“To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Fourteen Arabesque Studies for Flute will enable the pupil to attain brilliant technique on the instrument. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bozza won prizes for Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. The studies in Bozza's books prepare students for this most difficult rhythms and melodic writings. Furthermore, Fourteen Arabesque Studies contain virtuosic exercises including range, intervals, embouchure, breath control, phrasing, articulation, performance directions, dynamics and chromaticism, among other aspects. Being Arabesques, all Bozza's studies are exploited with complex rhythms and ornamentation, making for a unique and essential aid in the progression of advanced Flute studies.”.

Part I explores themes of love, regretting its loss and sometime futility. Part II, opening with the lightest song in the work, rapidly darkens to a nightmarish mood and concludes with the sonnet – fourteen lines – which, paraphrased, gives the work its title. Its succinct expression of the philosophical and technical dilemmas of the poet, as she struggles to put the violent and demonic tyranny of existential Disorder into the Order of the poem, is reminiscent of the age-old conflict of Dionysus and Apollo: the archetype which has underpinned so much artistic endeavour.

Prio r to 2018, the Trio Sonata of John La Montaine might as well have not existed. When ALRY Publications became the sole representative for Fredonia Press, this work was not mentioned in the catalogs, nor was any score or manuscript included in the Fredonia archives. Suddenly it resurfaced, a paper copy, bearing a handwritten inscription to Doriot Anthony Dwyer, with the subtitle for 3 Flutes or 30 Flutes or 300 Flutes. The new and freshly re-engraved edition, featuring a full score and parts, consists of three movements: Questioning (a trio version of the opening movement of his Sonata for Solo Flute), Song and Scherzo.

The Concerto, in three movements, affirms both the lyric and virtuoso capabilities of the piano. The First Movement is bold and decisive, classic in form, romantic in content. The Second Movement is slow and introspective, rising to an overwhelming climax. It is an elegy in memory of the composer’s sister, Isabel La Montaine. The Finale, in quadruple meter, is brilliant, rhythmic, and march-like, interrupted twice by an extended songful passage of great intensity in triple meter. All the thematic and passage material of the final movement is derived from the opening of the First Movement.

This new edition of John La Montaine's Twelve Studies for Two Flutes, Opus 46, has been newly re-engraved and includes an extra copy of the score (One for each player, or also for adjudication). These twelve studies, although intended to be played from beginning to end can be extracted and performed separately at the discretion of the performers. Written in the style of 12-tone serialism, these duets are an interesting exercise in what can be done with the theoretical manipulation of the tone rows used. While not as tuneful as some of John La Montaine's other compositions, they are a good example of his experimentation with other compositional styles.
