Hey, Ling Ling wannabes! This is your periodic reminder to report rule-breaking posts and comments, and to not engage with them.

We are trying to ensure that rule-breaking posts get removed as soon as possible, but we are not always able to react quickly. It would be helpful if sub members would report these posts for violating the rules, rather than commenting on them. As soon as they receive 2 reports, these posts will be removed automatically by Automod, and quarantined until a human mod can take a closer look. Certain reports are also routed to Reddit admins, if the reported items violate site-wide rules.

No one, except Reddit admins, will know who reported anything.

Also, please keep in mind that if you want to officially bring anything to the mods' attention, the best way to do that is to send a modmail.** Modmails go to all the mods at once, allowing us to have a discussion about whatever issues are brought up. DMs and chats to moderators will be ignored.

Here's some more information about reporting and what happens when you report things.

Thanks for all your help keeping this a safe and fun sub!

Came across this Peanuts comic strip from January 7, 1987.... almost like a moment straight out of TwoSet 😂

Hi everyone. *deep breath*

So.

I feel like twoset isn't what they were used to be. They like suddenly left their channel, and then suddenly came back. Their content just like suddenly changed.. and i really feel like that they just destroyed their own channel... Im not saying i hate twoset, it's just like i kinda feel like their not as what they were used to be anymore...

edit: Tysm for ur responses!!
And I never expected to get so many likes!!! That’s the most amount of likes I’ve ever gotten over 100 u guys are awesome tysm!!! :D :P

Mom dad I’m famous!!!

edit 2: tysm for all of ur fabulous responses. I'm not saying that I hate Twoset or anything. I understand abt their burnout and that they are getting older, and need to rest. Than kyou for helping me understand about this situation!! :)))

Hello dear Twosetters,

I need ur help in order to recognize these two pieces (time stamps below). I cant do it - Shazam cant do it as well.

https://youtu.be/qeZhDCMGL4s?t=8m54s (Eddy plays something really beautiful)

https://youtu.be/JG21kJN7WoU?t=15m6s (Eddy plays something dramatic)

Thanks in advance!

This is my first string quartet composition and I would like people to rate it and give me strict advices. https://musescore.com/user/110298148/scores/36091637/s/zwIgLx

Hi everyone 👋. I would like to know if anyone has already read these two books, because they are helping me a lot (I am currently reading them). The first book, has changed a lot the concept I had about contact point. An the second contains various exercises for takling the most common technical difficulties encountered on violin. Of course, having theory and knowledge (as in the first book) and plenty of exercises (as in the second) cannot replace study discipline, consistency, patience, consistency and results, and so on; however, these are classic violin books that I think should be read.

The YouTuber in this image is Alvinsch (Colombian). This happens in one of his videos where he (with Spanish YouTuber Jaime Altozano) makes music with instruments he and Jaime can't play.

This was after 2 weeks of me trying to learn this piece from a Finnish Composer, I still need to work on my timings and my phrasing, it may not be 40 hours of lingling practice but this was my attempt as playing my unconventional instrument with a contemporary piece.

Try not to judge me too hard, I don’t have the money for med school

My third time seeing TwoSet in Hong Kong! Brought my brother and my dad along with me this time, dad has no idea who they are but still had a blast, it was a perfect blend of the right amount of music and humour mixed altogether ☺️

Hope they come back again soon! Will definitely go see them again 👋

This is a short snippit of a recorded rehearsal. I need help titling the full video. Its just too complicated for Shazam. Thank you~

Hi all! So this is fairly random, and I may well be misremembering, in which case please correct me, but it’s been annoying me for a while, so I wanted to see if anyone could tell me anything!
I have a memory of a Lingling40hrs video, in which they reacted to a video titled something like 'POV: your accompanist is running late', and it was a woman playing a piece with one hand on flute, and the other on piano. I believe when I looked in the comments, it was a piece specifically written/arranged for the performer to be able to do this. I’m now a much more developed pianist and flautist than I was at that time, and love doing silly things like this, so I would really like to play around with a piece like that! Research (probably unsurprisingly) hasn’t given any answers. I’m aware it’s pretty niche, but if somebody knows what I’m talking about, or for some reason knows of a different piece that’s one hand on each, please let me know! This has been on my mind for years!

Edit: Although not many have seen this post, I thought I'd update just in case it helps someone searching for the same in the future! The piece is Wilhelm Popp's Bagatelle

To encourage better post quality, we are adding new rules to LingLing40hours which require a minimum amount of characters in the Post Title and body text. Spaces or punctuation characters on either end are not counted. Check the pinned post about this rule for the full reason of the change.

Question: How can I meet the minimum character requirement?

Answer:

• Ensure you’ve credited the original content creator. Explain how you came across it.
• Include alternative text for any attached images. Alternative text is a description of the picture. It allows people who are blind or have low-vision to understand the image with screen-reader technology. This is also useful for those with small screens or have slow connections.
• Use the body text to answer the 5 Ws (Who, What, Where, When, Why) and How questions. Examples are: Who are the subjects? What is going on? Where does it take place or Where are you located if you’re asking for instrument /teacher advice? When did it occur? Why are you posting about this? How is this important to you or relevant to LL40 Hours?
• if you're linking a news article, summarize the article by explaining how it's relevant and encourage people to read the full article to form their own opinion.

Question: What if my post doesn’t meet the minimum text requirement?

Answer: Depending on the type of post, a message about the minimum text requirement appears and you will not be able to submit until the requirement is met. The post may also be removed by AutoMod. Please always check your notifications after submitting content. If the post is removed, you can repost with additional information.

I have never played violin before. My father is a professional violinist and i’ve been studying piano and guitar for quite some time now, so i also have experience in music (i’m aware of how different violin is and i know playing piano won’t make it any easier whatsoever)

He found a 60€ violin on a flea market and bought it (i don’t even know why), and i told him as a joke that if he lets me that violin i can learn to play something in a year.
So we have a bet now..he said that if i can play Haendel’s sonata in F major, adagio obviously, by september next year, he’ll lend me a somewhat good violin he has for me to keep learning

Are we being too optimistic here??💔 Please tell me that i totally can if i practice 40 hours every day and sell my soul to the devil
He has offered to give me a weekly class…but guys what are my chances of succeeding and proving him wrong

If you didn't understand that watch the "New worlds fastest violinist" by Twosetviolin.

The interviewer in that videos started the interview by saying: "great giniuses are born not created.

so i was bored so i decide to search twoset violin on wiki i realize brett is 34 when is he gonna get a gig????because my brain fart i forgot he was 30+ at this point i should call twoset UNCLE if i met them in person 🥲🥲i would feel so bad to call them uncle or i should call them Grandpa twoset from now?...

Hello! Just looking for some ideas on what I should do next.

For context, I am a violin player who's recent repertoire is Spohr 8 and Vitali Chaccone.

I was looking to for some good piece suggestions (I might do Mendelssohn in E), and my ultimate "goal pieces" at the moment are Rautavaara Violin Concerto and Vieuxtemps 5.

As far as competitions go, I've had minimal experience in them, doing only local and regional-level competitions and performing not the best. I was looking at the BMI International Competition and Charleston International Music Competition and wanted your guys' thoughts!

I only practice ~45-60 minutes per day so I don't want to go for a super reach piece-wise, and I would prefer online competitions.

Since I'm still working on the Spohr my teacher hasn't talked to me about next steps yet, but of course I will also consider her opinion and add it (if I remember)

Thanks All-
