Hey Ray, I'm looking to play La Campanella but the double stop section is rather confusing, how should I start? Additionally, how should I make sure the artificial harmonics stay in tune consistently?

Ah, if only blackpink had included the harmonics section in their track...

No, but your question is a good one. This is where having more opinions probably makes sense because everyone's hand is shaped differently, some people have more trouble with certain techniques than others. Would recommend you search for the "Advanced Violinists" group on Tonic - they could help you with fingerings and advice if you upload the part in the sheet music you're having trouble.

My personal take on harmonics and intonation would be to always check the "real notes" by checking to see if the 4ths are in tune and placed as intended.
