THIS GUY PRACTICED FOR 40 HOURS STRAIGHT 

My brain : Imagining Brett and Eddy soooo fangirling to Paganini at concert like Kpop fans

Imagine someone being new to this channel and there so many inside jokes this whole community may as well be a cult

Regarding professional musicians not enjoying it anymore: Some of the best advice I've heard about that came from a music professor at my university. He said that the times of his lack of enjoyment/burnout in his career came when he became ultra-focused on himself (his playing, perfectionism, etc.) only. When he instead also thought about how he could bring joy and happiness to other people through his music, he began to once again feel joy in playing. I'm so thankful for the ways TwoSet does this - so much great advice, encouragement, joy, and laughter brought by these two! Just a thought. :)

The funny thing about the way you said it in Japanese is that it is super polite. Imagine a gangster coming up to you and saying in a deep gravely voice: "Please do your practice"

“Practicing is like a never ending journey. Which is why if you get someone on a talent show that says they’ve perfected their instrument......Run away.” Wow that’s deep

"This guy practiced for 40 Hours straight." When you take gimmicks too far.

Has anyone notice Eddy lately hasn’t been following up with the “legato the subscribe button”? He’s trying to delay the Sibelius drop to give himself more time to practice 😂

“My Japanese sucks” As Japanese Ling Ling, this is a lie. It’s thousand times better than English in subbed anime.

Me: is a non musician Also me after the video: I should go practice

Everybody gangster until you walk into ur lesson and Eddy's there. Edit: Owo thanks for the likes... if Twoset sees I love u guys! You mean so much to so many people! keep it lamentable ;).

I swear, every time they tell me to go practice I can feel this growing dark aura emanating from my old clarinet case that I haven’t opened in 3 years

Brett: Who is Jeff Kinney Me: **cries in diary of a wimpy kid**

I need sleep....

Paganini collecting all the pennies: PENNININI

‘You need an unbreakable ego to play the French Horn’ Me: *plays French Horn because my band teacher in middle school put my trumpet on a shelf too high for me to reach and just told me to try the French Horn instead* ‘........did I miss a memo somewhere?’

"Speed is poor substitute for accuracy." --- I cackled madly at this, as it is true in my line of work as well. When I go for speed, my translation drops in quality (most of which is accuracy, haha!) So when my customers want both speed and accuracy, I ask for more pay, because I have to sacrifice off-work hours (or even sleep hours) to spend on the project to make sure it is accurate. Sometimes I do wish one day really had 40 hours. //laughcry

Him: Practices 40 hours straight Ling Ling: First time?

Brett: Go practice Me, a non-musician: Replacing the word ‘practice’ with ‘study’ in my brain and feeling motivated

"You're either always growing or you're declining." - Eddy 2020.

i love how eddy tried to get it to 40 using complicated math, when all he had to do was add 1, 7, and 8 to get 16, divide by two and multiply by 5

“23 seconds ago” nice Jupiter at the beginning

When you’re not early but you’re not entirely “late” either and everyone already took the good comments 😐

Outro: Brahms: Double Concerto in A minor for violin, chello and orchestra, op. 102 (allegro)

eddy: 'i don't think i'm a good teacher' dude literally everyone has been saying you'd make a good teacher shdfjkw

Ling Ling , Violin Lang Lang, Piano Ting Ting, Triangle The Holy Trinity

Why yall acting like thats impressive, that implies you dont play for 40 hours every day

"Have you seen her hola-hoop Paganini?" In fact, yes. We watched that video in orchestra class yesterday XD

my friend: if you can understand slowly... then technically you can’t understand quickly since u understand slowly.

Piano is actually categorized as a keyboard and is its own catagory. But as a piano player I think "String-cussion" has a better ring to it.

By the way the piece that Eddy played at the beginning is called Jupiter

I think the depression/hatred stage is kinda to be found in any more or less complicated profession. I've been translating research papers as my primary occupation ever since early 2012 (I was doing a major in linguistics and translation back then, so the career choice kinda fit the education); and as much as I sometimes enjoy learning more and more with every translation I do, the job has gradually become a routine rather than a creative experience that once felt so joyous and wonderful. Not anymore, even though finding something new about the nuances of oil transport through pipelines can still be iNtErEsTiN' (or how do you capitalize it?)

No one: Literally no one: Brett: 3:34 “The carrot is the same as a violin. It’s the same colour.” ._.

Everyone: He is the Ling Ling! ( Messiah ) Him: It’s nothing.. *plays the flight of bumblebee*

My most embarrassing moment while playing violin in a church: Knocking over the stand while trying to change the page. Worse was because I was playing with an accompanying track that continued to play while I, red faced, picked up the stand and started over again. Another time while playing keyboard (again in a church) the stand gave way and the KB went crashing down. Why does God hate me?

11:25 I'm a native Japanese! Their Japanese are so good and natural🥰

8:31 - A technique I have used when my neighbors are playing their 70's pop and I just want to garden in my back yard. After a couple hours of this annoyance I just went and got my husband's 70's era boom box - *fantastic* radio reception - and played the Minnesota Public Radio classical station (separate from the news station). Issue concluded within 30 minutes, and I went back to incognito re my music preferences. I actually love these particular neighbors. They're nice people face to face, and invited me over later on for their retirement parties, and we serve on the neighborhood board together. And we never had to have a face to face about this particular issue.

If the guy actually did sit down for 40 hours, he has to be careful that a blood clot doesn't form in his leg.

"can we get some respect for editor san who checks every single note" editor san: *replies thank you with comic sans font*

You know what Eddy? The song you were playing at the beginning got some words added to it, got put in a Lutheran Hymnal (LSB 941), and it is legit my favorite hymn, so thank you!

Can you do a video about the app “Simply Guitar”?I would love to watch you guys roasting it.

90% of comments: “wow I’m so early” The other 10% of comments: “90% of comments: ‘wow I’m so early’”

Just a suggestion! Maybe there could be some special episodes of LL40H sometimes, for some cool stuff that for whatever reason doesn't make it to the actual episodes? I don't know, someone would have to dig them up somehow, but still. I think it's a real shame that e.g. the mangas made by u/Rainkie0729 and u/Yuuri14053 didn't make it. I mean, after Brett and Eddy _asked_ for manga, and some people actually made these things, I really wish the guys could see them! And then there was that movie trailer ages ago by u/twoset-merridian that they definitely should see too.

Story time: in high school, our stages were actually too small, so we had to share stands. Once during a concert, she tried to turn to the next page, but the sheet fell. The girl whose stand she was sharing caught it during a 3 beat rest and managed to still play the next note on time.

He just flexed on me by being able to afford Ben & Jerry's ice cream :'D

Day 2 of asking to make this the motto of the Instrument War "All instruments are equal but some are more equal than others"

Well, Holst was writing The Planets based on their names (i.e., the Roman gods) more so than the individual planets, themselves. For example, "Mars, the Bringer of War" is the full title of the Mars piece. Mars is the Roman name for Ares, the Greek god of war (and, no, you can't start talking about Kratos here). So, in this sense, if someone wrote a piece called Earth, it would be based on the Greek primordial goddess, Gaia. And, to keep with the Roman name theme, the piece would be called Terra.

About the piano, in Spain at least I've always been told that it's "percussed string" (which I think actually translates as "percussion-stringed" because languages) that would include instruments such as the clavichord or the dulcimer.

i am still waiting for Violin Chan to be rescued from that DEMON

Twoset: Jeff Kinney is the person who wrote this comic Every American kid: ItS NoT a CoMiC Edit: Thanks for the likes!

other people: I'm overweight me: I'm molto pesante

Eddy “I’ll be practicing ” DAT SIBELIUS DROP IS COMINGGG

6:10 I can do this all daaay Bach it up Bach it up

Eddy just be like- where’s my memes about me being cute? Brett- *gets showered with crushes*

Twoset: at least editor-san checks notes, unlike that bassist Davie: "I also edit my videos" Me: ('-')7

“ your either alway growing or you always declining.”😌

"Holst forsaw the future" lol. I love this channel. Just rediscovered the violin after my kids started lessons I hadn't really played it since highschool. I am enjoying it so much.

story time for ya’ll linglings and lingling wannabes i was supposed to have school assembly ONLINE with the principal and the vice principal inside zoom class. i got the role of a instrumental playing minimum 2 mins long. i practised for almost more than a week to perfect this piece(its a korean folk song i chose cuz the topic for assembly was “positivity” so the beats are hard to match between right and left hand) the teacher then randomly told me to play the piece to the whole class *during the class, completely random during accounts class* and i said miss i didnt complete the piece yet. then she just- *I THINK I GAVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO PRACTISE AND U STILL HAVENT COMPLETED UR PERFORMANCE? see it only barely takes one day to complete a piano piece and i gave you more than a week(no she didnt).* i was triggered how she said “less than one day to complete, barely” and i raged at my lingling fren. *BRO THIS WOMAN THINKS THE MOTTO “PRACTISE 40 HOURS A DAY FROM LINGLINGS AND WANNABES ARE ALL JOKES AND SHOW FOR RU-vid* and i sent her and now she wants another cut with my face on the video. here i am, 1 hour later, screw practise. i have like 3 hours and idk if i can make another perfect cut. im sorry for personal rage im just rrly triggered.

8:45 “I guess he’s the person who drew this comic” don’t tell me they don’t know diary of a wimpy kid....

I'm glad that you guys are posting more because it genuinely reminds me to practice 😂

"I don't think I'm a good teacher." I beg to differ, your violin tutorial channel is amazing Eddy.

Another special thanks to Editor-san for always fact checking for our violin bois.

Eddy: I'm not a good teacher TwoSet Masterclass: Am I a joke to you??

What we need is a collab between TwoSetViolin and 2CELLOS :D

As for Eddy being a lowkey mean violin teacher... honestly I'd rather a teacher that's brutally honest that can actually teach me something than a teacher who just praises everything I do regardless of whether or not it's good.

Man Eddy, I’ve seen your Pre-fame videos, you’re definitely a great teacher( would be awesome to see a new video on your teaching channel 😢) By the way those “pre-fame” have like 400k views. We miss Eddy Sensei!!!

i misread the title as “THIS STRAIGHT GUY PRACTICED FOR 40 HOURS” and i-

7:30 so, I was singing the United states national anthem at my high school graduation and right as I was supposed to hit the super high soprano note on the word “free”, my graduation cap flew back and hit the person behind me but it was still attached by one Bobby pin so it kept flapping around.

Nobody: TwoSet: “THEY PRACTICED FOR 40 HOURS STRAIGHT!!! :000000” Me: “I mean yea that’s pretty standard, normal”

This guy: *Exists and practice 40 hours straight* Ling ling: *Ah, finally. A worthy opponent!*

Eddy: “but then Pluto was revealed not to be a planet” Brett: “I remember that” me: *calculating how old he is in disbelief* oh and piano is both strings and percussion edit: i meant calculating how *young* he is in disbelief

ayyyyyyyy thanks for the shoutout my dudes (3:38)

4:44 I never knew that I was actually a professional

"dude that's a c!!" Pianists: ... Pianists: we know.

me: i sat on the couch 40 hours straight

I heard you starting homeland and it gave me flashbacks to preforming that in the rain at graduation

My cello teachers', teachers', teacher. Was Pablo Casals. And I'm playing Haydn cello concerto and my cello teacher gave me the same fingering. He used which is really cool.

Why do I feel like they are secretly and unconsciously training us with that triangle, so it gets to a point where us, twosetters, will hear the "ding ding" and get this immediate urge to go practice...like that Pavlov shit

He did practice for 40 hours, i hopped in and out of the stream a few times. I think he took half hour breaks for meals, and I know he took a 30 minute nap with 8 hours left. I was astounded that he woke up and finished after that.

Americans pronounce “mom” like people using the “Queen’s English” (except Canada?) pronounce “ma’am.” I do understand the rational of “mum,” however, since the sound of the U is the same as the O in “mother.”

am i the only one who truly wants eddy and brett to upload more pieces on their spotify?

*On a piano, however, those vibrations are initiated by hammers hitting the strings rather than plucking or by moving a bow across them.* *So the piano also falls into the realm of percussion *instruments. *As a result, today the piano is generally considered to be both stringed and a percussion instrument*

I remember an old video of theirs about music theory. Student Brett: “Pesante... eerrrr... A peasant?” Professor Eddy: “Damn right you are!” I never forgot it 🤣

11:25 I've been studying Japanese for 3 years, your Japanese was pretty good. My critique is that the 「う」'u' in 「練習」'renshuu' is a long 「うう」'ū' so the sound needs to be held a bit longer. There is another word pronounced 「連取」"renshu" with short 'u' which means "scoring in succession". Quite a different meaning, but Japanese people would probably know what you meant based on context. Your 'R's also sound very American, Japanese 'R' sound like a mix of 'R' and 'L'. So from the Japanese's perspective basically you'd have a fairly strong foreign accent. But your pronunciation is not that bad, I've heard much worse.

I really can’t thank TwoSetViolin enough for introducing me to the wonderful, Hilary Hahn. Twoset also made me WANT to practice and get better and possibly become a violinist in the future. I used to practice 10-15 minutes a day but now I practice 3-5 (40). Smh 🤦‍♀️ at the kids in orchestra class that were where I was before because they don’t watch TwoSetViolin. I swear, every kid in my orchestra class that watches TwoSetViolin is ONLY in the first violin section and most likely in a youth orchestra outside of school.

In case anyone wants to know, the piece Eddy was playing in the beginning was Gustav Holst’s Jupiter (I believe).

But Eddy is definitely a great teacher! We can see that from his solo channel

I love that even with so many subscribers and merch and money and recognition they never stopped being two wholesome dorks who're just out here having fun

1:27 I go to art school, but the same applies everywhere. A teacher once told us: 'When you think you have reached perfection, that's when you've stopped growing as an artist.' You can always do more, you can always do better.

Eddy: My Japanese sucks Also Eddy: Has a Twoset shirt that literally says レンシュウ

I’ve played a bunch of outdoor gigs, but nothing beats my university recital hall. Because of my place in the orchestra and band, I was always sat right underneath the air conditioning vent 😂. There was one time where I was switching between several ensembles for several performances in one night. I forgot my clips and basically had to play my flute 1 part in a quintet by memory 😬. My music flew off my stand at the beginning of the first piece. We breathed, started playing, and it flew 🤣

I’m taking the boston conservatory dance intensive right now (over zoom) and one of the repertory pieces we’re learning is choreographed to music from Hilary’s Bach album

I should've seen this before my second wedding gig..

Simp Sibelius! Everyone, SIMP SIBELIUS for 3 Mil!

3:21 Me as an italian non-musician: "I see what you have done here..."

Love the Jupiter at he beginning We were going to play that at our school concert which got cancelled due to Covid

You mention Pau Casals !! Thanks from all Catalunya, Barcelona !!

This dude: Practises for forty hours Everyone: _You did it. You crazy son of Ling Ling, you did it._

I got my violin yesterday! I stayed up until 2 am getting it ready and tuning it. I love it so much! You guys were the inspiration for me to get one.

I don’t even play an instrument, I just love music and your content, so here I am 😄 Thank you, guys! You always make my day brighter 😊 Now I’ll go practice, because I love what I do (not music) and you always inspire me to get off my butt and work harder. Practice! ❤️

seriously, i used to binge all your videos. but.... it's like i never even stopped..cuz still same content. BRUUUH. 😂😂😂
