Joseph-Barnabé Saint-Sevin dit L'Abbé le Fils

Joseph-Barnabé Saint-Sevin, dit L′Abbé le Fils (1727–1803) was a French composer and violinist. According to Sheila Nelson, "The very important work of L'Abbé le fils...put France in advance of the rest of Europe with regard to violin technique."[1]

He was an important personality in the French school of violin virtuosos in the eighteenth century, a composer and, most memorably, author of a highly influential violin method, "the first substantial French violin method,"[2] of that time: Principes du Violon (1761). He studied with Jean-Marie Leclair.[3][4][5]

He was the son of the cellist Philippe Saint-Sevin (l′Abbé cadet) and the nephew of Pierre Saint-Sevin (l′Abbé l′ainé).
