Continuing his pattern of excellence, Bozza ended his study of conducting in 1931 by winning another Premier Prix, this time for conducting. His wife once confided that, "In fact, he was haunted by stage fright". After five years of touring Europe with the orchestra, Bozza resigned and returned to the Conservatory to study conducting with Henri Rabaud. He married Juliette Arnaud, his first wife, in 1924 and had a son, Pierre, in 1925. After two years of study, he earned the Conservatory's Premier Prix for violin and secured the chair of concert master at the Pasdeloup Orchestra in 1925. Bozza then returned to France and enrolled in the Conservatoire de Paris in 1922 where he studied violin with Édouard Nadaud. He graduated in 1919 with a diploma as Professor of Violin. In Italy, Bozza studied violin, piano, and solfège in Rome at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. In 1915, at the age of ten, Bozza and his father moved to Italy to avoid the turmoil of World War I. Under such expert tutelage, Bozza became an outstanding young violinist and would occasionally go with his father to performances and play with the orchestra. He began studying the violin with his father when he was only five years old.
With a professional musician for a father, Bozza was exposed to music early on. His father, Umberto Bozza, was a violinist who made his living playing in French casinos along the Mediterranean coast. 4.1 Premiers Prix du Conservatoire de Parisīiography Childhood and early years (1905–1915) īozza was born in Nice to an Italian musician and a French woman.
