French school of the violin

The school of the French violin reached a considerable fame under the rod of Jean-Baptiste Lully with famous “the Twenty-four Violins of the King”. Previously, the play of the European Violoniste S was strongly influenced by the Italians. But as from the 17th century, whereas the violonists of all Europe continue to make a “pilgrimage” in Italy, much of Italian settle with Paris.

Some examples

French Masters and their pupils.

Founded by Pierre Grinds, Rodolphe Kreutzer (formed by Anton Stamitz) and Pierre Baillot in 1795. These three violonists were the first professors of violin of new the conservatory of Paris. Their pupils were, inter alia, Jacques Féréol Mazas, Charles-Auguste de Bériot, Charles Dancla, Charles Philippe Lafont.

Franco-Belgian school

The geographical proximity, the exchange of the professors of the academies of Paris, Brussels and Liege supported a new style, strongly influenced by Niccolo Paganini. This movement formed a new generation of violonists between 1840 and 1920 with professors like Bériot, Charles Dancla, Jacques Féréol Mazas, Henri Vieuxtemps, Lambert Massart, François Prume, Hubert Léonard, Martin Marsick, Polish Henryk Wieniawski, Eugene Ysaÿe and his disciple Mathieu Crickboom. Their pupils continued to teach in this tradition, partially still until the end of the 20th century. From this school still come from large the Soliste S of the XXe century, such as for example Arthur Grumiaux, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, Pinchas Zukerman, Itzhak Perlman, Simon Standage.
