巴洛克時期正逢樂器改良、樂器地位提升，加上歌劇作品的需求，小提琴越來越受歡迎，也促使更多專業小提琴家誕生，義大利的湯瑪斯・韋塔利(Tomaso Antonio Vitali, 1663-1745)在十八世紀時是出名的小提琴演奏家，本文將以他的著名作品《夏康》(Chaconne)來討論巴洛克時期常使用的弓法。
而因為學習需求量大，十八世紀開始，關於小提琴演奏的專書紛紛出版，讓業餘的小提琴家可在家自學，也讓小提琴教師能精進自己的演奏技巧。當時有三本巴洛克小提琴演奏專書先後出版，包含法蘭西斯科•傑米尼亞尼(Francesco Geminiani, 1678-1762)的《小提琴演奏之藝術》(The Art of Playing on the Violin, 1751)、德奧小提琴家雷奧波德・莫札特的(Leopold Mozart, 1719- 1787)《小提琴演奏的基礎原則》(A Treatise on the Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing, 1756)及法國小提琴家拉貝爾 (Joseph-Barnabé Saint-Sevin dit L'Abbé le Fils, 1727-1803) 的《小提琴的準則》(Les Principes du Violon, 1761)。另外，朱塞沛・塔悌尼(Giuseppe Tartini, 1692-1770)創作的變奏曲《弓法的藝術》(The Art of Violin Bowing)使用多種不同節奏，可從中看到當時的弓法變化。
本文共分為三個章節，第一章將概述巴洛克時期的音樂環境及流行曲種，第二章會分別介紹四本巴洛克時期重要的小提琴演奏文獻，第三章則以韋塔利《夏康》為主討論巴洛克時期的弓法，並與當時的演奏法專書及作品來相互應證。

Violin became more important during the Baroque period because of the prosperity of opera. The instrumental evolution not only promoted the ability of instrument, but also provoked more virtuosic violinists during the eighteenth century, such as Italian violinist Tomaso Antonio Vitali (1663-1745). This essay will focus on his famous violin work, Chaconne, concentrating on Baroque bowings.
The publishing of treatises on violin playing flourished during the eighteenth century. Due to the huge demand of violin learning, these tool books helped both amateur and professional violinists to improve their playing skills. There were three treatises of Baroque violin playing published at the time, including: The Art of Playing on the Violin (1751) by Francesco Geminiani (1678-1762), A Treatise on the Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing (1756) by Leopold Mozart (1719- 1787), and Les Principes du Violon (1761) by Joseph-Barnabé Saint-Sevin dit L'Abbé le Fils (1727-1803). “The Art of Violin Bowing” by Giuseppe Tartini also contained lots of variations to introduce different bowing possibilities.
This essay includes three chapters. The first chapter delineates the musical environment and popular genres of Baroque period. The second chapter will survey four Baroque treatises on violin playing. The final chapter will discuss the Baroque bowings focusing on Vitali’s Chaconne, to testify to the various bowings stressed in these treatises.
