Three things I love:
1. Eddy's curiosity, love for learning and intellect.
2. Brett's genuine admiration for Eddy's curiosity, love for learning and intellect.
3. Their mutual workout routine.
Only when they have a guest will it really show how incredibly CLOSE they are like they literally grew up together and that knowing look they exchange whenever they talk about their childhood is just like, I can't even describe it.
She's so prodigy she can record an album with exams in-between.
@@eshleynn7142 I don’t think you understand just how big Twoset are in the classical world, you have no idea the magnitude of their impact on the scene.
@@eshleynn7142 I don't think you understand how much renown Chloe also has as a concert violinist for her age either. She's not some unknown hoping to be famous someday.
Don’t get me wrong, I mean Chloe has been used by Twoset. They used Ray Chen, now it’s Chloe.
You should warn her but me
Bro, both Ray and Chloe are huge figures in classic. They aren't going to be "used" by people like twoset. I think both are benefiting from one another.
@@sunghyeonmoon2506sorry, can’t agree at all. You better check what they’ve have had done
Practising, studying, recording, and performing all at a time 😭😭😭 the time management skills are crazy!!! It's amazing how well she balanced everything.. I hope Chloe-sensei can catch breaks in between those 40 hours and make time for herself too! 💗💗
Hans Sorensen, the director for Artistic Planning of the Singapore philharmonic orchestra, has said that Chloe is the most talented musician he’s ever seen, and he meant of ANY instrument. Let that sink in.
I liked Chloe's reaction when Brett said they will be in Australia the same time as her next year. It seemed she cant wait to see them again. Shows how much she misses them
I’m no prodigy, but as someone a little older than Chloe, I find it kinda heartwarming that her mannerisms (like a sort of timidness or uncertainty?) kinda remind me of how I was at her age-she’s obviously very mature in many ways, but she’s still a teenage girl finding and growing into her place in the world, like I was. The way she talked about school was also super relatable (though I sucked at math and biology).
I hope she gets some good rest after all those exams and performances!! And if i keep practicing, maybe someday in the far future I’ll be able to play like her lol
Never stop making this series. Longer, more "serious" professional material. KEEP GOING! For music, for the next generation, for love and passion.
It’s amazing that she’s a violin prodigy but she’s still a normal person that loves to laugh and have fun ~~
It's chloe sensei, hurray!
She is so likeable and so adorable, incredible yet so humble, one moment a princess, a sensei, next moment so human.❤
Chloe's approach to learning a new piece is illuminating. She invests time to analyse the score, compare recorded versions (thanks to TH-cam), build a mental picture of the architecture and her own interpretation, transfer these insights into technical renderings (fingerings, articulations, expressions, and climaxes, which I am sure she marks
on the score assiduously), and then practise with focus on her vision. Her excellent memory and growing technical prowess have equipped her with the facility to learn new pieces efficiently yet with musical depth. Thus, it is not a surprise that her playing is so consistent, deliberate, accurate, and given her innate good taste, always imbued with great understanding, forward momentum and originality. This is most evident in her solo performances: cadenzas, including Sauret's, and Ysaye's Ballade.
Her further studies will expose her to the breadth of the repertoire. We look forward to her continued growth and exciting perfornances. Also, I believe she will make a great conductor in the future.
I really liked what Chloe said about the nuances that come with understanding Chinese culture, and with understanding the wider piece. I’ve listened to other recordings in the past, but I think no one captures the nuance and subtleties of Butterfly Lovers quite like Chloe.
Chloe learning Paganini in 1 MONTH
....
me who spent 1 whole year learning twinkle twinkle
Highly doubt u only play twinkle twinkle
ray chen learned Tchaikovsky in 6 months and i thought that was insane
@@warneryan1085 a lot of it is dedication and determination without it your not rlly motivated to practice since practicing seems like it does nothing but only makes small progress so u got to keep practicing to make the small progress add up
that is relatable
I've been leisurely playing for the last 45 years or so .... When I was a mere Grade school kid , I foolishly thought I could become a world class violinist ..... Then I saw prodigies back in those days who were younger but basically decades ahead of me .... Discouraged I simply quit and changed my goals from being a soloist to perhaps auditioning for some of the most world renown orchestras.... I actually thought I was good enough to apply to some of the top conservatories here in US....Of course I got rejected to every one of them ... I did end up attending a pretty decent local State Uni and was accepted to join their School Orchestra......I was absolutely blown away (and intimidated) by how more than half those fellow musicians were far more talented and gifted than I was ......After graduating changed my major from Music theory to business (LOL) .... Put it this way .... only 3 top students from the school , whom I thought were God gift to symphony orchestra lovers eventually were good enough to join a decent local orchestra ..... I personally met some of the finest orchestra violinist , and most if not all I can say were born with a particular instinct for music that can't be explained and of course combined with passionate near obsessive commitment to learn and practice ...... Ms Chloe Chua I can say without a doubt is an absolute genius in this regards
Imagine Chloe plays Sibelius Concerto plus Ysaye sonata solo, just like Maxim’s concert, it will be utterly unbelievable. I am definitely going to it wherever it is. Chloe’s concert will be my graduation trip next year, gotta spend all my savings for her. :D
This is the best interview you've done on someone. I love how insightfully in-depth you went asking questions about Chloe's preparation process. All the while, you keep it very TwoSet and lowkey, like we're hanging out together with her. I love the unique stories of meeting fans, lol. TwoSet Talks is a gem and I'm grateful for the extended time we see you drilling into a topic. Eddy's been doing heavy-lifting talking in your main channel lately, and the edits have been so quick we haven't gotten much meaningful back-and-forth between Eddy and Brett, so it's great to see it all.
Chloe is so grown up now!
It’s “Kinderszenen,” or “ Scenes from Childhood.” Horowitz played it upon his return to Russia after decades away. A truly historic performance. By Schumann. A suite of pieces that includes “Von Fremden Landen and Menschen” (Of Foreign Lands and Peoples” and “Traumerei” (Dreaming). I’m sure it’s on TH-cam somewhere.
I hope Chloe finds a great keyboard player and does the Bach Sonatas. They’re magnificent pieces.
It could have lasted 4 hours. Thanks for inviting Chloe, I hope she performs in Germany some day.❤
She is scheduled to perform with the Konzerthaus Orchester Berlin on 2 April 2025.
Really fun talk, love hearing their laughter! Great questions, and thoughtful answers! Two Set are like big brothers who respect her awesome talent, but do tease her; while she can get back at them and gently roast them, too!
I'm a simple person. I see Professor Chloe, I watch, my day is made.
"my brain's lagging"😂😂 hard relate chloe
Her brain lagging is probably most people’s turbo
I’ve already got my Chloe Chua/Singapore Orchestra tickets for Melbourne, I’m so looking forward to it…
Omg me too!
Omg this might be my favourite episode yet!! I looove Chloe - she's so smart and fun and I love how excited she got when talking about Horrowitz and Sibelius. Literally all the stories and discussions in thus episode were interesting and exciting. Love you guys and Eddy good luck with Brahms!❤❤❤
As a University trained Jazz drummer, not anywhere as gifted as these three, Chloe described exactly how I approached jazz charts: I looked for the hardest parts first, then spent a day listening to a ton of performances. I would figure out commonalities between performances, then practice those interpretations with my style. I just love all of you. ❤❤❤❤
I love their enthusiasm at getting her album and signature ❤
Chloe Chua, Brett, and Eddy... three absolutely brilliant individals! 🥰 I love this interview! It truly "shows off" their personalities. Best of luck to Chloe Sensai! The brightest future lies ahead in whatever you do. I think Brett and Eddy are great influences in balancing life, humor, and experiences.
Brilliant interview! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love love love these types of interviews of getting to know professional musicians and their process of managing life with school, practice, performing, etc. So much fun learning from them, catching up on their lives, and discovering their current music projects.
Thank you all, Chloe & TSV! I'm smiling so big, and my heart feels full; very content.
Well done! 💖💖💖
Sending warm hugs of encouragement, hope, and strength to all of you.

Am pretty sure Brett was spot on about Chloe "making it up" on some interview questions...she has no problem playing the notes, probably from day one. Upbow staccato may have taken her six months to master but by the time she came to the Paganini concerto, it was no problema. Still is mindblowing to realize how well she can channel her talent and skill into her performances and that that album was done when she was 16. Chloe Sensei has had wonderful teachers and mentors.
Nice chat between friends. Thanks for giving us a chair!
The album was absolutely incredible 🤌
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful conversation with us. You're gelling so well. I love your banter .
Chloé is such a beautiful person in all aspects.
Great podcast, TwoSet ❤
Talking about her process of learning a piece is so interesting.
This was a really great interview! Love to see Chloe laugh so much! She's seems so gentle and kind 🥰 As well as the conversations going off topic for a bit to other things is always fun. Love to hear the insight into Chloe's life 😊
Me, a Double Bassist and Violist says Chloe is a legend. Paganini in less than a month, look… I always felt like Violin concertos are so hard because just the Violin with how close the notes are makes the concertos really hard because of how fast the piece is and as a Double Bassist especially, we stretch our fingers a lot, so it like what in the world with these Violin concerts, but… Paganini in less than a month, geez. Like I said, Chloe is the legend.
Twoset talks with LingLing Chloe and they're talking maths 😮😮😮 really love these 3 geeky smarty people ❤
I had been waiting for this episode. When I saw it was 48 minutes, I was excited, but that went by so fast 😅 great interview ❤
It would be great to have a video where Chloe shares every day of her practice when she starts a new piece and explains how she practices. (When she finds the time, of course 🤗)
Chloe already posseses such a high level of skill that for her, learning Paganini easily fits into her current skill set technique wise. Remember, she performed Wieniawski's Scherzo Tarantelleat age 7... so determining her interpretation is the big deal now, actually. Expressing her unique voice and creativity. I love how she studies the old masters!!
so inspiring! chloe-sensei is so amazing!! and so demure and matureeee so cute haha
the way brett and eddy describe australia's education system lowkey makes me jealous lol...
random but i hope in a future episode they'll talk about how the idea for fantasia came about, the planning and like deep dive into the meanings. i mean, some things are definitely up to interpretation, but i'd definitely enjoy some form of an explanation LOL. fantasia made me cry and gave me depression for a few days when i first watched it. or at least i hope they'll perform it live some day!!
The camera and audio has improved a lot since their first video with Chloe
I’m a molecular biologist and amateur musician. Twoset and Chloe talking about human genome is totally not on my bingo card. So painful to watch but I’m not complaining 😅
Also, I can’t recite kreb cycle either
Thaaaank youuuu for the reupload (ogs will know)
Yeahh I couldn’t watch it 😢 TY
I prefer the POV of Chloe in this video because she's described as more human being than an idol
Would you like a cheat code to be as good as Chloe?
PRACTICE. THERE IS NO CHEAT CODE.
It only works if you practice 40 hours a day tho
And a awesome teacher
I love this video. It is so nice just listening to you three chatting and having fun
If I could have anything Chloe has, I would choose having friends as cool as Brett and Eddy.
41:27 the piece is schumann's kinderszenen played by vladimir horowitz for those who want to go listen
th-cam.com/video/6z82w0l6kwE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
I figured from their description of his posture it's Horowitz even before they said it. But I didn't know which piece they were referring to.
The moon's beauty takes my breath away. 🙈
I loved this episode - every time you guys do a video with Chloe is great. Also, will we be getting a video of Eddy's top 5 Brahms recordings? 🙏
I love biology too Chloe!
Would be awesome to listen in on her first hour of practicing a new piece
Biology is the best of the sciences, Chloe understands. I also preferred it to any of the other sciences because it’s not only accessible and easy to understand, but it tells us so much about how every living thing works.
Awesome video you guys and a long one too. So nice to see Chloe and you guys just sitting around and talking amazing Hi Chloe.♥
Funny to see the two dropping their jaws when hear one month achievement from Chole .. 😂😂
I hope she wrote, "To Twosetviolin, keep practicing"
Those weird fan encounter stories are hilarious 😂!
Thank goodness,the vid came back🎉
Omg yes! I knew they were gonna do an episode with her!
Shel’ll be performing Wieniawski Violin Concerto No 2, at DFPH, KL on Nov 2
Congrats Chloe to your new epic album (seriously Paganini!!!!)! And them being like "That's not you! Where are your bangs?" 😂😂😂 And she be like "No of course I didn't get a different haircut"!
I can listen to them for hours. Especially about Chinese culture.
I loved this! The vibes
more twoset talks! with nice guest chloe!
Disagree with Brett and Eddys no homework in Australia, we definitely did get homework regularly.
I think it depends on the school and the parents.
I love this episode! So many funny stories and very interesting things, especially about the interpretation of music❤
I love this episode so much
❤❤
8:08 Chloe:
- I have a plan of a basic interpretation before I start practicing a movement
TwoSet:
....we don't do that here 😂
Yes! a new episode YAY
☺
3:51 editing error
there are other audio sync errors here and there along the video..
I hope to hear her one of these days in Singapore
This is the first episode with a guest that I see and please if you want to make it in the form of an interview, structure it better and prepare questions, because in this one you are going in circles a lot and you lose focus and so the audience also loses focus and is hard to stay with it.
It is a bit chaotic, but that's what makes it a twoset video. Just 3 friends talking, not too serious. But meanwhile some very interesting things are said and you get to know them a little better. It’s as if they are just chatting in my living room.
For a well structured official interview there are many other channels.
@@ZiaElohka Yes, I get that, but the point is also to have people watch the entire thing, and by going on unrelated tangents in the middle of the video, I was very close to clicking off. It's a new podcast and they are new to this, I am sure they will learn how to tighten it up so it follows a nice pace throughout with time.
Oh I actually loved it when they got off topic and started to tell random stories. It's true that sometimes it feels like they're just chatting and not trying to make any point but I can see that the guest liked it too when they fooled around. As their official channel is getting a bit too "staged" and professional I'm really loving this chilled, pointless vibe.
love you guys, love chloe chua, love this podcast
this is not a critique, but just a note for the editors when it goes out of sync
in the beginning at 3:54
it starts to get out of sync again at 7:08 until 8:06
when the bubble tea came at 26:38
I listened to his new album, in particular the recording of the Paganini concert. I find it the flattest recording I’ve ever heard of this piece. For a month of practice it is there, but it deserves a lot of extra care
Do a live reaction of Chloe’s album with Chloe!!!!! (I haven’t watched the whole video yet; just reacting when she gave them the album 😅)
fyi eddy, krebs cycle can generate energy through both fats and carbs(also proteins) the substrates just enter the cycle through different pathways
Hoping for something great from 3 of you in aussie then,l. Let's mark the calender for Jan 2025
Chloe's ✨aRtiFiCiaL✨🧋pearls hahahah
ohoho, to be the og🤭🤭 thanks for the episode!
At 0:45 note the way Chloe hands over the CD. Properly, with two hands. It's endearing :)
Love the died bangs, Eddy!
They look nice fr
I think Chloe grow so fast
if the o levels are the same date as this year, the date of the butterfy lovers would be on the day of her biology paper 1...
Chloe already found her niche and in a safe zone in term of life career. Should follow like Jay Chou, focus on playing the violin, producing album, performing in concerts and do just minimal, passable for academic. Her playing skill has elevated on a higher scale with finer skills compared to average musicians.
Artists don’t play it safe. They take a risk every time they put their art on display. It’s a risk for a musician to step out on stage and perform, having a crowd of critics out there, each one with their own arbitrary standards, that you don’t want to disappoint. And you have your own high standards to aspire to. That why so many prodigies flame out.
Artists also don’t stop searching for knowledge. It’s part and parcel of the life. It’s how you develop and refine your artistic vision. At least that’s how it is for those who want a career as a performer. Yes, Chloe could have a nice career playing in an orchestra in Europe or Asia, doing some teaching and giving masterclasses. She’s chosen to become a soloist, one of the riskiest things you can do as a musician.
I went to Oberlin, a college that had a conservatory. Many of the conservatory students were “musical jocks,” as my teacher called them, wholly and completely into music. They took all the theory courses they could get, and music history courses because they had to. The best of them, however, were the ones who attended both college and conservatory courses. It made them well-rounded people and better musicians too. You now see many cooperative agreements between academic and music programs, like Juilliard and Columbia, Harvard and the New England Conservatory.
There are so many ways to have a career in music. Pigeonholing yourself down one or two tracks is far from the best way.
man shes always glowing she must be sleeping more than 8hrs a day
I WOULD PROTECT CHLOE WITH MY LIFE smol sunshine bean
That’s a bit odd.
smol sunshine bean
@@ambermao9547 i meant it in like an older sister kind of way dont make it weird
(-b +- root(b^2-4ac)/2a is used to solve the value of x in a quadratic equation
I, too, like starting from the beginning and when it gets hard I stop. lol
38:31 this is so twoset child mode activated
One just flips through Paganini casually whilst prepping for a live performance - oy vey 😵💫🤩
That's cool! I did the exact same high school subjects as Eddy, except I did Graphics instead of Chemistry.
I'm a few years younger than him, but I'm also from Brisbane, so maybe there's an alternate universe where we were in the same classes together!
I play the violin but I'll never know how insane it is to pull what Chloe did in one month because I only learned a little bit more than grade 8 lol
28:58 biology 🥰
REALLLL ❤❤❤
7:09 is not synced with the audio ;-;
At 3:53 there's something wrong with sound and video synching. And than from 7:09 to 8:10 a slight audio delay :(
Otherwise a lovely talk between your trio :)
🎻
ONE MONTH! FOR PAG CONCERTO!!! IN-BETWEEN STUDIES! WITH RECORDING DURING A CONCERT!
great video,
didnt know about this channel
40:00 None of us believe anyone ever called Eddy a clown on stage . . .
I know that twoset have already done a lot of videos with Hilary Hahn especially ones that are more "nerdy" and sort of focus on musicality and other stuff like that but still, I would love to see Hilary appear on twoset talks. Mostly because a lot of time has passed and in my opinion Brett and Eddy have changed a lot in terms of thinking and just overall so i think that it would be interesting to see them together with Hilary again.
I don't think Brett and Eddy would be coherent lol.
Sensei Chloe hitting hard on Eddy's dreams 😂
We want oneset math
