No but I did a similar thing when I was that age because I was mad at my sister and I am so ashamed of it now! I wouldn't dream of making a comment like that because it's so rude to the rest of the orchestra and the conductor. But you don't think of this when you're 12, lol!

As a tall lanky 6'3" conductor with long arms, I've learned to be SUPER careful walking thru an orchestra to get to the podium, especially in the pit (I do mostly opera.) It's a mine field of disasters waiting to happen if your arm or leg brushes an instrument. I've never knocked anything over, thank God. But once when I was a newbie conductor, the baton did fly out of my hand and landed in the second violin section. No damage was inflicted and we could all laugh about it later. And I made sure it never ever happened again. We conductors can be dangerous, musically and physically HAHA!
I'm just picturing you, your arms alongside your body, making little steps and brushing the wall to get to the podium in fear of getting close to any instrument, and for some reason I find it hilarious... 😅
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia HAHA! It is. the problem is that most pit entrances are in the back behind the whole brass section near one corner....so you are forced to walk thru the brass, then whatever strings and winds are next to get to that podium. Usually the players are really good about making a pathway for you if they know it's tight, and if so, I always talk to them (especially string players) to let them know I'll be walking by them to get in and out each performance.
Is there some sort of rope that ties the baton to the wrist, like a camera? Why isn’t that a thing? I feel like flying baton is common enough to warrant such a contraption.
@@notepadpowersnail1860 I'm sorry but I find that idea hilarious (although not stupid) because all I can think of is that it would look like a Wiimote.
So he played his teacher's violin, got his crush to play an ensemble with him and actually had he balls to make suggestions on how an expert should play when he was 12 Is Ray the most badass Violinist of modern era 😎
The funny thing is, when I go to school, no one there really knows TwoSet. But I just got back from a NCO music residential and basically everyone there has like a TwoSet sticker, merch or whatever. And we talk about you guys sooo much. This is like an under 13's camp, so I just wanted to let you know just how much you inspire young musicians :) Everyone loves you guys in NCO!
Can I just say that I've only ever met two TwoSet fans (that I knew were fans) and it turned out NONE of us play any instruments xD Perhaps I don't see many visible fans with merch on because having stuff shipped here from Australia is insanely expensive and before you know it, your t-shirt costs you 200% more than the actual price in customs fees and VAT ;_;
Ray was quite cheeky when he was a kid. 😂 And his mom is so powerful with her reverse psychology! 😳 His EQ is so good too; asking if it's okay to laugh about the 💩 story. He was also sensitive like that when Brett imitated Eddy's playing (shaky bow, dancing) in that Guess the Violinist video and he didn't want to guess the violinist. I would love to hear more of Ray's music journey and stories, e.g. when he was a kid, in Curtis, etc.

11:50 When I was performing in a choir in my first year of junior high school, I wanted to cough shortly after singing the first song (it was the rainy season, so my throat was uncomfortable in those days), but I was close to the microphone, so I could only force myself not to cough and start lip-synch. I hold back my cough for about 3 minutes until the end of the second song, and my tears came out because my throat was soooooooo uncomfortable. The principal and school directors sat at the front, and I'm sure they saw my tears, because after the performance, the principal commented that although the choir was very low volume, but there was someone who sang very emotionally, and he was very happy that someone could understand the story behind the song.
Bruh. As a Belgian music lover and kinda violin player I know of Ray Chen because he won our annual music competition in 2007 (Queen Elizabeth). This man is beyond the best of them.
I love that once you've been watching twoset for long enough you start to recognise some of their anecdotes that they've talked about before lol. Not that I mind, I think its awesome. Would love more vids like this, causally chatting about musical experiences with other musicians.
Damn im just finding out how sassy/smooth/ and sly Ray Chen is, purposely forgets his violin to play his teachers, entices the celloist by asking to play chamber music and makes smart remarks to his concert master haha
"Never have I ever messed up an important solo" 12:54 RAY GASLIGHTING BRETT "I mean I heard about it, all the way in America" Lmao I can't. Too savage. Also both the "finish the melody" and this video, Ray looks great in the TS apparel.
I did drop my instrument before I got my violin. I used to drop my first instrument, the guitar a lot. The violin is debatable whether it belongs in the 2nd or 3rd place because there was a ukulele in the common room at my school and I practiced it every day until the students got annoyed and got it removed I guess. When I first got my guitar and went to my first and last music classes, and for a couple of years after that, I did not practice at all. The guitar teacher just ended up quitting. I had only learnt the basics. I guess everyone as children used to expect to go to their first music classes and instantly or somewhat instantly expect to play their favorite music really well without much practice. Nowadays, I'm a lot different from that and practice my instruments 3 days a week due to still having school and schoolwork and other interests as well, but mainly school. Only if I had a work at home, self employed job that I was interested in, that would be really nice
I have a suggestion Do a reaction video for non-western composers' classical pieces(like turkish or Asian)and these pieces will be selected by your fans My recommendation for the arab composers (I am Arab) Will be al-sharq symphony by marcel khalifa (Istanbul orchestra recording first movement) and the second symphony by abu bakr khairat (first movement) Note: sorry for my bad English Another note: please like and comment if and only if you liked the idea, so they can see my comment (if you know any classical piece by a non-western composer let us know in the comments)

11:50 When I was performing in a choir in my first year of junior high school, I wanted to cough shortly after singing the first song (it was the rainy season, so my throat was uncomfortable in those days), but I was close to the microphone, so I could only force myself not to cough and start lip-synch.
I hold back my cough for about 3 minutes until the end of the second song, and my tears came out because my throat was soooooooo uncomfortable.
The principal and school directors sat at the front, and I'm sure they saw my tears, because after the performance, the principal commented that although the choir was very low volume, but there was someone who sang very emotionally, and he was very happy that someone could understand the story behind the song.
You guys provide a great service of light entertainment with education in a time when society needs it.
thank you
I really live their friendship, they‘re actually like the ultimate violin squad 😂😂😂
0:16
"Aged senior's" expression
12:27 that is a genuine WHAT?!
Haha
How the hell does that happen? How do you poop your pants as an adult? That’s crazy bruh
They sound like middle aged moms who were friends in collage, meeting up and talking about “fun stories” drinking wine
Imagine Ray dropping the Strad XD...
Edit: but dropping that Arthur Grumiaux bow is not really less shocking.
ngl Ray patting Eddy's stomach as a gesture of saying sorry was very cute
When Eddy said his 17 yo self lost to a 14 yo girl in a competition, my heart pained hard 😭😂
I checked and Ray won this competition when he was 13. I better understand why Brett and Eddy describe him as "what our parents wish we were"...
more Ray content lamfjsjjg 👁 also the fact that Eddy called him an aged senior or smth 😭😭
what i learned: ray is smooth in whatever he does 🙌
Bruh. As a Belgian music lover and kinda violin player I know of Ray Chen because he won our annual music competition in 2007 (Queen Elizabeth). This man is beyond the best of them.
I love that once you've been watching twoset for long enough you start to recognise some of their anecdotes that they've talked about before lol. Not that I mind, I think its awesome. Would love more vids like this, causally chatting about musical experiences with other musicians.
Damn im just finding out how sassy/smooth/ and sly Ray Chen is, purposely forgets his violin to play his teachers, entices the celloist by asking to play chamber music and makes smart remarks to his concert master haha
"Never have I ever messed up an important solo"
12:54 RAY GASLIGHTING BRETT
"I mean I heard about it, all the way in America"
Lmao I can't. Too savage.
Also both the "finish the melody" and this video, Ray looks great in the TS apparel.
I laughed way too hard at Eddy thinking Ray was telling the truth.
@@carolhayes7750 ME TOO, and the alert sound edit there just made it so much better 😂
I did drop my instrument before I got my violin. I used to drop my first instrument, the guitar a lot. The violin is debatable whether it belongs in the 2nd or 3rd place because there was a ukulele in the common room at my school and I practiced it every day until the students got annoyed and got it removed I guess. When I first got my guitar and went to my first and last music classes, and for a couple of years after that, I did not practice at all. The guitar teacher just ended up quitting. I had only learnt the basics. I guess everyone as children used to expect to go to their first music classes and instantly or somewhat instantly expect to play their favorite music really well without much practice. Nowadays, I'm a lot different from that and practice my instruments 3 days a week due to still having school and schoolwork and other interests as well, but mainly school. Only if I had a work at home, self employed job that I was interested in, that would be really nice
We need a reaction-video to conductors hitting the soloists!
Another “try not to cringe” video!
this video is my comfort video ray is such a lil schemer
Yay! I have been waiting for this ever since Eddy said they are filming another video with Ray in the previous video 😁
I have a suggestion
Do a reaction video for non-western composers' classical pieces(like turkish or Asian)and these pieces will be selected by your fans
My recommendation for the arab composers (I am Arab)
Will be al-sharq symphony by marcel khalifa (Istanbul orchestra recording first movement)
and the second symphony by abu bakr khairat (first movement)
Note: sorry for my bad English
Another note: please like and comment if and only if you liked the idea, so they can see my comment
(if you know any classical piece by a non-western composer let us know in the comments)
That's a good idea! Im arab too btw
👍
This is a cool idea. I wanna hear some Balkan music too.
♥️👍🏻
good idea
Watching this on laptop while listening to Ray practice - will tease him whenever there is a chance (anti distraction practice)
Woah what
Refreshing. Smart and funny.
11:03 - It's funny, because everytime he says "doctor" he goes chinese-ier
This has become like my comfort video, they kind of remind me of kind uncles gossiping at a kopitiam haha. Love their chemistry together, and I'll be always looking forward to the next collab with Ray~
4:01
I want a "most romantic pieces to get your crush's attention"list 😂😭
You can check their video "How to serenade a girl with the violin", there are quite good recommendations. 😊
Absolutely love your dynamic in this trio
Oh, how I love these guys! ❤
Love that Ray is back on their channel
May be you know backgrounds music?
I’ve only watched the intro and know this is going to be hilarious 😂
Edit: It was! I love this trio
0:41 yeah I think so. Lol
Ray chen colabs are so good
8:15 accountability, praise/encouragement, friendly competition. good point, I agree
