Welcome back to another episode of Ling Ling 40 Hours.
The best subreddit for all things TwoSet Violin related.
That's right.
The top post for this week...
was quite special to us.
We'd like to share it with you.
Let's read it together now, shall we?
It's a good addiction to have!
Yeah.
Mm.
- Aw, that's awesome! - "...again." Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait.
For a new instrument, do you mean the violin?
'Cause that'd be epic!
- Switch from piano gang to violin gang! - That's right!
- Welcome! - Yay...!
We welcome all piano gang people to violin gang.
Very true.
That's so awesome.
I often feel like we're just making dumb, funny videos.
- Roasting people and you know, like, violin. - Yeah
But I mean, it's so cool to see that.
Just, like, the positivity in this community.
Next one!
Oh okay.
- All right, let's see. - Ooh, let's listen.
She's legit.
She's good!
Very nice! You get a like.
Sharp, you get a sharp.
Next one.
Ha!
Not just sad, it's very...
...asymmetrical sad.
Why is there laughs in vio-
- Laughs in any orchestral musician basically. - Yes.
But primarily the brass and percussionists.
Yeah, and actually a tip:
You should know the music, so you don't have to count all of it.
- Definitely. - You're not gonna count 82 bars!
Yeah, I never count 82 bars.
Just learn the music,
and then know like, 4 bars,
- how it sounds before you come in, and you're good. - Yeah, yeah.
Or you can rely on the conductor cue.
But then, if the conductor messes up,
- you're screwed. - Yeah, yeah.
You're both in trouble.
Better to know the music.
Dude, it's like, "Aw, crap."
It still baffles me, like...
And I'm like, "How? Why?"
It's like the Death Note.
Yeah, yeah!
- The moment you pen the last note, it's like... - The Ninth Symphony...
- There is something legendary about it though. - Mm.
If I was a composer, too,
I think I would just want to have nine symphonies.
- And I would pour my heart and soul into the ninth symphony. - Yeah.
'Cause imagine you're like Haydn, you have 108.
- And then no one listens to them 'cause there's too many. - Yeah. Yeah!
It's too many, it all starts sounding like...
- "Eh, it's Haydn." - Yeah.
But Beethoven...
- Yeah... - He really set that standard.
Don't kill me for this, but like...
For Beethoven, I love like...
seven out of his nine.
One out of the nine, I don't mind.
And one of them, I'm just like...
Which one? Can you tell me?
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!
- We can't say it. - Yeah.
We don't wanna get attacked by Beethoven fans but...
Beethoven is great, guys.
We're just being picky.
Ha!
I'm containing my laughter.
That's pretty funny.
Oh!
Do, re, mi...
Laughs in quarter tones.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Wait, that would be a quarter tone, right?
- Guys... - No!
Classical musicians love their instruments.
- We built this bond for our whole lives. - Yeah.
- Yes, there's a connection there. - Mhm.
What's that meme from like, Thanos,
where he's like, got that little dagger pen, he's like...
"The universe, perfectly balanced."
- Oh, right! It's like... - "As all things should be..."
I would change the pop to like...
...post-Romantic.
- And they will be perfectly balanced. - Yes, yes, yes.
I think so, too.
- That's a pretty epic edit, whoever did that. - Yeah.
- Whack! Whack! - Bam!
Did you guys watch the Menuhin Competition
that's happening now?
I mean, it's this weird mix of inspiration and depression.
Yeah, actually I was actually...
- initially like, super inspired. - Yeah.
And I would go through these phases, it's like...
- Inspiration... confidence is gone... - "Well, I'll never be able to do that."
- Inspiration... Oh... - "But it sounds so amazing, you know."
AH! Oh...
Child prodigies be playing with our emotions.
- Ooh! - Oh! This is funny.
Oh, this is long.
Things like that happen.
- Life gets busy, things get in your way. - Yeah.
It's always how you pick yourself back up...
which is important, and that's what this person is doing.
So good on you.
Dude, this one only posted one day ago!
Dude!
Wow!
- Wait, what's 2,100 divided by 60? - Yeah, it's so many minutes!
35 hours!
- Oh...! I'm gonna like it. - Yo, let's get it to 2,400.
Upvote now! Let's go!
One more minute from us.
I love that guy's still a meme. That face.
Oh, man.
You know, the practice does take a lot of your brain power.
Every last brain cell.
♪ Fa... ♪
Pianists are like...
"Easy!"
Wait, why can't guitarists play it?
Oh, it probably won't resonate that long?
Yeah.
Oh, that's the...
...video we did with the R21 guy.
- Yes. - Did you guys watch the R21...
- That was a very interesting video. - ...video?
We are starting a war on Instagram and TikTok.
- We have to get the respects for violin back. - Yes.
Respect Violin-chan.
1 million followers, please, on Instagram and TikTok!
- Whoa...! - Ooh...
That's sick!
Wow, I look... buffer.
I look very, very handsome...
- with my handsome jawlines. - Damn...
We both have glasses now.
I miss the days when I didn't need glasses! Damn it!
Yeah, me too.
Oh dude, that was like... what?
20 years ago.
- 2 prodigy lifespans ago. - Yeah, 2-
That's a cool drawing. Who is it?
Thank you very much.
Oh, I love this guy. His Paganini is insane.
Yeah.
Yes, let's go, Alexander Markov.
Dude, always impressive.
- I used to listen to his Pag 4 when I was learning it. - Yeah, me too.
- All of his Paganinis. - Yeah.
- 'Cause I think he did all of them in one go, actually, in a concert. - Yeah.
All Pag 24 Caprices.
You know what's funny?
The second phrase of the first half of the pizzicato,
it sounded like someone just pressed 2X speed.
I legit thought...
"Did I touch something?"
Then moved my mouse over.
- Wow... - I need to practice after seeing that.
Bang!
I don't get it.
Uh...
- Ah... - Is it like, it's very sudden?
- Like, go from this, "Wow!" - Oh yeah, like, it's smooth, yeah!
- Okay, yeah... it's true. Yeah. - Yeah...
- I can relate. - Yeah.
Legit!?
No way!
Damn. Is that actually still on there?
I'm gonna look it up.
- No! They took me down! - No! Someone removed it!
No...!
Guys, we need to put it back up there.
This is disrespectful.
Please help me get back onto Wikipedia.
- Yo, that's sick! - That's awesome!
The Mercury.
Yeah, that's awesome.
It's like you got the...
- The Ignition Weapon. - Yeah, Ignition, yeah...
Yeah, Ignition Weapon!
- Woo...! - Bam! Yeah.
Why is everyone in our reddit just so talented?
They're good at music, they're good at drawing...
- Everyone's an artist. - Yeah.
You're all so creative.
- I'm so proud of you guys. - Yeah.
I feel so inferior.
Ha ha ha...
- Oh... that's pretty funny. - That's so good.
F...
What is that?
There you go.
All right, guys.
Thanks for watching!
Remember to practice.
Yes.
So your confidence will not be damaged too hard
by the child prodigies.
All right, guys.
