Thank you guys so much for playing my piece, I’m so honored to have been featured!!!!!! I’m so touched by all the supportive comments, thank you all so much

The first piece sounds so beautiful!🥺 Totally has the Studio Ghibli vibe down

Composer of the last piece here!!! I can't believe I made it into the video lmao, it's an honour to see a piece I wrote being played by TwoSet. Beautiful playing and I hope y'all liked it. All the other pieces were amazing to listen to, interesting textures and captivating themes all around!! I would've really liked to hear Hypersonic Superconductor performed again with more rehearsal time, it was already sounding fantastic. Looking forward to the next fan composition event :)

Thank you guys for playing "At The Carnival". What an honour! I have enjoyed the other works as well. I would love to hear "Hypersonic Superconductor" again when it is better rehearsed. 😂😂

Truly, the lingling community are the most talented people in the world.

I wouldn’t have minded if you took it slower 😂 but thank you all so much for giving it a try, it’s really amazing to see my work end up on this channel!

How can they just say "nice" after playing the most beautiful piece I've ever heard😭😭

I appreciate this so much 🙏🏼 I can imagine how stoked the ones that got their pieces played must be right now ✨ I remember my first time I got a real string quartet play my piece for the first time. It was unreal. Beautiful work everyone!

The piece cerulean is beautiful, it felt as if you were dancing in the sky and hopping on clouds, and at the end it felt like the sun was setting so it was time to go home

*_All of Fan compostions music_* 1. 1:01 Cerulean - Kevin Ou (17) 2. 3:36 Scherzo in G minor - Ali Afofi (17) 3. 5:48 At The Carnival - Low Shao Ying 4. 8:01 Hypersonic Superconductor - Will Wyant (23) 5. 10:54 Canon on the Theme 'Squeeze on your Legs' - Yifei Zheng (26) 6. 13:03 Elegy for String Quarter - Chun Hei Lau (22)

Never thought a 17 year old would ever give me chills with a classical composition but here we are... Would have been fooled if you told me it was legit Ghibli.

I love the energy Georgii brings to videos. I know he doesn’t say much, but there’s just something so fun and calming about his presence. And when he does say something it’s always funny

The Chinese name for that Yunnan Folk Song (which was translated as ‘Squeeze on your legs’ here) is 朝你大胯捏一把, which literally means 'Grab you on your crotch（胯）'...According to the lyrics, it would be the guy who gets grabbed on the crotch, not by the woman, but by the woman's husband😂

“It’s funny though, cause Georgii’s a violinist” I SEE U HAVE RAN OUT OFF VIOLIST FRIENDS HUH

The superconductor piece legitimately seemed IMPOSSIBLE to sight read. So many of these compositions were so beautiful. I'd absolutely listen to more of these people's work.

The last piece of music was the most complex in tone complimentary harmonies. Well done.

Two set fans are indeed the most talented fans🤩🤩

Ok… the ling ling twosetters are so powerful now- next an ORCHESTRAL EDITION

I think I would cry if someone gave me the fourth one to sight read. Sooo many time signature shifts lol. Y’all did so well and all the composers were incredible!

Cerulean (Kevin Ou) 1:00 Scherzo in G minor (Ali Afifi) 3:36 At the Carnival (Low Shao Ying) 5:48 Hypersonic Superconductor (Will Wyant) 7:59 Canon on the Theme 'Squiz on Your Legs' (Yifei Zheng) 10:54 Elegy for String Quartet (Chun Hei Lau) 13:03

They all sound incredible! Props to all the composers!

The first one is already incredible! It reminds me so much of howl's moving castle The second one sounds sooooo interesting in a positive way. I can imagine a girl dancing/running through a castle at night The third one plays really well with imagination! The scene The composer described and the piece went perfectly hand in hand, from the juggler to the romantic sound of dancing with the girls to the fast running like progression, LOVED IT! The fourth is a bit confusing to listen to imo because there's so much going on but I bet it's fun to play and I liked the melody you could hear from time to time The fifth, awsome start 👌 Love the melody! The argument is rly well portrayed imo I love it! As well as the guy leaving at the end. Piece nr 6 👀 OOOOOO the harmony 🥰 gosh I love how it progresses! THE VIOLA SOLO SLAAAAAY 👀👀👀👀👏 Twosetters are just so incredibly talented! Huge applause to everyone 👏 (Excuse the lack of proper terms for the pieces I'm not a musician)

Elegy was such a gorgeous piece! Goosebumps throughout for me. I love how well the darker and more mellow tones of the cello and viola were truly brought out in it. I really hope to one day be able to hear a professional recording of it because it made me FEEL so many things. (And this version was great too! Just wondering what I'd be able to feel if it was more rehearsed!) Lovely video as always!

How I wish they could record all their fan's composition and put it in a CD or to their Spotify playlist. These compositions are superb!

The third piece is so creative!! The idea of mixing the dissonance with this storyline was so good and actually sounded so amazing!😍

I am utterly blown away by that last piece. It was so beautiful that I genuinely nearly cried.

I loved the storyline of the carnival one! I was able to see it all so clearly, when the two boys literally scrambled over each other in the measures to try to get home, the surprise of realizing what time it was, the slamming of the door, it was all there! I LOVED how you intertwined the storyline into the music, incredible!

I loved all of cerulean, super evocative and well written. And I really liked the moment in the scandalous folk song at 11:41 . How the cello comes in, and how the counter lines enter. And the last one really beautiful, skilled performance and tasteful dynamics bring out the most of the harmonies.

OMG YES I LOVE FAN COMPOSITIONS Edit: These pieces sound *DIVINEEEEE* the TwoSetters are *SMASHINGGG* IT, the INSANE level of pure LingLing TALENTTTT

"If you can compose it slowly you can compose it quickly" Mozart: And I took that personally

At 4:39 I noticed this small detail. I loved seeing the smile form on Jiaqi's face. One of the best moments in the whole video.

The first piece, "Cerulean," definitely takes inspiration from musical scoring unique to Ghibli, and might I add, reminded me of the BGM for the anime Victorian Romance Emma, especially ball scenes in Season 2. Some musician-composers are just so phenomenally gifted with weaving sounds into colors and transporting you to particular times and seasons. I'd love to have Kevin's work adapted in a Ghibli film, the piece is playful and innocent, but deep and tender, and almost sad towards the end. Marvelous art. The piece that followed, Scherzo in G, gave me serious, serious Sorcerer's Apprentice vibes. :) The third piece, At the Carnival, put a big smile on my face--seems like the quartet enjoyed it too. It's amazing how music can seem to tell a completely story (or at least, play a scene) so magically. "Hypersonic"--cool, because you can literally appreciate science in the sounds that you hear individually, and then combination just seals the deal. I don't know much about music, but the main word that got to me was 'modern.' "Canon-Squeeze Your Legs" is beautiful, could definitely feel the Chinese influence, and the passion across notes really comes translates. Found the end to be particularly endearing, a touch of bittersweet, before things are resolved in a tender, comforting way. By far the best for me was "Elegy." Truly loved how the composer captured 'lushness' through the different textures involved that swelled and came together so harmoniously (and heartbreakingly so). There is something so captivating and hauntingly tragic about this piece--and that end. I can't explain how unsettling it is while also being hopeful. Music is a mystery. Bravo to all four of your for doing such a splendid job!

This is a bit unrelated but Georgii, loved your composition which Twoset played on Eddy's birthday and I hope your family is doing fine!!!

Them stressing out about the hypersonic piece is the funniest thing I've seen all week.

1st = studio gibli 2nd = every jane austin novel adaptation 3rd = disney 4th = trapped in 4th dimension 5th = vikings but chinesse vibes 6th = interstellar. Outerspace

the last piece had so much beauty in it. it was like my ears where going to heaven and i just start drooling because i lose completely myself to the beautiful harmonies uuf....

10:22 I kinda wished that the piece by Yifei Zheng, Canon on a Theme "Squeeze on Your Legs", had the melody line for the cello too. It would be like the man making his case to stay the night or not. Lovely piece, nevertheless!

Because I tend to focus on the mechanical side of music which is theory, I often don't see the emotional beauty or turmoil a piece is trying to represent. It is rare that a piece overwhelms me with emotion so much that I begin to weep. However, that is exactly what happened when I heard Elegy for String Quartet. Chun Hei Lau has at the same time moved me to tears and opened my eyes, and for that I must give my deepest appreciation.

dat ending chord on the Elegy, TEACH ME YOUR WAYS THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

Time stamps: Cerulean - Kevin Ou (17) 1:01 Scherzo in G minor - Ali Afifi (17) 3:37 At the Carnival - Low Shao Ying 5:49 Hypersonic Superconductor - Will Wyant (23) 8:00 Canon on the Theme ‘Squeeze on your legs’ - Yifei Zheng (26) 10:55 Elegy for String Quartet - Chun Hei Lau (22) 13:05 These are all aMaZiNg and iNtErEsTiNg compositions. Love them!

Always love this series!! A chance when Twosetters shine together with Twoset!! Lots of love and respect to all the fan composers and Twoset and their friends for doing this!!

I hardly comment and I know nothing about playing an instrument or composing a piece but I'd like to share what these pieces evoked in my mind! •'Cerulean' is a beautiful piece and I can absolutely hear the Ghibli/Hisashi influence. I could also imagine it in an RPG/JRPG style game it was really amazing! •'Scherzo' for some reason makes me think of old cartoons before voices were really added to characters. It makes me picture a dusty color pallet in autumn maybe the late morning of Halloween or the day prior. Some mischief is about to happen or someone is plotting~ •'At The Carnival' definitely helps with the description that the composer provided. Two kids running around enjoying themselves at something like a carnival or street market and then a feeling of being rushed or late home. Great imagery! •'Hypersonic Superconductor' makes me think of an 'old future' style movie intro just paper shuffling and big retro machines printing things and 50's style clothing and hair. •'Cannon on the Theme' sounds like intro music I would hear on an HBO original and I don't think that's a bad thing! I can see one of those artsy intros like from Westworld playing in the background. •'Elegy for String Quartet' makes em think of a hard journey through the night to be met with a pink and blue and grey sunrise. There's a moment of respite for the weary traveler or maybe their journey is over. Again I'm definitely no one who matters in regards to the actual composition or playing of these pieces, but I liked all of them and I think it's really incredible that people so young could make these in like a week! 😳 🤯 🥳

All the pieces were amazing, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be At the Carnival! I could literally visualize the story as they played along and it was so fun to see/hear 😂😂

The fact that there was a Simply Piano ad before this wonderful video is devastating Edit: I love the way the TwoSet Quartet was just vibing at 6:16

Lots of viola solos in these pieces 💗

That hypersonic sightreading made my day 💓 Big shout out to the hyper-talented composers in the twoset community. Splendid work!

the"squeeze on ur legs"one is actually a yunnan folk song called"朝你大胯捏一把"🤣，which recently became a meme song.

No disrespect to any of the other compositions since I loved them all but the first one hit it out of the park! I had to get a blanket it gave me so many chills. Fabulous job.

So many talented people. And wow the composers o.O Great you guys are offering some public space and talent to brings these young composers to our attention

Idk if anyone commented, but #2 Scherzo means “joke” or “prank” in Italian… it’s nice how the jovial and funny mood was so evident, and how they laughed throughout the performance

Back in my day, we didn’t have any “friends” to play instruments with us. We would have to play the whole thing by ourselves! I remember fondly how kids would take a vacation to Chernobyl in hopes of growing other arms. Kids these days and their “help”.

Omo wait... Is Georgii playing the viola? He plays so well. I love it.

Kevin Ou's piece was really special, it got me close to tears at one point. The 1st violin part at the very end was definitely reminiscent of Princess Mononoke ♥️

I think the last piece has a tendency (idk if it's the right term but you get it) to become an orchestra piece.... All of these pieces does but the last one really gives me the vibes of an orchestra... That is my opinion.... Idk what's yours

"you very talented linglings out there were able to compose these in 1 week" if you can compose slowly, you can compose quickly

It's so inspiring to see so many wonderful compositions written for the complexity of a quartet, especially those written by younger composers!

Who remembers the country waltz from the first fan compositions video. i love that piece !

Yo if the scherzo composer is here, I just want to tell you that the peace gave me chills, I loved it so much, I'd love it to see it on KZfaq or even Spotify. Cheers and good luck with the uni

Brett and Eddy are great promoters of classical music. This kind of video motivates me to compose so I can get Ling Ling's power! I posted my first compositions and your feedback is welcome 🎵

Every time Twoset plays Twosetter's compositions I really have a good time. It's so nice to hear the compositions of people who are living on the same timeline as me. Georgii and Jiaqi did well with Brett and Eddy, I had fun especially with Jiaqi's expressions throughout the whole video. His smile is contagious, and it really amazed me to see it change completely by the end of the video.☺️ Very nice video, everyone!👏👏👏 This is a mighty special episode.❤️

wow, they’re all gorgeous but i just can’t stop replaying that last piece

14:19 AAAAAAAAAA THAT CHORD SO PRETTY

What a lovely idea: fans compose music for a very talented group to play. I was most impressed with every piece. All different and beautiful in their own uniqueness. Thank Blokes, for interpreting the works so gently, stirringly and lovingly. Simply wonderful. Thank you all so very much.

FINALLY! I have been waiting for months! This video inspired me to go back make compositions again. Also, were almost 3.60m subs!!!! Congrats guys Edit: also, we need part 2! If you have time though, because we want to see more fan compositions and get a chance for our pieces be played.

I loved their facial expressions during the Hypersonic one, they were just having so much fun trying to scramble it together. The Squeeze on your legs was just beautiful. It had this kind of vibe and powerful and rich sound, I really had goosebumps. And the last one...just perfect.

Hi guys, my name is Saray, i'm from Chile, and maybe you can't belive it, but i'm LAWYER, the last year i lived with 6 musician, and now i'm impregnant of music and i LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, i can't read music, or even undertand everything what you talk, but i'm obssesed with your videos and fun, thank you for aproach to classical musical to people like me, and make us enjoy it

I lovedddd the studio ghibli inspired composition!! I recently binge watched a bunch of studio ghibli and that composition was amazing!!

I loved this. I love the way Brett came out of his chair for the pizz part in the 3rd composition. Some very talented young composers out there!

I’m just saying… every single piece was AMAZING, but the last piece… That piece gave me goosebumps. My God…

That last one is kinda giving me Barber Adagio vibes, I really like it!

Timestamps; they include the introduction of each piece. 0:34 Cerulean by Kevin Ou 3:11 Scherzo in G Minor by Ali Afifi 5:18 At The Carnival by Low Shao Ying 7:30 Hypersonic Superconductor by Will Wyant 10:22 Canon on the Theme "Squeeze on Your Legs" by Yifei Zheng 12:36 Elegy for String Quartet by Chun Hei Lau

the first piece somehow remind me of twoset prelude

They all so good The final one is the best

First piece, beautiful, totally hear the Joe Hisashi inspiration. Made me think of a less melancholic version of the scene in spirited away where Haku is finally freed, then ending with an imagined scenario of the end of Peter Pan with the Darling children returning to their home and touching down softly with Peter looking down sadly, knowing they cannot stay with him. 8/10 (I love Ghibli music) Second piece, absolutely blown away by the intricacies of the music, and the sheer amount of complexity packed into it with all four instruments. The composer must have spent ages and gives me the impression they are a true polymath or a composing prodigy. 9/10 Third piece, very fun! I always enjoy instrumental storytelling, as readers can probably tell from my imaginings with the first piece. One minor critique (which is purely opinion and has no basis in the skill of the composer) is that I wish there was a more recognizable musical cue upon the "realization that the boys are late for dinner" and the transition into the "rushing" section. Either that, or make the end of the previous phrase more abrupt, and the rest between phrases longer. 6/10 Fourth piece... I'm not sure how much of my opinion is based on the difficulty of sightreading the piece and the small errors our lovely quartet inevitably made, or by my inherent dislike for atonal or discordant music (I know, I'm a philistene) but I did get the impression that the tone of the piece was slightly confused at some points. There was a consistent chaotic energy throughout the piece, but there were certain sections that started to sound like Gershwin (difficult to hear through the discordant background, but still) which then transitioned into something vaguely reminiscent to some of the action jazz style found in the soundtrack to Cowboy Bebop, and finally back to utter chaos. Do I just not like true jazz? Maybe. This piece gave me weird feelings. 4/10 I loved the fifth piece! While the storytelling was subtler than the third piece, I still found myself very engaged and especially appreciated the willingness to sacrifice extra complexity to allow the simple, but beautiful cello section to thrive. Additionally, the combination of Western scales with more traditional eastern scales (both recognizable at different points in the music) added a touch of variety that left me craving more. 8/10 Final piece... wow. Blew me away with the soundscape they created. Brings to mind a few things at different points. The first, of course, was the excitement of sitting in the midst of a crowded but quiet theatre as the full orchestra in the pit warms up, immediately cutting down the chatter of the crowd and enveloping everyone in a curtain of sound. The second was more abstract, a feeling of gazing up at the globe of a sky without the atmosphere impeding the stars, nebulae and galaxies on full display, and somehow having the strong feeling that space and the universe isn't quite as empty as we are told by science. A richness to the backdrop of stars and a feeling of closeness, and incredible distance at the same time, like a particularly enchanting planetarium. Composition "impressiveness": 7/10 , Personal Appreciation: 10/10

Omg, it's just the 1st minute but I'm already in love with this! 🥰🥰🥰 so lovely playing ❤❤❤ kudos to the lingling composers!!!

Imagine having twoset (fourset) play your composition. What you guys are doing for classical music is astonishing. A new generation of lovers will come about through your efforts and sharing of your passion. Thanks guys for making it so accessible for the world.

9:44 *Ear bleeding and a tear in the left eye* -"Beautiful!"

That last one nearing the end legit sounded beautiful. Reminded me if music I'd hear in a movie.

The first one the ghibli-like piece, beautiful.😌👌👏👏👏

I love the cello guy playing. Well all of them. More quartet performaces please 👏🤗

The second piece is good! So playful and beautiful!

Update. Went to Carnegie Hall. Heard two fantastic contemporary pieces performed by Ensemble Signal. First by Michael Gordon, Weather One and second (Cruel Sisters) by Julia Wolfe. Imagine closing your eyes and music washes over you. In trance like state. Open your eyes to see almost every violin and viola being held like a guitar being strummed while first violin imitating a harp with stinging pizzicato. After performance grabbed a bite at restaurant near the hall. I see second (third?) violinist ordering a burger. Being out of character for a local I say hello, expressed my admiration for the entire ensemble. Then I asked if she knows 2Set? Yes she does. Told her I watched your fan composers from two days ago and I commented I’d be at Carnegie Hall tonight. So closing the loop. 1. See 2 set fan composer post 2. I post saying I’d be at CH to see if there was anything good tonight. 3. At CH. hear great music. 4. Meet violinist. Yes she knows 2Set 5. I tell her I’ll post again tonight regarding evening performance. 6. Here is post. Professional musicians around the world know 2 Set. So cool. Bye.

First piece beautiful. Felt like dancing with contentment on a warm day on a farm when the work is done for the day. Looking over a good days work and smiling to myself thinking, “all is settled.”

Twoset should do a video "Sightreading classical guitar pieces"

Goosebumps on the last piece... WOWW!

you can tell they all had a really nice time playing the ‘at the carnival’ piece. it’s very expressive

the first one actually reminds me of Gymnopedie! It was beautiful and my mind randomly put the video of the quartet Ray is part of playing that, loved it!

I missed the fan compositions series so much! The long waiting (since you asked for the submission) is always so worthy with you guys ❤️ and Twosetters being talented Linglings as always!

From the composers' names, I think quite a few of them are Chinese/Taiwanese/Hongkonger! Good job guys!

The first one remind me of twoset’s prelude

this is literally the most talented community ever

I vibe so much with the chello in the first piece

the 3rd piece (At the Carnival) is so much fun, love that little motiff

the scherzo was fantastic!

Time for twoset and friends flex quartet style!

1. oh my god that was MAGICAL. I loved it sooo much! 2. that was sooo gooood!!! I liked the vibe 3. that was sooo vivid! loved it so much omg it was funny and silly and all sooo good! 4. .... no words... just wow. 5. I love the melody ... most specifically when it starts out solo and introduced everyone else in 6. I am in love with this one... I've always loved slower compositions, especially those with such a sombre feel to them... it just MELTS my heart. This one was absolutely my favorite hands down.

Dude cerulean gave me goosebumps 👌🤯

Some very solid entries. Fun. Thank you so much for doing this. I really enjoyed the scherzo 2nd piece. And the canon was fantastic too. Outstanding

The last one had very distinct Swan of Tuonela vibes!

The Elegy was just beautiful
