Title: Methode de Violon par M.M. Baillot, Rode et Kreutzer
Author: Baillot, [Pierre]
Description: [1], 5, 165, [2] pp. 13x10, vellum-backed mottled boards."A renowned and influential pedagogue, Baillot had numerous pupils, including Mazas, Sauzay, and Charles and Léopold Dancla. A prolific and talented composer, besides nine concertos and a symphonie concertante for two violins, he wrote 'airs' and 'thèmes variés', caprices and études, duos, trios, string quartets and a sonata for piano and violin. Although his compositions are almost entirely forgotten, L'art du violon (1834) still holds its place as a standard work. He took a prominent part with Viotti's other two greatest pupils, Rode and Kreutzer, in compiling and editing the Méthode de violon and a similar work for the cello." (Paul David, Grove Online)
