I love how Brett was unfazed by Eddy’s presentation at the ending until Eddy said “up-bow staccato” 😂😂
He looks so confused hâhhaaa
And then there is downbow staccato
he tried, Eddy not ling ling (yet)
It's not legit till you do it again 😐
@@Perryz7ppq1
Brett should have flexed his upbow staccato every time Eddy did with his perfect pitch all these years
He is too chill for that lol
Or his perfect pizz
@@Iris-fp4uk left hand pizz go brrr
Maybe he can overpower him with his perfect pizz too lol
*perfect rizz**
Love that Brett looks so confused and thought he got pranked 😅 but then hearing Eddy said about his learning “upbow staccato”, Brett immediately shows support and gives out some helpful ideas
"resist the urge to go faster"
"don't play quickly just because you can"
"if you can practice quickly, you can practice slowly"
I felt that in my soul
I should print this out and put it on my wall 😂
Ikr. It's so hard to play Bach's Concerto for Two Violins mov. 1 slowly for me
I read this comment right when Eddie said it
The amount of times I and my voice teacher tell me this is astronomical
All the violinists in my grade including me right before our orchestra concert:
2:40 initial attempt
10:12 final result
That's some SERIOUS improvement. The magic of putting in your 40 hours
40 hours a day keeps the growing sense of failure away :DDD
Ooh thanks for the stamps!
Haha Brett is so traumatised from pranks he's always on high alert if he doesn't know what Eddy is doing 😂
Okay, so Brett can do up-bow staccato while Eddy has perfect pitch. Interesting.
And left hand pizz and double harmonics
Now they only need to meet the "Pinky thrill" girl and the "Three scales on the G string" monster to become The Fantastic 4 of violin 🤩
Perfect pitch boy vs perfect pitz boy
@@TheVulcanBard it’s written as pizz and read as pitz ^^ but yeah hehe
A Yin and Yang moment.
Sonorous expertise (Eddy) and Mechanical expertise (Brett)
No wonder the TwoSet duo get along so effortlessly from a musical standpoint, these two elements are the fundamental blocks for making music at all
fr brett's technique is just too good man
Love how Brett instantly changes into supportive mode as soon as he gets what Eddy has been doing!
it was actually fun to watch eddy's thought process when learning a new technique, i'm gonna be using his tactics in my own playing!!
yooo nice eve pfp
@@Keiisah ay thank you! i’m always looking for eve listeners lol
Yes, it was really fun and helpful. Eddy totally reminds me of what I probably look like when I practice but much better. Everything from shaking the arm out to looking at the reflection in the window to going "blah" when you sound terrible just really hit home for me in a hilarious way.
I feel like I'm holding my breath when he played for Brett. You want Eddy to do well after all that effort. I think he accomplished it and I'm so glad he took us along for the ride
Watching Brett's initial empty reaction was the funniest part lol
Great job Eddy, very impressive!
I miss eddy’s old channel for his advice and instruction. I hope both he and Brett put out a series of those someday.
I remember watching all of them. I believe he took them down because he said he doesn't align with them anymore or doesn't believe in those methods anymore and doesn't want to spread it around when there are better ways of approaching stuff now. However, I would love to see what has changed and why he feels that way about it now.
I hope he sees this. They were awesome and helped me so much when I started!
In my perfect world, Brett and Eddie put out a video playlist on playing violin, and also for just general musicality. But also, maybe with the fandom have compositions put into a book with increasing difficulty of fan, made music that they could share in their site or some thing. And they could teach their own TwoSet course.
Same bro
YES, I love these videos, they dont need to bring it back, just let the old ones avaliable😢❤
I like how Brett gives honest critiques. His praise isn’t empty because he notes the areas that need further work or are not as good as they could be, and where improvement could be made. So when he then says this or that was good, or he was impressed, it really means something. Good enough to deserve a bubble tea!
I feel so relieved that upbow staccato is so difficult even for professional violinists! Them being real and honest is one of the many reasons I love twoset!
We don’t talk about down bow staccato
@@pooppee8146 Shhhh! Don't mention it!
"That was so lit, my buttcheeks were clenching." -Eddy 2023
😂
aaa this reminds me of the time eddy bought christmas gifts for brett a couple years back;-;
i love how cautiously brett enters the room juxtaposed with eddy's "kid showing off his macaroni art from school" energy
too cutee
10:45 omg, I lost it at the cricket sounds 🤣 loving their dynamics with each other; Eddy trying his hardest to impress Brett and Brett being a supportive friend (after realizing what this was all about) 🤣
I would love to see more videos of you guys practicing and learning and trying to get better. As a musician, I think everyone is able to relate to that feeling of personal improvement. Love to see more of this in the future
Agreed, practice tips and sessions are one of the best ways to learn from other musicians!!
So good how humble they are to not hide their progress or what they can‘t do yet. Love your authenticity. Actually I‘d really love to see more practice videos!

How about 10:13 ?
Thank you :)
Thank youuuuuu!
Eddy showing off his practice skills is a gift to humanity.
This feels almost like a weekly outfit check
The TH-cam algorithm led me to this channel and I got hooked. You guys have inspired me to pick up my violin that has been sitting unused for years at my parents' house. When I moved out for post-secondary, I didn't want to disturb my new neighbours and just stopped playing. I got it tuned up, and then I muddled through some scales, twinkle twinkle, hot cross buns, and then butchered happy birthday. I guess I'm going to have to practice a bit before I move on to any Paganini.
Eddy, your wrist is a little too low when you start the upbow staccato. If your wrist is low in comparison with your fingers, your fingers have no space to impulse the stroke upwards. Upbow staccato is primarily centred around the fingers and thumb as these are the only muscles sensitive enough to do the movement. By way of preparing for your upbow staccato run, drop your fingers in relation to your wrist, then martellato up. As you work up proficiency, you can upgrade martellato for a true flying stroke, then add speed. Notice when you were doing it at the end of your 7 days, your wrist was higher compared to when you started, but it was still lower than it should be for full efficiency.
Upppp
Up up up
Well dang it. My teacher - who famously had a VERY fluid and relaxed wrist - told me to tighten things up for that passage, then just kinda "think the Minuet in G" (quote from "The Music Man") if you will. Not helpful. Your detailed explanation makes me wish I was that age again instead of closer to the end, and certainly no longer needing to learn this stroke.
You seriously think that the Two Set need an advice about staccato from an amateur? they know, they just make content. By the way, there are different ways to do staccato, actually there are better ones than what you describe.
@@MishaSkripach God your comment projects so much devoted two set worshipping staunch defender energy. Get a grip on that superiority complex ya little snob...
Literally the embodiment of the classical music stereotype for condescension.
“If you can practice quickly you can practice slowly” is un-ironically one of the best pieces of practice advice.
I love Brett being the super chill one who can do the intense technique like, 😐.
While eddy is the show off without actual technique
@@ajchandra7735how is eddy showoff?
eddy: “upbow staccato”
auto generated subtitles: *I’ll bust cicada*
😏
i’ve been struggling with this EXACT passage for the past couple weeks and this vid has helped me improve sm- tysm eddy :)
Congrats Eddy for this huge improvement!
How about a follow-up with Brett explaining the phyics of flying upbow staccato and how to make it fiery? I'm not sure I know more about how to actually tackle upbow staccato after the video. I've been trying what Eddy did - with a totally different result.
As someone who is simultaneously beginning medical school and learning Rhapsody in Blue on piano, this made me so energized. Way to go Eddi, but that's all I'm going to say because I gotta go practice (and study)!
*Eddy
Holy Moly, I’m also going to med school and also study piano! Wish you luck!
@@ScriabinistheGOAT24 Best of luck with your exams!
So you're a doctor and a musician... your mother must be so proud.
@@ScriabinistheGOAT24❤❤❤❤
Eddy, you deserve a Bubble Tea! Your Up-Bow Staccato Determination Paid Off You Sounded Wonderful! 🎻🎶
Duude! This looks just like the old videos!! I love it!
eddy breaking down on day three and just crunching is way too relatable 😭
this format is great, i enjoyed it so much!!! as we got to the end i was like "omg hope the performance is for brett": i was NOT disappointed! (his blank face the first time through was hilarious too)
I love how Bretts reward for Eddy is a bubble tea 😂
Can we make this a series pls
Also, how Brett automatically went to his spot at the table :D
Eddy: “I played staccato.”
Brett: “OHHHHHHH”
i really appreciate you uploading this. the first piece that forced me to really work on this technique was the 1st movement of Seitz's student concerto no. 3, but i still end up fudging it half the time. it was encouraging to see an extremely skilled violinist experience the same types of issues i've dealt with when doing this technique (e.g., wanting to tense the right arm, inconsistent pressure when moving up the bow, left wrist tension, etc.), and then getting to see your approach to isolating the problems and applying targeted exercises for improvement. going out of your way to use performance as a test is an underrated point too.
i'm still at the "sometimes i get it and go 'wooo!' and smile" phase, and it made me smile seeing you do the same thing each time you got it, as well as when you got it while performing for brett. great stuff! :))
Eddy's final result after 1 week is great improvement.
Remember to practise 40 hours a day guys!
For some reason, I kept hearing Eddy saying "violin" as "violent" so it sounded like he said he was going to learn an "incredibly difficult violent technique"
5:15 Eddy never fails to flex his perfect pitch haha
Absolutely incredible to learn that so quickly. I havent been on the channel much but am enthralled to come back to see such an epic challenge that Eddy took on. This is why I admire and adore you both and the musician community in general. Stay beautiful, my friends ❤
i love how this video is geared toward people who might not be musically inclined, but it is still a great watch for those of us who are.
I not only see the process of myself trying to play up-bow Staccato and fail/lose patient and confidence, but also I see a bit of young Eddy in the (very much missed) Eddy Chen TH-cam Channel!! Really love the way Eddy talks when he is talking about violin and classical music!!
I feel like Eddy’s sound has been improved a lot in the past few years. Good job Eddy!!
Seriously, this video just reminded me, that TwoSet Violin is the best content an aspiring musician can possibly watch. 🥰
One of the important things from this vid for me: never stop practicing even after playing an instrument for years. Thanks u guys for making such high quality content ❤
This is some of my favourite content. Its wholesome and feels like im more connected to the musical journey haha
eddy being amazed by his own skills will never not make me laugh
Loved this video. I miss when Twoset did more practice themed videos. I always love their content but I would like to see more of this.
Love those two. They're like talent, charm and humor in a blender.
So nice to see Eddy practice and Brett be like his teacher. Next time the other way around, guys. We love this kind of dedication and friendship
I can't believe I am actually enjoying this episode as a non-violin player. Good job Eddy!
Who here never misses a twoset video
Edit:OMG I didn't expect so many likes
Me
Meeeee
I’d like but it’s at 40 likes and I don’t want to ruin it :)
Lol I am the 69th like 😂😂😂
Me
Thank you for the new video! I miss twoset uploads so much🥺
This reminds me of your old channel, Eddy! I love this and how transparent you are and continued techniques/skills development! Thank you
Brett giving uni teacher vibes while you play in your lesson
Your videos in duo relationship are a rich treat of a professional level of fun lesson and education. I am not a violinist or of any instrument skill...only a few years of piano. Even your followers comments reach such an incredible generosity. Thank you for your ongoing videos. Such a good pleasure of my time being a viewer. Best to you guys.
So this is what you’ve been up to . . . ! Congratulations on refining your already substantial skills and thank you for sharing the process with us. 🙂
I think "we don't have a Lamborghini, we just have upbow staccato" should become a saying.
I can see how he got nervous when Brett came over. It's really sweet to see. Well done Eddy!
1:02 12:41 i love how editor-San is abusing of brett’s lofi, it gets me everytime😭
Cannot but envy you have each other, are able to show weakness, not be afraid to try and improve, give each other wholehearted support and honest and helpful feedback
5:27 Eddy saying “holy moly” is
*a d o r a b l e*
1:39 THE PRINTER IS SO FUNNY 😂😂😂😂
Make more practice videos! Loved it. And so cute that Eddy was surprising Brett with it! 😄
I dont even play violin, but i love videos like this. It's like watching an artist draw something: you see it go from a rough sketch to a beautiful finished piece, along the way you get insight into the thought process at each stage, or little drops of wisdom. More please!
That comment about his *behind* was WAYY too relatable. When you are practicing or performing with intensity, you can get so randomly tensed up anywhere except your hands and arms. 10/10 moment
Lol Brett being so confused really sold it
Isn't learning this technique from Brett in the first place will avoid a lot of frustration along the way? 😱 I'm impressed by your determination, Eddy. I can't last a day, let alone a week of learning new things on my own like you do. 🥴 So, congrats on that! 😁👍
Great job Eddy! Sounds great! Inspirational practice, thanks for letting us watch your process!
Eddy: " I need to relax"
Me: "No offense but you look like the kind of person who hasn't relaxed a day in his life"
It's a good feeling to improve on a technique that you've been lacking in for so long. I improved my vibrato a few years back by labbing hard on it for a few weeks.
Great playing, Eddy! Even though I'm a clarinet player, I admire your skill and hard work. Though in my school band, we mostly play Wind Band pieces, I've gotten into classical because of you two & Your Lie in April. Wen I hear Introduction and Rondo Capprissico, I can't help but think of Kaori and Kousei playing together. Thank you, Brett and Eddy, for making music fun!
Amazing job! This has been great inspiration for my 8 yr old when she gets stuck/frustrated, thank you!
I remember watching you guys way back and now I'm clinking vids 3mins after drop. What have I become 😂
lol same
Thanks eddy for the inspirational lesson on practicing something you thought it was too difficult to do but made up your mind to challenge yourself and practice till you get it. Love 2setviolin
good job eddy 👍we are all so proud of you!
I always get spooked when Australians say it's cold in July
“Australian” cold, though. 😊
I love how Brett was unfazed by Eddy’s presentation at the ending until Eddy said “up-bow staccato” 😂😂
Brett's reaction though😭😭eddy my poor boy
Learning qualitative and efficient practice is really the biggest turning point for every musician. It makes such a huge difference.
Nice job, Eddy! That was a great demonstration of how one can improve their technique (not just in music) through practice. I was impressed.
BRETT: You deserve a bubble tea
EDDY: Right
BRETT: You're buying
It's feels like I'm watching Eddy's tutorials like before!
I love this vibe!!❤️
the way you stepped away from the computer was so real 😂😂😂 1:10
the fact brett thought it was a prank just shows how often he must get pranked by eddy LOLLL
I really enjoyed this discussion of learning a new technique and mastering it for performance. I’d love more presentations along these lines.
This is like training your 4th and 5th finger muscles to do trills and play the melody with your 1st on the piano version of La Campanella near the cadenza. Absolute torture, especially when the trills start to shift down right after 😭.
What how this is perfect timing I was struggling at this part of the piece (intro to rondo)😭😭😭 I was practicing just 30 seconds ago until I came across this-
As a violinist, this is too relatable. The struggle is real.
I've always wanted to know how to learn upbow staccato. Eddy "failing" is so much better than what my bow is doing.
Eddy by himself is getting more gangsta by the day...
So Brett is a master at both up bow staccato and left hand pizz? I think I might choose that over perfect pitch
yeah, i’d say brett is technically stronger than eddy.
Brett is also good at double harmonics which Eddy can't do
But Eddy has more musicality and feeling in his playing.
This is a really excellent video for people trying to improve their practice techniques.
Brett has now mastered his mutually disappointed face he is now ready to judge his nieces and nephews during red letter day.
the way eddy imitates the siren after maybe two seconds of hearing it makes me feel so valid for imitating things i hear during practice sometimes. it's relative pitch training, damn it! 😂
Very nice playing 👍👍
Brett and Eddy, there’s a new anime that is specifically about violin performance and orchestra. It would be amazing if your reacted to that! It’s called Blue Orchestra!
