      Cancelling doesn't exist anymore. It's a thing people claim happens, and then nothing actually does. Cancelling was a thing for two years, five years ago; now it's a word that indicates no actual punishment will follow. In another five years it will be like the hula hoop: an outdated generational trend that everyone has heard of but no one has actually seen unless they have cleaned out the garage.

    As a non Asian, I respectfully and sincerely say that in all of the places on UA-cam and the Internet where I see the term used (I see it a lot) it was ONLY used as a term of endearment, never used in a derogatory, or insulting way. It was always used by someone who is a TwoSet fan identifying with, or seeking out other TwoSet community fans in the comment sections. It has been connected to the TwoSet community from around the world by people of various ethnicities, from young to old and from every race. Whenever I see it, I and others from the TwoSet community respond in a positive way acknowledging each other. I always smile when I see it because it has been a wonderful thing, something that breaks down barriers and connects people from around the globe. Of course, I have not seen every occasion when the term has been used. Nevertheless, I hope that Brett and Eddy will not change anything and we Ling Ling wannabes will hold firm and not allow this endearing term to be taken from us.

      Btw, ChatGPT Plus answer to what is Ling Ling:
      "Ling Ling" is a fictional character created by Brett Yang and Eddy Chen of the UA-cam channel TwoSetViolin. This character is often humorously referred to as a prodigiously talented violinist, embodying the ultimate level of musical skill and discipline. The term "Ling Ling" has become a running joke and a meme within the classical music community, often used to refer to an impossibly talented or over-practicing musician. For example, musicians might jokingly compare themselves or others to Ling Ling in a self-deprecating or humorous way, highlighting the extreme dedication and talent supposedly possessed by this fictional character.
      It's important to note that "Ling Ling" is a purely fictional and humorous creation, and the references to this character are usually made in a light-hearted and playful context within the music community.

    Paganini was a master guitarist and he used the guitar as help in composing for violin as well.

      Honestly, as an asian, I dont care much if someone jokes around about LingLing. Sorta like when non-asian people say “There’s always a asian better than you.” I know its a joke and not intended to be racist or disrespectful in any way. Sure, its a racial stereotype but jokes can be based off of stereotypes without people getting massively offended like snowflakes. These jokes are nowhere close to as bad as the history of the N word. It can be annoying but it really isnt worth dealing like its serious

    I used to work in a musical theatre, the amount of books I read while in the pit is insane. Woodwinds and brass players were watching football matches, netflix, etc. I was always wary of having my phone in the pit with me, but I always had my kindle or a physical book.

      Many of the people I played in community theatre pits with were also teachers, and the number of us that got marking done during rehearsals and performances was wild. The summer shows were always during report card season, and as each person got theirs done we'd have little mini (and silent) celebrations.

    I'll say though, as a guitarist, most Paganini's guitar pieces are (mostly) doable if not easy because back then guitar was reserved for noblewomen and, since most of them were mediocre, most guitar pieces Paganini composed were dedicated to them because he was a Don Giovanni. I always say "Paganini is an angel with guitarist and a devil with violinist. Besides, there's already a "Paganini of guitar", as he was called back in those days, Mauro Giuliani, he was friends with Beethoven, Rossini and Paganini and all went to eachother's concerts. Check out pieces like "la Grande Ouverture", "Gran sonata eroica" and "Rossiniana n. 1"
