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.
