How's it going?
Welcome BACK!
It's been a while that we've done a Ling Ling 40 Hours,
the most talented Subreddit on the Internet.
(Eddy) Before we get started,
Baethoven would like to...
...send you a love heart.
He's like, "Thank you for practicing and loving classical music!"
Baethoven and the Peach and Sky Collection...
I got this on the back too, in case you didn't see...
- (Eddy) "Practice"! - (Brett) "Practice"! Always!
That's what I'm doing right now,
preparing for what's coming up in a few months...
Good stuff.
Alright! Let's get into it!
"I like to eat".
"I like puppies".
Ooookay! See, if you don't know music theory,
- it could go terribly wrong. - Yeah.
"I like to eat puppies".
- Oh, that's cute! - That's cute!
Even the cat's like, "You should be practicing.
Don't put your violin down."
It's so snug.
It's like, narrow.
But now your violin's gonna be very hairy.
Ahahahaha!
This was in Melbourne, right?
- Ahh! - Ahh, that's so funny!
- There's been a few times where - Yeah.
we'd be recognized, and we hang out with Ibo,
and then they're like...
- "Wait... are you... Ibo?!" - (Brett) Ibo?!
It's Ibo's, like, first time as well,
so he's just like,
"Yeah, I guess so!"
- Oh nice! - Oh wow!
If only all Godzillas were like that,
- they'll become Harpzillas. - Mmm.
Rah!
Except, wouldn't the bridge be vibrating like crazy?
- Actually, yeah... - Cars would be like...
The cars will...
Yeah.
- "I'm going to marry Brett Yang in 2023!" - Woah!
"Not if I marry him first!"
Woah!
One at a time, people!
There's only one of me!
If this video gets 100 thousand likes,
- Brett will be married to... - Anonymous.
Uggggggh, that's disgusting!
Can you imagine...
Okay, I can make it worse:
- dropping the lollipop stick in the F holes of a string instrument. - Oh God...
Ohhhhh that is nasty!
And if you leave it there,
the ants will start coming, like...
- That's sacrilegious. - Sacrilegious.
You need to respect instruments.
Who is this?
- Oh, Melbourne! - "Spotted in Mel"- again?
Ohhhhh, I remember!
I remember you guys had um...
- They had a concert, right? - Yeah, you guys had a concert coming up,
and you had rehearsal that morning?
- I think so, right? In Hamer Hall, I still remember. - Yep.
Nice! How was your concert?
- I hope it went well! Yeah! - Hope it went well, mmm.
Oof.
Like an actual piano?
And then you turn around, it goes,
"Steinway & Sons"...
- Oof! - You're like, "Ooh...!"
I feel like for musicians,
that's a bit like just looking at a corpse,
hanging and repurposed as a decor.
And imagine, like, you cut open a violin
and made it like a shelf...
I think that instrument would rather be played.
"(Both buttocks)"...
"Turn around"...
"Sit on keyboard and jump back to
normal position without losing the tem..."
- NO. - Contemporary composers.
Can you imagine the velocity of...
And both buttocks!
- It's not just one! - Mmm...
Also, your butt has to cover from like,
the low F to the top F.
- It's like... - So you actually need a- quite a thick butt.
- Three octaves, man... - I know!
Your butt has to be like, this wide.
- Gotta drink more bubble tea. - Yeah.
"The kid who is at the doctor"...
"The doctor with perfect pitch tells the kid
that his heart beats in e flat"...
Oh my God, the mother.
Can you imagine that?
I'm so proud of this 9-year-old kid
- that made this beautiful meme. - Yeah.
- You understand how perfect pitch jokes work! - Yeah.
Wish I could hear my own heartbeat.
You can just do this.
- I just hear my tinnitus. - Yeah, same.
I can tell you what pitch my tinnitus is!
Oh, I don't even know how...
- Dude, you sound like a Death Eater! - I can't get high!
"Inside you, there are two wolves."
"Inside Mozart there were like eleven or twelve..."
"that's why they called him Wolfgang."
What the hell...!
- That's actually pretty funny! - That was good, I like that!
Mozart was alpha.
- Alpha Wolfgang! - Dude, Alpha Wolfgang! You don't know!
Lmao...!
"The Rite of Spring"? Yeah, mmm, relaxing.
I can imagine the first time the listener listens to "The Rite of Spring",
they'll make no sense of it.
- I remember the first time I heard it, I thought it was... - Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun...
Dun, dun, dun...
- I like that bit. It was like, head banging. - Yeah... yeah.
- But then there were other bits that were just like, strange. - Yeah yeah.
Playing it is kind of cool and stressful too.
I remember going on tour once...
AYO tour 2013, we played "Rite of Spring".
Almost every concert, a violist always plays out of time.
- Can you imagine just one viola going like...? - Was it always a viola?
It's always in the viola section!
Do you know, it's like
"ONE two DUN dun DUN dun dun DUN dun DUN dun"...
And then this one person goes... "BANG".
He's just...!
- Had to be the violas. - It had to be in the violas.
It's alright.
- It's forgivable, because it's the viola section. - Yeah yeah, it's- of course.
- Yeah. - It can't be too perfect, 'cause...
- Yeah. - Youth orchestra! You have to relax a bit.
I've seen this.
We are a PG channel...!
- The best part is Debussy's most famous work, "Claire de Lune"... - Mhm.
That is early Debussy.
His most popular works are his early works,
and then his, probably most respected works,
like "La Mer", is like, middle,
and late Debussy is kinda like...
- It's more obscure, like um... - Aha...
Like his violin or cello sonata.
So I mean, he's not wrong.
But um...
Oh my God.
- "Music connects people." - Bro!
I don't know if that's how I want to connect with people.
At least, like, connect to the floor, you know?
They just had to leave this girl here, like, hanging!
- Nah, surely they knew what they were doing, bro! - Yeah.
- They can't have not looked at that and been like, "Oh...!" - Oh, do you know what they're meant for?
Contemporary music connects people.
I'm just- I'm just joke-
Just kidding!
Oh, really!
He made his pieces easier?
Is that true?
'Cause that's depressing.
Can you imagine Paganini's like,
"Oh, actually, this is the easy version."
- But I totally could imagine... - Yeah!
"Apparently, it was actually meant on one string,
but you peasants would never know
- how to do double stops on one string. - Yeah!
- I'm just gonna give you four strings do deal with that complexity." - Yeah.
Can you imagine the double stop,
- it's actually instead of like, two notes, right, double stops... - Yeah.
You're doing, like, tremolo so fast,
you hear two notes at the same time. It's like...
Can you imagine?
- Oh look! It's you! - "Hey Brettcat"!
- Wow! - That cat actually looks so human.
Wow, look! We have the similar nostrils! Look at...
Mmm!
- Oh, oh... - Oh my...
What is up with this?!
u/StraussWaltz, very funny.
I love how they blocked the name out just to save the shame.
"[Something] Middle School Chamber Orchestra"...
"Music connects us".
Hey look, at least they're holding hands.
See? That's why if you want proper music apparel,
- go to TwoSet Apparel. - Yes.
We execute things in a different manner.
- Smash Bros, let's go! - Woo!
- I can't believe I lost. - Hahaha!
Ahhhh yeah!
Wow!
We saw that.
It is the coolest thing ever!
- I love it so much. - Thank you so much to all the fans in Taiwan!
You guys are incredible.
I'm sure Mozart, Shostakovich,
Bach, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky are super proud.
- I'm actually at a loss of words. - I know.
Do you know which station it is?
I think it's near Weiwuying.
If you guys are there in Taiwan,
go check it out and send us more photos!
- Yeah! - I wanna see it!
- It's there for a month, I believe. - Yes.
So, I mean...
- Was it October 20-something... mmm. - ... 23rd, I believe? Yeah.
Yay!
I love how in the very acceptance email, they were like...
See?
Musicians don't waste time!
We go straight to practice and prepare for the concert!
Better work on your sight reading!
- Or just go on IMSLP and listen to the recording. - Mmm.
Aw, that's so cute!
Starting with a great instrument.
It's so small! It's like a baby cello.
It's so tiny, it could almost be like a huge viola.
I almost thought it was like a guitar for a second.
- Like the size... - Yeah yeah yeah.
Oh my goodness!
Dude, my mouth is literally watering.
Well, I guess we're going to have to have
- cake on the menu... - Cakes?
Look at this! What is that?
Is that bubble tea-flavored cake?
- It says "Tchaikovsky"... - "Tchaikovsky"...
"Beethoven Brownies"?
- Dude, that's genius. - I love it!
What was the likes we said we'd get last time?
I feel like it was 80 thousand. Let's check.
- It's on 58. - Ooh...
Uh, well...
I think we should just make a bubble tea store,
- 'cause we obviously want to! - Yeah.
- Guys! Just like the video, - Yeah!
and we will open a bubble tea store!
If we hit 80 thousand likes on both videos total,
we will open a bubble tea cafè!
- Oh! - Woah.
Oh!
- Alright, I think that's uh... - That's it for today!
Thank you so much for watching, everyone!
