Description
Lucien Capet was born in Paris in 1873 and became a renowned violinist in the Capet Quartet. He was a student of Maurin and the pure tradition of French violin technique through Baillot. He was invited to teach chamber music at the Paris Conservatory and during his years there, he published Superior Bowing Technique. This book answers the subjects that many have been wanting to learn about, including: the most complete biography of Capet, a comparison with Baillot's pedagogy, and a comparison with the bowing techniques of Galamian and Fischer.

More about this title

Why we love this

Johnson has done the scholarly work that teachers and serious students actually need: tracing Capet's lineage back through Baillot and comparing his approach directly to Galamian and Fischer. Rather than treating bowing as an isolated mechanical problem, this book situates it within a historical continuum of French technique. You get both the complete context and the practical toolkit.

Who it's for

Advanced violinists and chamber musicians who want to understand the logic behind their bow technique rather than simply execute it. Violin teachers looking to deepen their own pedagogical foundation and make informed choices about which technical approach serves their students best.

Skills your students will build

  • Understanding historical lineage of French violin technique from Baillot through Capet
  • Comparative analysis of bowing philosophy across major pedagogical schools
  • Advanced bow control rooted in the French tradition
