A Research for Vibrato on Violin in Baroque and Romantic Period

This paper explores the evolution of vibrato on the violin from the Baroque to Romantic period, focusing on its frequency and stylistic changes. In the Baroque era, vibrato was used sparingly, mainly in solo or expressive passages, while in the Romantic period, it became a key expressive tool. Through a comparative analysis of J.S. Bach and Felix Mendelssohn's works and performances by various violinists, the study shows how vibrato evolved from an ornamental technique to a central means of conveying emotion in music.
