Due to its structure, the violin is an instrument that is used in the performance of many musical genres and has an important place today. The violin, which has also found a place in Turkish music culture, has become one of the most important string instruments in Turkish music performance over time. Another factor that makes the violin popular in Turkish music performance is the training of important performers in the field of Turkish music with violin performance. The main reason for the need for technical mastery and the attitude characteristics One of the performance techniques used to strengthen the musical expression in Turkish music violin performance is the Çifte Kiriş performance technique.used by the performers is to create personal expression and strengthen the musical expression. The fact that instrument performance was mostly used as an accompaniment to oral music until the 20th century and the Çifte Kiriş performance technique was almost never used in accompaniment performances, and the fact that there are very few existing sound recordings performed with the aforementioned performance technique causes the Çifte Kiriş performance technique to be forgotten by violin players today. The most important source we have for the Çifte Kiriş performance technique is the example of the taksim in the Rast makam, performed by the violinist blind Recep with the Çifte Kiriş technique. In this study, it is aimed to determine how the Çifte Kiriş performance technique was created in Turkish music violin performance, and why it is being forgotten today when we look at the Turkish music violin performance history and qualitative research method was used to determine the other technical features required in the Çifte Kiriş performance technique by analyzing the violinist blind Recep's Çifte Kiriş performance technique and the taksim performance in Rast maqam. Looking at the archives of audio recordings performed with the Çifte Kiriş performance technique, it is seen that the mentioned performance technique is used only in the performance of two (2) forms. One of them is Taksim performances and the other is Oyun Havası performances. Although the Çifte Kiriş performance technique used in Turkish music violin performance is similar to the Western music violin performance techniques, Double stops (Fr. Double cordes), there are differences in the way it is formed and the Çifte Kiriş performance technique will be created for the Turkish music style. found to be suitable for execution. It has been revealed that the string arrangement created for the Çifte Kiriş performance technique is formed by lifting the second string from the lower bridge and bringing it closer to the first string, and then tuning the second string at half the frequency of the first string. It has been revealed that there is no existing symbol for the Çifte Kiriş performance technique and the transcripts transferred to the notes for the relevant sound recordings will create difficulties for the reader, therefore, a symbol suggestion for the Double Beam performance technique has been made. In line with the analysis of the taksim in Rast maqam, which was performed by the violinist blind Recep using the Çifte Kiriş technique, it has been determined that the position change is of great importance in order to use all notes of any maqam's scale to be performed with the Çifte technique. In order to realize the aforementioned performance technique, the necessity of mastering especially the 1st, 3rd and 4th position changes has been put forward.
