Prévost did not play much music of any kind during World War I. During the war, Alphonse Onnou’s group, the nascent Pro Arte Quartet, would have had a different violist.
He may have played in the Quartet beginning in 1918.
He indicates his birth date in a letter dated 1913-12-02, reprinted in van Malderen 1998.
