Hi guys!
Welcome to another episode of Ling Ling 40 hours.
Ling Ling!
Right now we are in the beautiful city of Vancouver.
You can't see it, it's nice.
It's pretty... Vancou - coolver.
We just came from Seattle, so we're just Seattling down.
So...
How do you do this again? Top?
Two weeks?
There's no two-week. They need a two-week option.
- Past week. - Past week.
Here we go.
- Ohh. Okay, maybe more people are posting, that's why - - Yeah, yeah. Alright, alright, okay, cool.
Okay.
- Every... - Every...
You pick this one, alright, you go.
Every musician ever. Me: doesn't practice.
Me: is bad at my instrument. Me -
Pikaaachu!
Dude, I love the Pikachu memes. They're so good.
This screams viola... S.
- How do you do the small "s"? - I don't know.
This quietly whispers...
Viola.
Just because a piece is hard
doesn't mean it sounds nice.
Ohh!
- Ohh! - Ooh...
Ooh, hard truths, man.
What's a piece that you think is hard doesn't sound nice?
There's plenty. There's plenty.
All Paganini caprices.
George Crumb.
You know, I actually thought of that like
who actually listens to Paganini, like...
For, for pleasure purposes?
- Each to their own... - It's an acquired taste.
It's an acquired taste.
Everyone should know the faster it is
the better it sounds.
Yes.
15 notes a second, indeed.
That's right.
Do you know why I stopped you?
Because I can play 15 notes a second?
No, because you were playing random glisses.
I will have to give you a ticket.
Well, I think Paganini was one of
the first violin rockstars...
Everyone should know the faster it is
the better it sounds.
Yes.
15 notes a second, indeed.
That's right.
15 notes a second, guys.
Oh, yeah. Let's do it.
- Alright. - Alright guys, we're starting a new... New challenge.
It's gonna be way better than the Kiki Challenge.
- It's called the 15 note - - Yeah. 15 seconds challenge.
- Oh, 15 - -15 notes a second
- challenge. - 15 notes a second challenge. That's too long.
Maybe just 15 notes a second.
Yeah, #15notesasecond
One-five notes a second.
Yeah.
Post on Instagram, #15notesasecond.
We're gonna review everyone's...
Everyone's attempt at
breaking the world record for Bumblebee.
Boom!
We should post one as well, let's just make one.
Yeah, we'll do one...
- At the end of this. - We'll do one!
All of us Ling Ling wannabes,
let's all show that guy and break the world record.
Eddy.
15 notes a second.
Have you heard the new Beethoven symphony?
It just dropped last week.
Oh Snapeth. Let us go hither and hear that beep fam.
Too soon.
I blame Brahms. Chamber music time.
Violin...
Cello...
Viola...
Piano...
As they should be. Violas in TwoSet Community:
I'm in danger.
Did you guys watch our viola jokes video?
If not, you should go watch it.
Yeah, because what do you say to a violist...
You're shit.
Bert and Ernie.
Ohhh.
Look at it.
When your teacher wants you to change to the viola
because no one wants to play the viola.
Well thought out viola joke. TwoSet.
What did the (?) say to the violist?
That's kinda true.
If I get 420 likes I'll record myself playing this
at 16 notes per second.
Ooh!
Guys, it's not 16 notes per second.
It's 15 notes per second.
#15notesasecond.
and play the piece.
Post it on Instagram, hashtag

Manga.
Anime.
Netflix Adap -
- Ohh! - Ohh, that's so true!
100 upvotes and I'll play - attempt to pla - what is this...
- John Stump. - I just thought, I just heard the last hope.
Last hope...
C and C-sharp mi - what the hell?
- That's not even C... - Dude, that's not music.
- That's... - This is stupid.
- Seven flats. - Look, it says...
Rhythmic trotting tempo.
Spoken.
- Should we... - Da da ba...
Dude, look at the flats.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
- Dude there's two E-flats, isn't that double flats? - It's like 15 flats.
15 flats equal 15 notes a second.
Flat equals B-flat.
I N T E R E S T I N G.
Are you gonna play those - Yeah, yeah -
Oh! I just did.
Oh!
Let's watch it.
Here we go.

The a-ba-ba-ba.
Alright now 437-bar rest.
- He skipped it. - He skipped it!
- Okay. No, no, no, no, no. - No, no, no, no, no.
- We're doing it.
Mate, I mean, good attempt, but
we're gonna teach you what it means to really be,
have integrity to the composer.
This is musical integrity.
Let's do it. Alright, should we do half, half?
Do you keep the integrity when you play
something slow that's meant to be fast?
No, you have to play everything right
according to the composer's score.
Triple forte.
Ohh, it's C.
- C sharp. - C sharp.
Crescendo... but it's crescendo through a rest.
- 437-bar rest. - Singing...
Slower.
Six sharps.
- Why is there a pause over a sharp? - Why is there sirens?
The sirens because it's the death of music.
Sopranos only.
Ahhhh. Ohhhh.
*Eddy's gibberish*
Okay, that's the viola, skip, skip, skip.
Free chant.
*Chanting*
Go practice.

- Pizz, it's pizz! - Oh.
It's like this pizz, two-finger pizz.
And then...
Stage trumpet.
- Guitar solo. - Gutar solo.
Solo altos or organ.
Alright.
Smash the subscribe button.
What a waste of my life.
Disappointed.
Guess who's looking at memes instead of practicing.
Gotcha there! Touche! Yeah, you got us. Fine.
Guess who's making memes instead of practicing.
Change my mind: guitars are just portable harpsichords.
Historically informed practice is -
Is crap. Change my mind.
Baroque playing is an excuse for
not being able to play harder pieces.
- Ohhh! - Ohhh!
Baroque playing is cause you can't do vibrato.
- Ohhh! - Ohhh!
Viola players cause you couldn't get a job.
- Ohhh! - Ohhh!
If this gets 200 upvotes I'll work on
and post an entire composition.
Oh my gosh.
Slowly sway back and forth while thinking about it.
Yeah.
While being watched by a creepy white man.
I N T E R E S T I N G.
Corporate needs you to find the difference
between this picture and this picture.
- Ohhh! - That is so true.
like what are the difference fortepiano, sforzando...
Like...
Or the caret mark.
Yeah.
And then I found like, that is where like,
the conductor comes in and gets to start like...
Well, this one, to me, this composer uses
this means more of a left hand accent,
and this one's more of a speed accent.
It's just like... Nah... Like...
Mhm...
- Last one. - What?
Ling Ling can use 6th, 7th finger no problem.
Ling Ling has seven fingers.
This is Ling Ling's hands, right, by the way guys.
One hand's like this and the other one is like 40.
