In 1938, he focused full-time on composition, creating music for the radio comedy series ITMA starring Tommy Handley. Notable works include The Boulevardier and Punchinello. Curzon died on December 6, 1973 in Bournemouth. His music has been recorded as part of the Guild Light Music series, with a Marco Polo CD of orchestral music issued posthumously in 1992.
