Hey, I'm the girl who confronted the fake violinist! I'm a super non-confrontational person and I don't get angry easily, but seeing that guy made me feel like I had to say something as a violinist. And the funniest thing is, I actually have severe social anxiety disorder, but somehow I had the guts to talk to that guy (though I definitely wouldn't have been able to without my mom there LOL)
I like your courage and integrity
As you should omg!
Wow
You definitely did the right thing! Good for you
you're awesome for stepping up :D
Me who actually thought that they confronted a fake violin busker in person: *sweats nervously*
WTF SAMEEEE
Yeah same!!
Same
Yeah I was super nervous when I saw the title.
YO SAME
Can we appreciate how these guys have just been raining us with content every day. Truly dedicated youtubers
I just hope they take care of themselves as much, if not more, than they work... 😘
All i can say is: im happy.
And i dont want them to get sick doing this-
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia Yeah I'm kinda worried about their & especially Brett's health..
Practic3 40 hours a da3
Definitely, they are legends.
the mom was straight up pissed 😂
as she should be
I like what she added at the end, that this guy refused a job interview. He's not desperate for money, as people sometimes comment under this type of video...
it was definitely giving karen…why would they even care? they’re trying to survive. as far as getting a job interview, who wants to be exploited for like $9/hour? remember what breeds crime…poverty. violently robbing people would be horrible, but this is just something to laugh at and keep moving
@@tfh5575 Yes, because everybody knows that the only two options for poor people are scamming others or violently robbing them. I must have missed the memo because I have been poor my entire life and never done either of these things. Silly me, taking the opportunities I was given to have an honest job... 😒
@@tfh5575 tell me you’re uncomfortable so you accidentally exposed yourself without telling me you’re uncomfortable so you accidentally exposed yourself.
@@tfh5575 thank you. You're the only comment in this whole comment section that shows a little compassion for people
I really admire the person and her mom for confronting the scammer. My social anxiety could never.
hey, im the one who confronted the scammer 😅 i actually have severe social anxiety, but since my mom was there i was able to talk to him since i wasn't alone. moral of the story: people with social anxiety can do anything, as long as their mom is with them
I also have social anxiety and a mom, can confirm
@@lili-yd9tr HAHA
@@reaganb6013 Let's create a club of socially anxious people with courageous moms ! 😅
If it can make you feel better, I had severe social anxiety when I was a teenager and I'm doing much better now. It takes time but it's absolutely possible to get better and have a "normal" life, where you can speak to strangers without being on the verge of tears... (Just sharing so that you know there's hope, you don't have to suffer from this your entire life.)
In any case, mad props to you for doing what you did, it was very courageous ! 😊👍
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia yesss let's do it, and thank you so much for the kind words :) it makes me glad to hear. luckily ive started therapy and medication for it so im doing better than i was a year ago, and im glad to hear that you're better too
Eddy: Brettina
Brettany: *sad noises*
Identical twins I guess
As a violinist of 15 years myself, I only wish I’d had the same grace that the young lady and her mother showed when confronting the fake violinist.. I just get so freaking triggered when I see that kinda thing on TV or in films to the point that I skip past the scene entirely or I’ll just get up and leave the room. Sacrilegious!!! Lol. I’ve yet to witness this fake artistry in real life, though!
jfc
Why? I don’t get it. it’s fun. You get to spot the fake. No one has to give him money
I think it's scummy to do it in real life, but on film and TV it's not "fake artistry" - it's acting. The person who actually played the piece will have been paid and known what it was going to be used for (they may also be paid to advise the actor and/or act as a body double for some scenes). Plus the audience knows that some of what they're seeing isn't real so it's on them if they assume the actor can really play like that, whereas if you see someone performing on the street it's reasonable to assume they actually are playing.
@@M_SC right, I understand your point- all I’m saying is, I’m not sure I’d have handled it the same way they did.
@@tfh5575 well 🤷🏻♂️ sns
That's my recording of Sorabji's In the Hothouse. So glad it was featured on a Twoset video!
Congratulations, that's amazing
Nice, have my like
It is in your channel actually 🧐👏
I thought it was quite a nice recording! I enjoyed it.
Very nice
Regarding the Asian pianist meme:
The fact that they're violinists yet have played the piano is just amazing 😂😂
well for me to get gr10 violin i need gr 6 piano and ARCT (basically a grade abouve gr 10) i need gr 8 piano (idk if im accurate but im sure abt the arct one)
yep a lot of musicians start out as pianists
They actually have played piano. Watch their draw our lives video
edit: after re-reading the comment, it's sad to know they're so much more talented than me
@MasamuneDisgust oop ya, lol my grammar is bad past 9 pm lol
Me being Asian but never learned any instruments: too broke to afford one
Eddy found himself slightly attracted to Brettina 😂😂😂
He had a moment of mild bi panic right there.
Didnt we all!
I though Brett's female alter ego was Brettany. Have I been lied to all these years ?... 😯
Ikr???? 😂 😂 😂 😂
let’s be honest he wasn’t the only one
In case you guys didn't know, Sorabji also wrote a monumental cycle of piano pieces entitled Opus Clavicembalisticum, which lasts between 4 to 4-and-a-half hours.
Yeah, he's also got a piece that's over 9 hours long(his symphonic variations). His 5th piano sonata, the Opus Archimagicum is also like 6 hours long.
@@dhruvsawant9234 At least it only requires a single performer. Havergal Brian ‘s First Symphony - the “Gothic” Symphony - is written for a huge orchestra, four mini brass bands, between two-to-four mixed choirs, and a children’s choir!
Opus Clav. is a single 12-movement piece. Not a cycle of pieces.
@@wilh3lmmusic Ah, I see.
@@gwydionrhys7672 I mean, wouldn't playing a ridiculously technically challenging piece solely by yourself, with the complexity of a symphony(I mean it's sorabji) for 6 +hours straight be alot harder than just playing a part in a long symphony?
Doctors still use pager in some parts of the world to get notified of emergency. It's coverage is like FM radio, way better than regular phone signal.
I'm from Canada, they still use pager. :')
In Australia, we also use pagers regularly, not just for emergencies. Although the first thing you'd do when you leave the hospital is turn that thing off - I can imagine how embarrassing and distracting it would be for it to go off during a concert!
Pagers are still used by hospitals in the UK too 😂
How do you type on pager? My mum used to have pager and she says you only can receive messages but you can’t type message on the pager , how you be sending the message?
@@CutieRingoJoy the ones I've used in hospital, you just call the pager number which bleeps and alerts the person carrying it who called. That person just has to ring the caller back using a phone haha. Can't really send much of a message
I'm half-Japanese and the funny story about my piano days is that it's the only instrument I ever started taking lessons out of jealousy. My brother was getting piano lessons way back in 2004 and I was so jealous that I wanted piano lessons also.
You guys listened to one of Sorabji's early works: if you want to listen to super complicated one, please try his Sonatas, Opus Clavicembalisticum, or 100 Transcendental Études. I still don't get it, though... LOL I think my favorites are his Three Pastiches, especially Hindu Merchant one.
Thanks for the recs.. I am writing then down
When I was looking for your suggestion of the Opus Clavicembalsticum I found another piece , Le Preux , Op. 17 by Charles-Valentin Alkan who not only is fondly described as an octopus but described his own composition as “ playable only by me and Franz Liszt” . Liszt described the Alkan composition as “ impossible to play “ .
I watched a video by ‘Erolon ‘ of ‘Le Preux’ which was an animated keyboard and a pianola-type roll scrolling down completely synced to the keys played on the keyboard . There must be a proper name or app for what I was watching but it gave another angle to the piece and a change from reading the sheet music .
ive seen u from seong-yong hwang
@@Helen-sound but the thing is, Le Preux isn’t Alkan hardest and definitely not comparable to Sorabji
@@charles-valentinalkan4376 Well, many pieces by contemporary composers such as Sorabji didn't indicate the specific key - they started to compose "atonal" music.
You wanna know what's a strange combo?
Lychee passion fruit jelly with taro milk tea plus mango and cheese foam milk
-eddy and brett 2021
I thought they would add durian after taro milktea, but thankfully they didn't 😂
sounds dellicious
Kinda sounds good
That's... not strange. At all.
@@7James77, Nope, nope, nope.
Sorabji has actually got the most demonic and insanely difficult piano compositions. Take Liszt and multiply it by 1000.
but i guess no one has ever really heard of him. honestly i dont think his pieces really sound that good...
Especially Opus Clavicembalisticum and 100 Transcendental Etudes. Not to forget, also Xenakis, Godowsky, Ligeti, and Scriabin, who also composed insanely difficult pieces.
@@keyuratata8200 It does sound good if you are comfortable listening to it
@@COOL_GEEK_ Also, his Symphonic Variations and 5th Sonata are insane too
Perhaps it is time to take Liszt down the liszt (intentional) and maybe give Sorabji some exposure and well-deserved credit
Sorabji sounded like a Parsi name to me and I was curious to see if there was this Indian composer I did not know about, so I went looking into him and his life and boy, that man led a iNtErEsTiNg life to say the least.
He was British, but one of his family was Indian Parsi.
*Edit: Parsi, not Farsi (Persian Language).
@@Yubin_Lee_Doramelin yeah i got to know that :)
SAME I was so intrigued by his name! I thought he had a connection with India too especially bc someone in the comments mentioned that he composed a piece called Hindu Merchant
I love with my entire being how the upvote button is a sharp and the downvote button is a flat
Twoset: a little bit of viola appreciation
Twoset seconds later: alright guys that’s it for today!
Me: it was fun while it lasted
7:03 This is why Brett and Eddy first met at a math tutoring class
Just because I’m Korean doesn’t mean I play the violin…
I mean…
I do.
But not because of my mom or anything.
Wait no
My mom wanted me to take violin.
😧
Im korean and I learned the piano when I was a kid, but when my piano teacher wanted me to learn harder stuff for the enterance exam for art school, they had me quit so I can study for the uni lol
4:45 their reaction to these edits are always hilarious. on a serious note, that editing is so good! brett is good looking whether he's a male or photoshopped as a female
4:52 eddy, why are you panicking.... explain
9:20 - _"A little bit, of viola, appreciation"_ lol It's like a compliment, and a 'burn' - all at the same time! Cheers-
I hope you hit 4 mil soon, I wanna see Brett play
We're already 1/4 of the way there!
@@adonaimartinez8160 yea ikr!
don't worry, "H I J K" just stands for "ha I'm just kidding"
Be careful your bow, cats think the bow movement as a signal to play with them. My cats always target my bows…
On the bottom of the bottom of the iceberg are the woman composers
No, these are deep at the bottom of ocean
Sad....
twoset once again proving why they ended up in math tutor together and became violinists
Twoset still cannot do math.
Yup, that be twoset
Twoset is like daily therapy for us lol 😂
Lmao the "Push Handel Down" had me dying
4:45 Love Brett´s reaction to that photoshopped "Brettina" picture, he be like ՜ʘꞈʘ՝
You know it’s lingling forty hours when you see some crazy title like this ;)
When you take a break from the subreddit to practice only to watch an episode on the subreddit.
If you're reading this, I'm PRACTICING!
It’s honestly so sick that fake violin busking is a trend now 😤
TwoSet: Yeah lol feels like almost all Asians learn the piano-
me, Asian: joke’s on you! I only know how to play the flute! >:3
TwoSet: -and if they had to play a woodwind instrument, it’s usually flute-
me: _DAMMIT._
me, who plays both:
🤣🤣🤣 they really got you, huh?
That Brett's photoshop was something out of this world 👀😅
Cello is now a wind instrument
7:20 Savage Editor-san is savage 💀💀💀
My favorite key: J flat minor
for brett and eddy asking about what instruments asians tend to learn, in my experience majority of the musicians i know are self taught guitar
It was pointed out to me recently that this is likely because a decent guitar is cheap relative to other instruments and they don't need electricity like a keyboard. Beginner level classical instruments are expensive!
aye, a guitar can be played in several ways and it’s a bit easier on people who might not fully understand music yet. People like me who died on stage after failing minuet on the piano can relax playing chords on a guitar. Plus it’s portable
Brettina.. was so pretty, I wish we can be friends (is it me or Eddy seems so disturbed by a possibe female Brett).. I am so proud of myself for knowing quite a number of those composers and I am also educated with the new names. I've always liked Russian composers' style and I am loving Scriabin! Thanks, TwoSet and TwoSetters~!
Eddy saying "not knowing how to feel about Brett" is pretty clear about how he actually feels :).
Correct, was thinking that too
brettina?
I cant believe you forgot about brettany, eddy. lamentable!
When you had a really bad day and Two set knows how you make you feel better
"Every asian has played the piano"
Indians : Speak for yourself
Aussies use term Asians for Chinese or Japanese only, whereas US includes Indians.
Lol I’m Indian and I’m learning piano right now lol!
@@Helz777 From what I've seen Americans also just tend to incorrectly use the term to refer to East Asians only. And regardless of how it's used, it's still incorrect, Asia doesn't just have an East lol. Similar to how in the UK "Asian" tends to refer to South Asians, since there's more South Asian people here.
I think most of the people here has learnt carnatic music as a kid. But number of people who take music as a career is very low.
I'm indian and Im learning violin lol
Playing the bassoon would be generous; if you really wanted to punish them you would make them play the oboe.
Totally agree Lingling 40 hours is the BEST subreddit! 😍
Kudos to mom and daughter who confronted that fake violinist.
The influence TwoSet has on musicians and non musicians continues to amaze me 👏🏽
Twoset: make sure to practice after the video ends
Me: clicks on another Twoset video that I probably already watched 3 times
We should have a Viola appreciation day.
Medtner is an incredible composer, one of the greatest, but so piano-centric. It's understandable that non-pianists haven't heard of him or wouldn't vibe with his music as much. But well worth the effort. Everything firmly grounded in tonality and tight formal structure, but nevertheless with a unique approach and voice.
I agree with whoever recommended the violin/piano sonatas as a first taste. His quintet is accessible too.
This is the earliest I've been on a video, someone congratulate me pls lol
congrats 🍾
Twoset community rocks! Thanks twoset violin for inspiring us all💖💖💖
Edit: I'm not a musician but you've reignited my passion for classical music. Thank you for that! You guys are becoming my safe place.
Same, I'm also not a musician but I am so inspired by Twoset and the community ♡ I've learnt a lot of things, and I'm very grateful for that :)
@@hehehehe6934 Right? this place is the greatest - super nice people, super talented musicians, equally talented community. I love it.
@@lauradasilvaribeiro773 yess ❤️
If you want to play I absolutely promise you it is never too late. If you want it, you can do it.
@@dees3179 I want to I honestly do but unfortunately financially I'm not able to. (Single parent) but if the opportunity ever comes up I'm going to grab it!
Medtner and Scriabin are pretty cool in their own particular ways.. There are three violin+piano sonatas by Nikolaj Medtner, the first one is very singing, lovely.. and so are his "Two Canzonas with Dances" for violin and piano, - both have very good videos on TH-cam.
The girl that confronted that guy is literally amazing!
You guys are my new YT addition, they run the course, I was watching hours of Doctor Mike, then suddenly one of your videos appeared and I've probably watched 5 (being conservative) of them so far. I have no idea how you got started, if you're friends or brothers or what... but you are HIGHLY entertaining. Thanks!!
They are best friends! And yes their videos are awesome
Doctor mike and twoset take over my youtube too! Cant remember why i began watching them but i am hooked lol
Every youtuber at the end of their video: please like, subscribe and leave a comment!
Twoset: PRACTISE!!
They should make a playlist of all the lingling40hrs so we can find them easier
They have one but it's not in chronological order.
@@cmmartti it's probably intentional
7:07 need to go back to math tutoring 😂
Naming the black keys letters gave me slight brain damage lol
"Push Handel Down" cracked me up 🤣
everytime you guys say, "remember to go to practice after this video!!", I feel like I cannot disappoint you both and go back to studying, (not playing an instrument atm so that's practice for me) ＼(ﾟｰﾟ＼)
same!
So I've just started learning an eastern classical instrument called Rabab. I watch your channel a lot and would love to play some western classical pieces on this instrument. Absolutely love your work. Thanks for making classical musical fun and accessible!
TwoSet: We practice violin, not math
as an asian, i started out with piano and violin, then i played flute and my main instrument is cello. my sister is the same except she plays clarinet instead of flute. they deadass hit the nail on the head💀💀
Omg wat the heck😱
violin charades! bring back violin charades!
Can’t tell you how much I needed the little bit of viola appreciation today, thanks twoset!
Heehee I came on to TH-cam to rewatch a TwoSet video, and as soon as I started scrolling, they uploaded. Oh what a good start to the day 😄
Brett has been continuously wearing white ever since someone commented abt 2 weeks ago abt how he looked good in white...😁
My mood the whole day : 😒😐
My mood when Twoset uploads : 😃😌
An idea that's not super related to this video but kinda inspired by the amazing solo Brett did on the fan-composing one:
Get a bag with different emoji/emotions/sceneries, draw one out, IMPROVISE on the spot something that can reflect that emotion/scene!
Edit: Even tho you guys said that you are not good at improvisation, I'm always impressed by what you created, so please do more!!
Your comments are great! Thats so smart
@@mentallyunstablernplssendhelp lol Thanks for the support! And seeing you replying to many of my comments is a true pleasure!
1:45
Vocal coaches could never😌
The worst part of the day is when twoset videos end
7:02...and that's precisely why they met each other in math tutoring 😂 THREE miscalculations HAHA
Brett & Eddy: writing on piano keys is sacrilegious
Me, teaching my youngest piano students: let's color code all the keys!
I would just ask if i could play...shred and calmly walk away lol
I've thought of this[not that I could do it] but if they're faking their instrument is not going to make a sound. It would have to be silenced to allow the audio to be played.
LOL... That little "Who has a pager?" and "Do violas have fabric?" XD XD
My grandpa loved Scriabin. He was very hard of hearing so he always played his music extremely loud. I loved my grandpa but car rides with him scared the sh*t out of me
Me being asian but doesn't play any of the instruments listed
Also me: play the euphonium*
A strange combo should be pineapple and pizza.
Everyone after this video: Gonna go listen to scriabin now.
7:12 lol the Karma farmer strike again
I haven't entered to the subreddit recently, sorry, but WOW, I really like this community.
My day just got 10 times better
I liked the some seconds of viola appreciation.
I loved the video as always x)
Who else misses the old lingling40hours intro
Finally the time for the Scottish Symphony i.e. Mendelssohn No.3!!!! My favourate symphonic piece
Video idea:
You guys test all the different bubble tea pearl flavours (like strawberry, apple,coconut,...)and then rate them on a scale (1 to 10) from 'sacreligious' to 'ling ling bubble tea' and decide which one is the best
A great video as always! 💕
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹❤
is "8 seconds out of sync" the new "if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly" ?
What's this from?
We violas finally got some appreciation on this channel 🥺😭
Ayyyyy another vid)) Thank you guys)) you raise my mood every day!😊
Hi, early gang
Yes sirrrr
Bye
Hello
Yooooo
Here
Confront the scammers 👏🏽👏🏽
i said this on the last video- but thank you both so much and also thank you everyone who is here in the comment section for being such an amazing community. i just went through a breakup like 12 hrs ago and.. its hard but at least i have you guys :)
Brettina looks very pretty just saying
0:36 Cilantro century-egg blood-cake durian carrot pizza yogurt bubble tea
Fried fish spearmint parmesan stewed tomato peanut butter pearls bubble tea 🧋
Brett and eddy are uploading videos daily and im here for it ✋
i love how watching a twoset episode has made part of my daily routine (when there's no episode i watch an old video)
