You have to try on the violin yourself to see whether is it true as all violinists claiming it that hard though.
If this score is translated into piano main melody with another accompaniment, well it's quite hard even these notes are in one hand!

Imagine a rap battle, but it's for violin. Paganini and Hahn stand facing each other in the streets, glaring. Paganini pumps out a flawless and moving rendition of his own 24th Caprice. The crowd shouts "OHHHH" and "AYYY," with no belief that anything could possibly to that. A bead of sweat trickles down the back of Hilary's neck. "No one said this was gonna be easy," she thinks. Without breaking eye contact she starts cranking out her own, even more ambitious rendition of the SAME CAPRICE, right in front of Paganini's shell-shocked face. The crowd goes absolutely ballistic as they heave Hilary Hahn up into an 1810's style crowd surf
