Baillot, Pierre. (1771-1842). Méthode de Violon par Baillot, Rode et Kreutzer, rédigée par Baillot, adoptée par le Conservatoire pour servir à l'étude dans cet établissement.. Paris: [Ozi et Cie] Au Magasin de Musique de Conservatoire Royal. [ca. 1802]. Upright folio. Title; publisher's catalogue; endorsement; 165 pp + Table de Matieres (2 pp). Engraved throughout, [PN] 208. The publisher's stamped name "Ozi" beside the printed price. Contemporary soiled marble boards over vellum. Scattered light foxing mostly around page edges, very small area of unobtrusive worming on approx. 20 leaves in upper right corners well outside of the plate, otherwise fine throughout.
"Fétis states that one Etienne Ozi founded a Magasin to Musique, attached the Conservatoire about 1796, and which he directed until his death on October 15th, 1813. Actually Etienne Ozi was appointed Manager on March 6th, 1797, and he did continue until his death, but in Baillot's Méthode de Violon, published in 1802, there is, in a copy which I have examined, a catalouge bound in which is headed 'Le Magasine de Musique du Conservatoire, tenu par MM. Ozi et Compagnie.'" (Hopkinson, Dictionary of Parisian Music Publishers, p. 84)
"Created as the official violin method for Paris Conservatoire, collectively compiled by three important violinist-composers and faculty members. Largely consists of exercises for violin with bass-clef accompaniment, along with instructions on appoggiaturas, trills, and bowing. The text (about 15 pages) discusses how to hold the violin and bow, and discusses matters of expression, style, and taste." (Mark Katz, "The violin: a research and information guide," p. 134-135)
"It is significant of the changing times that Viotti, an Italian who came to Paris about the same time, nurtured the French school of Baillot, Rode and Kreutzer, a school that exerted a most important influence on violin technique in the nineteenth century. Paganini, the last of the great Italian violinists, was the star and symbol of nineteenth-century violin virtuosity, but the true teacher of the nineteenth-century violinist was Baillot, a Frenchman."
