Abstract

This paper represents a study of the alterations that were made in the structure and design of the violin and bow during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These alterations were the result of the increasingly more difficult technical demands that were placed on the violinists of the late eighteenth century by composers of that period. Once the violin and bow had been restructured to meet those demands, many new violin playing techniques were introduced.

Recommendations included additional research.
