Jean-Baptiste Quentin [Cantin, Quentin le jeune]
(Paris?, c.1700 - c.1750)

French violinist and composer. Almosth nothing is known about him. He pursued his career in Paris, where he was a violinist at the Paris Opéra in 1718, and in 1738 he played the viola in the ‘grand choeur’. References to him indicate that he was a violinist of high reputation. As a composer, he was prolific with numerous collections of solo and trio sonatas, and few concertos (1724-1740). His brother, Bertin Quentin (?-1767), was a violinist, cellist and composer.
