I loved how you captured each composer's voice. I am impressed by how you made that one simple piece sound beautiful in many different ways.

[@freeslideshows_]

i seriously teared up when they got to the debussy one.. because debussy is one of eddys favorite composers.. and its the last one on the list!!... the friendship and love between the both of them is so deep..

[@freeslideshows_]

Happy Birthday, Eddy and Congratulations to Brett for this great Birthday gift. Totally loved it -- (Debussy is one of my favorite composers too). Love both of you guys -- from one of The Flute Gang

[@i-love-2dboys]

love how paganini is the typical guy who does things unnecesary difficult just "because I can and because I want to"

[@michaelprozonic]

Eddy looks different when he plays piano

[@kpp28]

I swear everytime this Jordon guy does the best arrangement of imitating composers style in the business. Surely his original composition will slaps too

When Shostakovich entered in, everyone left the party

And when Brahms joined, everyone started crying.

[@justanotherlinglingwannabe546]

The fact that the Debussy version was played at last cuz Debussy is Eddy's favorite composer is so cute🧡🧡💛💛

[@yaserthe1]

1:13 perfect encapsulation of Mozart's elegance.

The variation ends on the style of Debussy - Eddy’s favourite composer 🥺

What a coincidence, they released this right before my birthday which was 5 months and 11 days ago

[@lunaestoile3580]

This friendship is so precious 😭😭 I love how they purposely included and put Debussy the last since Eddy love Debussy so much (the best for the last). And how did Brett managed to practice those without Eddy knowing??

[@rhondabuhler2984]

I have never liked the happy birthday song this much (or should we call it a piece now?)! I could listen to this on repeat. The playing is fantastic and I would buy an album of Brett and Eddy’s playing. Also, thanks to this video and the comments I’ve discovered Shostakovich’s string quartet in C minor. Love it 😍

[@jananias2985]

Happy birthday Eddy! Also Shostakovitch be like: "You made it to your birthday, but at what cost?" Genuinely the saddest Happy Birthdays I've ever listened to, and I've had my classmates sing it at me.

John Cage's version: 33 seconds of silence. Then blow out the candles. Note: Blowing out the candles is part of the performance.

Brett on Eddy's birthday: puts so much effort and time into planning a video for Eddy's birthday that's highkey adorable and shows true friendship. Eddy on Brett's birthday: I know what Brett needs... A VIOLA. Edit: omg 1K+ likes... is this how Ben Lee felt when he got his 10 minutes of fame? T.T

3 months ago: Eddy prepared 6 random Christmas gifts (and 1 birthday gift that he ends up enjoying himself) for Brett. Now: Brett plays 6 different composer-styled happy birthday songs (plus the original one) for Eddy. Here are the timestamps: Orginal: 0:04 J.S. Bach: 0:18 Paganini: 0:47 Mozart: 1:13 Brahms: 1:30 Shostakovich: 2:03 Debussy: 2:50 Happy birthday Eddy!
