Jean-Pierre Maurin (14 February 1822 – 16 March 1894) was a French violinist and pedagogue.[1]
Career
Maurin was a student of Baillot and Habeneck at the Conservatoire de Paris. In 1875 he succeeded to the post of Jean-Delphin Alard as a professor of violin at the same institution. Contemporary sources attest to the significance of his performance activities:
...the cofounder of the Society for the Last Quartets of Beethoven... [he] and his string quartet contributed significantly to the growing understanding in Paris of Beethoven's late works. Richard Wagner, a severe critic, heard the Maurin Quartet in 1861 in Paris and described the performance as "most perfect."[2]
