tempo doubles when the piece becomes a dance. Very melodic and cheerful this piece is really enjoyable to play and hear. Joseph Edouard Barat (1882-1963) composed numerous pieces for winds and Piano accompaniment such as 'Andante and Allegro' or 'Oriental' among many others.
