Study of Eugène Bozza’s Image pour Flut̂ e Seule, op. 38: Based on Marcel Moyse’s Peformance Teaching Method

「Image for Flute Solo」(Image pour Flute Seule, op. 38) is an unaccompanied flute piece by Eugène Bozza (1905-1991), a representative composer of French wind chamber music works. ‘Image’ contains a variety of cadenzas that must express high- level technique, delicate tone control, and free phrasing. It is a piece which requires detailed practice and high-level techniques. The French National Conservatoire, which emphasized the tradition of French flute music since the 19th century, has published effective educational materials to improve various and advanced flute performance techniques. A representative figure who completed the system of flute performance techniques is Marcel Moyse (1889-1984). In this article, three of Moyse’s flute major performance techniques (fingering, tone, and phrasing) are focused on Moyse’s collections, such as ‘Exercises Journaliers’ and ‘Etude et exercises Technique.’ This article analyzes and investigates Bozza’s Image using Moyse’s efficient performance technique. Therefore, this paper aims to improve the understanding of Bozza’s ‘Image’ to perform the right aspects of flutists and educators by suggesting efficient practice methods.
