Throughout the development of music over the centuries, violin works have also undergone changes from period to period, from school to school and from composer to composer. Violin techniques constitute a part of this change. Violin techniques have shown a significant development line from the Baroque period, when the first major examples of solo violin works were produced, to the music of the 20th century, however in the modern period, these techniques broke out of all their traditional patterns and gained an unprecedented diversity. In this study, which was conducted using the literature review method, traditional violin techniques, the new interpretations of these traditional techniques in contemporary music, as well as extended violin techniques specific to contemporary music have been examined from a historical perspective. While examining and interpreting selected violin techniques, notation examples from selected works are limited to contemporary music, and suggestions are presented to guide composers and performers regarding the techniques.
