This thesis examines the evolution of violin pedagogy through the artistic and technical collaboration between François Tourte and Giovanni Battista Viotti. It traces the foundations of violin teaching to influential Italian masters such as Antonio Vivaldi and Arcangelo Corelli, whose performance styles and compositional approaches shaped early technical standards. The study highlights how innovations in bow design and expressive technique transformed both instruction and performance practice. By connecting historical artistry with pedagogical development, the thesis demonstrates how these masters established enduring principles that continue to influence modern violin teaching and interpretation across generations.
