About Pierre Saint-Sevin

  • Pierre Saint-Sevin, dit l'AbbĂ© l'ainĂ© (1 May 1695 in Bordeaux – May 1768 in Paris) was a French cellist and composer. Along with his brother Philippe Saint-Sevin, he was a music-master of the parish church of Agen in Aquitaine early in the eighteenth century.
  • It is doubtful that he was actually an ordained priest, or merely in consequence of his office had to wear the ecclesiastical dress, but he received the name l'AbbĂ© l'ainĂ©, or simply l'AbbĂ©. Later, he and his brother gave up their connection with the church and went to Paris, where they obtained engagements at the Grand Opera.
  • They were both excellent players, but Philippe seems to have been the more celebrated of the two. He is the uncle of the violinist Joseph-BarnabĂ© Saint-Sevin, dit L'AbbĂ© le Fils.
