Joseph-Barnabé Saint-Sevin, dit L′Abbé le Fils (Agen, June 11th, 1727 – Paris, July 25th, 1803[1]) 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."[2]
He was an important personality in the French school of violin virtuosos from the eighteenth century. He was a composer and most memorably, author of a highly influential violin method, "the first substantial French violin method,"[3] of that time: Principes du Violon (1761). Additionally, he studied with Jean-Marie Leclair.[4][5][6]
He was the son of the cellist Philippe Saint-Sevin (l′Abbé cadet) and the nephew of Pierre Saint-Sevin (l′Abbé l′ainé).
