[One can always keep on Wei Ying to keep himself entertained, no matter what.
The harmonizing hums really are not that distracting, but for the first hour or so, the melody is fragmented, bits put together slowly, repeated again and again. Only after that does it finally compose an actual melodic phrase.
Then Wangji repeats that, for quite a while longer, until he is certain he has it memorized, and then he starts adding all of the little extras, the volume indications, the vibrato in certain parts... He is rather exacting in knowing how much he needs to learn a new piece, so four hours was pretty much what was needed here. By then end of that stretch of time, the performance is not yet up to his standards, but most people would call it flawless.
