Errrrr....very common in an Asian family....but Eddy’s sister (Belle Chen) is actually really talented, some great experimental music......some serious musical genes in that family!
@@giselle371 I am 47, I picked the piano back up three years ago after 20 years away. I'll never be a concert pianist, but I'm having so much fun anyway! I've reached early advanced material and just having those notes in my hands, however imperfectly, is a joy. Go for it, if I can do it anyone can!!
before I knew TwoSet, I was just a girl who listens to any song that's famous and I didn't even imagine that I would listen to classical music. Then I stumbled upon "If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly" video, and then here I am, listening to violin and piano classical music. And I have no regrets
@@nishithsiribaddana9369 I don't think you get to say one instrument is harder to master than other if you don't master both. I only play saxophone, trying to learn piano, but personally all instruments out there seem pretty tough to master and I think we should respect any one who tries to master any of them.
I haven’t touched a piano in years cause I haven’t had access to one even then I know sometimes I’d rather write the music than play cause um nope some pieces are the work of the devil 😭
Best Gulda Moments: 1.) A concert was announced for Bach (tempered piano) and sold out. Gulda enters the stage and tells everyone he doesnt feel like playing bach. Instead he starts playing atonal improvised stuff. Lots of people leave and get their money back. After that he tells the Audience: Now that the idiots are gone, we can finally play Bach! 2.) When already really sick he sent a Fax to an austrian Newspaper announcing his death. Following that many printed eulogies. Couple of days later he released a press statement that he wasn‘t quite dead yet, but thankful for all the nice words. He announced a ressurection party with booze music and gogo-girls. Shortly after he died for real.
@@fleecetheflock5926 Yes, I think he explained in a video his mother told him he had decided to pursue a musical career because it was "easier" than becoming a doctor so Eddy wanted to prove her wrong (reversed psychology, smart mum !) and worked very hard to pass the med school exam. But when he got it he then decided to go to musical school instead. He never intend to become a doctor, it was all just to prove a point to his mum so he then went to musical school and his mum had to approve (smart son ! 😂). I didn't know his father was in the medical field however, that's a lot of educated and talented persons in this family !
JannaMooners Jimenezzz I’m also a simple person. I see a good comment in a good video and a good profile picture ( i purple you) so I like the comment and video
The play style of Lang Lang brings a quote to mind from Mark Twain, “Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.” Eddy mentioned in the video that he has earned the write to play the pieces as he wishes, and I very much agree. The fact that Lang Lang plays the pieces in his own style does not mean that does not have the capability or skills to master the original interpretation, rather it more likely means that he already has mastered them and seeks to make his own performances original as a method of popularizing classical music, similar to the mission of TwoSet themselves.
Jackson Horn someone once told me to learn the rules, master them, and break them. Obviously he's learnt and mastered them before breaking them. He just plays however he wants
@@garlicpepper1334 Id agree regarding people who 'hate' him. I mean people who simply dislike his inyerpretations generally just dislike it. they don't throw fits or claim he cannot play. They just don't listen to his music.
I do love your repertoire, but I've never been intrested in the piano because it seems like such a lonely instrument, despiste all the concertos and chamber music.
@@8LyJu8 lonely? what do you mean? piano is really versatile and in my opinion at least can be played by itself and sound like a whole orchestra, but also play with any other instrument and compliment that one perfectly...
It's impressing that they lately been uploading so much(ling ling must have been proud), they must have a lot of ideas. Stay healthy Eddy, Brett, Sophie Oui Oui & Editor-san♡
Fun fact: They never repeat an idea. Most of their ideas are totally original. They have borrowed many ideas and styles of videos but always put their own stamp on them. Huge respect!
They had to cancel their tour and their participation to the Menuhin Competition, they have nothing else to do in quarantine... What's that ? Practice ? Never heard of it. 😁
7:20 Actually, Mozart wrote most of his concerts in a hurry (they were assigned "works": compositions that had to be ready even within a week) and well knowing that he (and not any other pianist) would play them and most likely they would never be played again: at that time people always wanted to listen to new music (it was not like now that you play mostly music from the past, more than contemporary music). So, he wrote only the "skeleton" of the music he was going to play, because it would not be published, and they were guide notes to which he would then add all the fioriture and embellishments at the moment of the performance, improvising.
When Shophie, Brett and Eddy talked about Lang Lang....I have to tell that he practised 10 Beethoven's piano sonatas during this covid-19.......damn he is the Beast.
Since they did not specify, the Mozart Piano Concerto at 5:36 is no. 23 (K488) 2nd movement. I really suggest to listen to it.. I think I'm in love with that piece Edit: and the Chopin Mazurka at 10:38 is Op. 68 no. 2 fyi
It is so easy to learn making a sound on the piano, but it is sooooo hard to develop the ability to make music on it. Much respect to the featured pianists, and to Ms. Sophie Oui oui.
You guys said "let's move on" too many times. Don't move on. Just keep nerding out. I play guita r and know as much as 7 or 8 chords from memory. I am not a knowledgeable musician in any way. But you guys talk and describe things in a way even I can understand it. And I go back and listen to a piece and find what you talked about. Don't jump ahead. Keep going deeper. Because even if you don't know about music there is so much we can still get from these conversations. Thanks for the video!!! It was awesome!!!

This was one of my very favorite of your pieces, primarily because of your intelligent and sensitive responses to the piano performances. No flash, no special effects, or stagey reactions: just serious consideration. Sophie contributes to that overall impression, but I also love her appreciation of you guys too: your critical observations and your humor. (I'm inclined to guess that you call her "oui- oui " because she says "yes" to both violin and piano.) I also like your "solo" pieces, but the atmosphere changes when a woman - e.g. the wonderful Hilary - shows up to give you guys a hand.
I love how even though the world changed, the piano stills holds on to it’s beautiful black and white..... As a member of the piano gang.... “I’m proud of the instrument I play”
Practise 40 hours a day and you will be amazing! 😄 Well maybe I am underestimating the piano since I am a guitarist, but practise makes a man perfect right?
Me, a guitarist: cries more Edit: guys what I meant was no body knows about our repertoire cuz all they care about is "hey that guy looks hot with a guitar" or "can you play that one song that I know?"
Martha Argerich's Prokofiev is one of my favourites! Whenever I listen to it I have to listen all the way through. I never have the heart to turn it off midway. It sounds bold yet fragile at the same time. It's an experience in and of itself. I once saw her live in Japan and it was such an amazing experience.
Seong-Jin Cho is my favorite pianist. He puts so much emotion behind his playing, and he really inspires me to work harder and play with so much more emotion
seong-jin cho’s chopin étude op. 10 no. 1 is just beautiful. it feels like magic. like, seriously, the way he articulates the arpeggios is just delicious. i don’t know how else to put it. i love it. it’s my favourite recording of the étude.
i love Sophie, how calm and humble she is. her skill and knowledge is amazing, and Brett and Eddie host her well, without overpowering her quietness. lovey. always great to see these amazing ladies, ms Hahn, and ms Druml. my favorite episodes often have them.
Video Idea: TwoSet goes through a favorite piece and explains the mind-blowing techniques the composer used. To me (a non-classical musician), a piece sounds pretty, but I know I'm missing all sorts of intricacies and nuances that impress real musicians. Could you walk us through a piece and explain why each part is impressive to you? That'd be awesome! Thanks!
Sophie when lis(z)tening to her favourite recordings: *is calm, quiet, peaceful* TwoSet when listening to their favourite recordings: *isbejheksheievdiegi* :O!!!!
Seong jin cho is actually incredible! I was looking for some recordings for chopin nocturne op 48 no 1, and after talking to my piano teacher about the piece for an hour, I found his recording from the chopin competition and I've never found someone play a piece so close to how I imagined it being played---at least something as complex as this nocturne.
I’m a pianist. Thanks for this video! Daniil Trifonov is my favorite pianist. It’s like we have the same soul - everything he plays, I’d play exactly the same way. With other pianists (especially when they are playing romantic composers’ pieces, like Chopin) I always have thoughts in my mind like, “I’d play this differently... more ritenuto... not so harsh... more/less pedal...etc.” And I’m not saying that I don’t like how they are playing or that their interpretations are worse in any way. No, they are just different from how I’d play, or have played it. But with Trifonov - NOTHING!! I’m just mesmerized.
Dimash! Hell yeah! I've suggested them about him through IG direct message, but no response so far. I really want to see what they've got to say about prince of Kazakh!
i’m a simple person. i see my bois eddy and brett, i click. edit: guys look at sophie oui oui’s shirt edit 2: oh my gosh her watch is really pretty too edit 3: nobody: absolutely nobody: sophie oui oui: prokofiev prokofiev prokofiev prokofiev
I think his interpretation for Chopin etudes is amazing, also my favourite Seong-Jin chopin performance is the prelude Op. 28 no 24, the sound he produces is so clean and deep and those lasts single notes are MASSIVE, but I prefer Zimerman for ballades and Rubinstein for most of the nocturnes
As an amateur pianist who has learnt a Chopin Mazurka in the past, I agree 100% with what she said about their difficulty! There is a lot of nuance in the rhythm and texture to playing a mazurka that makes a proper interpretation much more difficult than it originally seems.
Omg I love when twoset collabs with Sophie Oui Oui. She gives so much insight on piano life and the all time piano greats. You guys should do another vid with 6 flute pieces people should listen to.
I really like how they interact. Even for someone who doesn’t know about music like me, it is easy to understand. I am learning to appreciate music better because of Twoset❤️ thank you!
No he wasn't. It's just one of the many myths that spread about him. Like that he participated in the 48h car race or that he was related to Jacopone da Todi. Insider information: my grandma was his student.
@@trinity_goff and Pollini. Michelangeli had loads of students, he organized many masterclasses, sometimes covering all costs for students that he believed were worthy, but didn't have the financial means. He was an aristocratic and gentle soul, hidden beneath a layer of grumpiness; and most importantly a maniac perfectionist. We have a direct testimony of one of his students that he once practiced a single note for 10 hours. Just repeating it over and over lol
I am a pianist and I personally prefer this second selection of performances than the first one, but I agree so much with her in almost everything. Love Sophie Oui oui
You just introduced me to the music of Martha Argerich and Prokofiev. I knew their names, but never really got to listen to them until now. Thank you Two Set and Sophie!
this actually safed my day. I really miss going to live concerts and I had a quite shitty day so far, but hearing and seeing these awesome musicians creating beautiful art .. well, as cheesy as this may sound .. nurtured my soul. please make more videos like this!
||: try | fail :| fail better (da capo) || It’s not cheesy to say that in this community. This kind of beautiful music makes everything seem better. Most folks here would agree with you!
MRM CircuitrY I know, but his recordings and performances sprinkled across TH-cam are fantastic. I particularly love his rendition of Bach’s keyboard concerto 1, mvmnt 1, with Bernstein.
Pianists: "how many octaves do you want?"

seong-jin cho’s chopin étude op. 10 no. 1 is just beautiful. it feels like magic. like, seriously, the way he articulates the arpeggios is just delicious. i don’t know how else to put it. i love it. it’s my favourite recording of the étude.
I always love your collabs with Sophie Druml - her comments are insightful, clear, and very precise. More collabs in the future please!!!!
The Friedrich Gulda excerpt was simply sublime. So expressive.
4:21 That in-sync head tilt is adorable
*Before it was OneSet, then it was TwoSet, now it is ThreeSet*
Well Fiveset if you count Hilary and Ray
Okay SixSet counting Olaf
ur profile and username is amazing btw
@@miwir1248 actually 9 set if you add editor san, the wall, the microphone, the merch..(coz it always focuses on those stuff)
It's toomanytocountset cuz they have many amazing friends and I'm sure they wouldn't mind including the audience soooooo yeah.
i love Sophie, how calm and humble she is. her skill and knowledge is amazing, and Brett and Eddie host her well, without overpowering her quietness. lovey. always great to see these amazing ladies, ms Hahn, and ms Druml. my favorite episodes often have them.
Brett with beanie: super happy
Brett without beanie: super serious
we must protect sophie at all cost
Video Idea: TwoSet goes through a favorite piece and explains the mind-blowing techniques the composer used. To me (a non-classical musician), a piece sounds pretty, but I know I'm missing all sorts of intricacies and nuances that impress real musicians. Could you walk us through a piece and explain why each part is impressive to you? That'd be awesome! Thanks!
That would be nice!
YESSSSS!!!
I would really appreciate a video like this for the clarinet gang out there ...
Ray Chen's Channel =D
Sophie: For insiders, he is really famous
Twoset: ohh we’re outsiders. It is out of our scope of knowledge.
Me: (super outsider) 👏👏👏
Sophie when lis(z)tening to her favourite recordings: *is calm, quiet, peaceful*
TwoSet when listening to their favourite recordings: *isbejheksheievdiegi* :O!!!!
Ahhh, I see what you did with the Lis(z)tening. You're a clever cookie.
@@brassholio thanks! I was hoping someone would get it 🤭
Seong jin cho is actually incredible! I was looking for some recordings for chopin nocturne op 48 no 1, and after talking to my piano teacher about the piece for an hour, I found his recording from the chopin competition and I've never found someone play a piece so close to how I imagined it being played---at least something as complex as this nocturne.
Great to see young musicians speak so eloquently about music
I love her picks. She’s got a WONDERFUL taste👏🏼
Has anyone noticed that Sophie is wearing TwoSet merch?
Everybody...
took me awhile till i realized it in the 4th minute mark. lol
Throughout the video,her hair was covering the last few letters,so I didn’t know whether the shirt said “it’s a violin” or “it’s a viola”
Not an accident
She did in the previous vid too (I think it was a hoodie). What I want to know is whether she buys them or whether she gets free merch from the guys.
whoa She actually pronuonced seongjin cho correctly😳😍
I’m a pianist. Thanks for this video!
Daniil Trifonov is my favorite pianist. It’s like we have the same soul - everything he plays, I’d play exactly the same way. With other pianists (especially when they are playing romantic composers’ pieces, like Chopin) I always have thoughts in my mind like, “I’d play this differently... more ritenuto... not so harsh... more/less pedal...etc.” And I’m not saying that I don’t like how they are playing or that their interpretations are worse in any way. No, they are just different from how I’d play, or have played it.
But with Trifonov - NOTHING!! I’m just mesmerized.
Sophie is so chill
this kind of video becomes a ‘practice-booster’ especially for me as beginner-piano-gang,please makes another instruments too!✨
Since I’m early, repeating two of my old requests:
1. Please try playing the theremin
2. Please react to Dimash
Dimash! Hell yeah! I've suggested them about him through IG direct message, but no response so far. I really want to see what they've got to say about prince of Kazakh!
I'd like to see Dimash too. He deserves more attention than he gets.
100% agree, I feel that the voice gang would also enjoy and be amazed at it!
YES PLEASE!!!
PLEASE TRY THE THEREMIN
i’m a simple person.
i see my bois eddy and brett, i click.
edit: guys look at sophie oui oui’s shirt
edit 2: oh my gosh her watch is really pretty too
edit 3:
nobody:
absolutely nobody:
sophie oui oui: prokofiev prokofiev prokofiev prokofiev
Exactly
All Ling Lings champion the violas (Hilary too!)

Seong-Jin Cho has the best interpretations of Chopin no cap.
I think his interpretation for Chopin etudes is amazing, also my favourite Seong-Jin chopin performance is the prelude Op. 28 no 24, the sound he produces is so clean and deep and those lasts single notes are MASSIVE, but I prefer Zimerman for ballades and Rubinstein for most of the nocturnes
Ivan Moravec Chopin Nocturnes are my favorite and it’s not close.
Yundi, Kristian Zimmerman, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet are right there as well imo
Give it a try on Arrau's Nocturnes
@@radjedi2010 Finally someone who mentions moravec
His interpretation for fourth ballade is the BEST yall need to try
As an amateur pianist who has learnt a Chopin Mazurka in the past, I agree 100% with what she said about their difficulty! There is a lot of nuance in the rhythm and texture to playing a mazurka that makes a proper interpretation much more difficult than it originally seems.
The austrian accent in the names is lovely
Omg I love when twoset collabs with Sophie Oui Oui. She gives so much insight on piano life and the all time piano greats. You guys should do another vid with 6 flute pieces people should listen to.
Guilty: I haven’t even finished the video but just glad to see Mademoiselle Sophie Senpai again! And Trifanovvvvv and Seong Jin cho whoooohooo

I usually don't leave any comment but i'mma leave one right now, Sophie is literally SO CUTE!!!
I really like how they interact. Even for someone who doesn’t know about music like me, it is easy to understand. I am learning to appreciate music better because of Twoset❤️ thank you!
Piano Gang: WE WANT PART 3!
I second that 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻🎉
Yes PLEASE!!!
Yes
Insider information: Michaelangeli was a musician and a doctor.
...hE wAs tHe pErFeCt aSaIn sOn
We finally found Ling Ling ! 😄
No he wasn't. It's just one of the many myths that spread about him. Like that he participated in the 48h car race or that he was related to Jacopone da Todi. Insider information: my grandma was his student.
@@pianoplaynight so was Argerich for a short time!
@@trinity_goff and Pollini. Michelangeli had loads of students, he organized many masterclasses, sometimes covering all costs for students that he believed were worthy, but didn't have the financial means. He was an aristocratic and gentle soul, hidden beneath a layer of grumpiness; and most importantly a maniac perfectionist. We have a direct testimony of one of his students that he once practiced a single note for 10 hours. Just repeating it over and over lol
After seeing the hardest violin pieces video, I really was hoping this would be a follow up! Awesome videos twoset gang!
I am a pianist and I personally prefer this second selection of performances than the first one, but I agree so much with her in almost everything. Love Sophie Oui oui
That performance of Op. 10 No. 1 inspired me to learn it.
i love how she put my favorite interprétation of my favorite young pianist seong jin cho
Argerich is my favorite player of Chopin. She also had a mesmerizing performance of a Bach partita in her live at the Concertbau.
Argerichhas been playing for so long that she kind of started doing whatever she wants out of boredom. I absolutely love her.
Is it just me or is Brett wearing PRACTICE™ sweatpants as a scarf
Oh my God he is!
i think it's the sweater 1:39
@@jasy-9250that would make more sense yeah
That ain't the sweater...? Should I update my eyeglasses...?
@Lacia Lew Yes
This needs to be an ongoing series!
You just introduced me to the music of Martha Argerich and Prokofiev. I knew their names, but never really got to listen to them until now. Thank you Two Set and Sophie!
Argerich is the best. The queen of piano
By now you probably already tried/beard her playing the infamous Rach. Concertos
this actually safed my day. I really miss going to live concerts and I had a quite shitty day so far, but hearing and seeing these awesome musicians creating beautiful art .. well, as cheesy as this may sound .. nurtured my soul. please make more videos like this!
||: try | fail :| fail better (da capo) || It’s not cheesy to say that in this community. This kind of beautiful music makes everything seem better. Most folks here would agree with you!
twoset: PIANO GANG!
piano gang: *_EQUALITY MY DUDES!!!_*
My man Gould isn’t here :(.
Love the choices though! Agerich is one of my favorites.
Funny Gould seems not sooo popular, at least it was called Michelangeli that surprised me...
gould mostly did studio work
MRM CircuitrY I know, but his recordings and performances sprinkled across TH-cam are fantastic. I particularly love his rendition of Bach’s keyboard concerto 1, mvmnt 1, with Bernstein.
Yeah, because Gould is a phony:)
@@juleslefumiste9204 LOL
I'm an outsider outsider and know next to nothing with regards to music, but that clip of Friedrich Gulda wow!
could listen to sophie speak all day
