This is the best video on this topic that I've seen. I'll be using it in my classes in the years to come, so please don't remove it! You clarify some things that were missing from Adler's orchestration text.
@@AlexHeppelmann It is a really well done video. It is interesting how the composer often leaves it up to the player to figure out what they want, rather than writing in a string number to make it clear (however cumbersome that might be). For instance, in the Andrew Norman example, in bar three, there is a harmonic on G4, which could just as easily be interpreted as touching the G string at the octave, as touching the D string at the perfect fourth.
Alex - you did a great job explaining harmonics. I appreciate some of the science and theory behind what harmonics resonate with vs those that do not. The one-page chart is useful, and I also really liked the examples, especially Ravel's Tzigane!
Thank you Alex I appreciated your clear explanations and the examples how composers are using harmonics I did not know how they were using it thank you again
Not sure I will ever write music for live players but still found it very interesting as I can now understand scores with harmonics on better. Thanks Alex!
a minor correction (I know this video is a bit older), "sul D" (in reference to the Ravel example) is not the French terminology. It's Italian. 😉 In French we don't use letters to denote the strings, we use the Roman numerals.

Finally someone explaining the harmonics in the best effective way.
Thank you so much!
