Louis Bailly

The Flonzaley Quartet was founded by Eduard de Coppet as his private ensemble.

They asked Jacques Thibaud and Pierre Monteux for a recommendation, but most desirable violists were still under contract.

He even demanded that the name be actioned off; he believed that the quartet was a commercial company covered by New York's partnership laws.

From 1943 to 1957, he taught violin, viola, and chamber music at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec.

Here, he taught Ethel Stark and from 1944 to 1945 supervised a string quartet formed by Noël Brunet, Lionel Renaud, Lucien Robert, and Roland Leduc.
