Brett and Eddy when someone drops a baby: damn yikes well it's probably fine, they bounce right? Brett and Eddy when a violin slips even the tiniest bit: *pure terror*
I'm not gonna lie I think Brett is slowly developing some form of perfect pitch. I mean it only took him two guesses, and the first wasn't that far off. I've definitely seen worse.
I spent a lot of years in community college concert band. One semester a 14-year-old flute student joined us and was seated right in front of me. During the concert she went to turn her page and her music flew right off her stand. I was about to jump up and grab it for her, but she snatched it right out of midair, slapped it back on her stand and continued playing without missing a beat. Where did she get such poise at age 14? I figured she'd go far if she wanted to.
The thing about memory lapses? The second you realize you can't remember the next note in the middle of a performance, the stress hormone cortisol starts pumping through your system and actually *blocks* memory. Unless you've practiced ways of getting unstuck (like Brett mentioned), it's almost biologically impossible to remember. Also, my guitar strap snapped during a concert and my instrument went bouncing along the floor. Felt like an eternity and the sound was horrifying. Miraculously, it remained intact -- which is more than I can say for my nerves!
While waiting in the wings to play the 2nd piece on my recital, I tripped on a bass saxophone stand, knocking it to the floor, mouthpiece first. I can relate on the horrible sounds of instruments (potentially) being damaged. In my case, the 🎷 was okay, but the mouthpiece, my nerves, and my accompanist who was close to the path of the falling instrument (and the same height of it), not so much 😆
We had our first "gig for exposition" performance with our folk band, me being the singer in it (+ fiddle, viola, doublebass) this hungarian traditional folk style singing being loud and string. 1st song, I sang the first 2 lines of the first verse then - my mouth open, my mind pit h black, music continous 😅😅😅 good thing my bandmates continued the singing and I could catch up, but man it was 20 years ago & it's still brought up every time 🙃
@@mm9374 It looked to me like she was having some sort of illness issue (upset stomach? digestive emergency?) that was forcing her offstage mid-concert. She probably was only barely aware of her surroundings in her hurry. I feel horrible for her.
so the guy at 5:28 was Polish and he said "the piano rode away, it happened for the first time in my life haha" and then he said "well, it was kinda riding away like that from the beggining haha... it's okay" and then "unfortunately, there is no lock" "let's start again" It's pretty impressive how he handled the situation, im proud hah
My piano teachers used to make us have "jumping points" throughout a piece. We would memorize the whole song, certainly, but we also practice jumping to the jumping points so if we had a memory lapse, we can just start elsewhere in the piece.
I feel for the dude at 7:33. I was in a band in high school and one of our first (and only) performances ended awkwardly mid song because someone messed up. But the audience immediately clapped. I am forever thankful for the person who initiated the applause.
For anyone who maybe wants to know what this guy with moving piano said. He said: “ The piano moved. It was first time happened… it was moving like that from the beginning. Unfortunately there is no lock in here, but it’s ok.” Then he said something but boys drown out it. And later: “ Let’s do this one more time”
1:55 Soprano 1 here. Never do that. That's a good way to kill the vocal range you *do* have. You are contributing. Just don't sing the note, go for a harmony. The audience won't miss it if they aren't critics, and if they are they'll praise the recovery if they're any good.
100% She obviously lost her pitch or key beforehand too. #1 rule, don't squeak something out in duress. Put it in a comfortable place and get through it.
You can see her saying a prayer right before screeching… But I doubt she ever sang that note properly in her life. I’m a contralto and I could have sung it in a small floating way. I would never have tried to scream it out 😬
I'm a bass 2, back when i started singing, i would not scream per say, but i would push hard, to obtain range upwards. In the end I damaged my vocal cords.
Oh man the piano piece at 8:06 - what an awful feeling! I've been there. I feel like it's the musical equivalent to getting "the twisties" in gymnastics where something you've practiced and done perfectly a million times, your brain just randomly loses it for no good reason. Except at least in music it won't physically kill you lol
The poor pianist who forgot his piece I so identify with. I was at a music contest in middle school and I started my piece (I think that year it was the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata) over three times before turning to the judges and asking them to have my mother leave the auditorium. I heard a door open and shut, thought she had left and had no problem from then on. Ah, such good times lol.
Hahahaha SO TRUE, but not aplicable to all parents. The good thing about that is that you'll end up building skills to overcome those slips through time
@@carlosvela5486 True. I should probably also confess that at the time my mother was also my piano teacher. Now, some 44 years later, I would encourage everyone to perform for an audience or judges at some point because the poise under pressure it helps you develop is worth it.
Yeah, I felt his pain too. This happened to me in a piano exam. High stress levels just make me blank out and you are not allowed to have sheet music as a pianist in the exams, even as a backup. It's a really horrible feeling. Then you get stressed out even more, so even if you do start over, or from a phrase, you're too self-conscious about that part now and very likely to stumble again.
8:35 is a clip of my professor, Guy Johnston! He says this memory is one of his favourites as it was so surreal. He's got that A string that snapped pinned on the wall in his studio!
I feel for the guy who forgot how to play his piece mid way through on the piano. I used to be like that when I was a kid. If I made a mistake I had to stop and fix it before I could move on. That held me back SO much as a musician. I always tell kids the most important thing they can do when learning piano is to just go ham and play any and all notes and get over the "there is only one right way to play" mentality. If you can get over the fear of playing wrong, then all of a sudden mistakes don't feel so bad and it becomes easier to recover and just keep playing.
I had an experience where I started playing a piece an octave too high (I was really nervous for some reason), but I was going to continue going and fix it once the next section hit, but my freaking teacher stopped me in front of everybody and told me I was an octave too high. I've struggled to recover from making mistakes ever since lol
The snapping cello string triggered a memory of something I haven't thought about in decades. I was trying to choose between two cellos. My teacher was playing one while I had the other (I think). He rested it on the chair to go get something. All of a sudden it exploded into pieces and scared me out of my mind! I guess tension was too great somewhere and it crumbled to the floor. I'd never seen anything like that before!
Back when I was in my schools all state orchestra we were at a rehearsal and after break I came back and walked past the first cellos chair and immediately stepped directly on her bridge she had laid it down between the chairs, there was a god awful crunch and dead silence. She started crying and I felt horrible about it. That being said I'm pretty sure our teacher told us specifically not to lay our cellos down like that (not that it made it any better).
Had a friend of mine rehersing a base solo on stage sadly the recording got corrupted but in essanse the bridge somehow malfunctioned and all of the strings snapped yes all of the strings on the double base the sounds that base made are still engranded in my memory. As for the bridge it dissapeared and my friend was left with a look on his face ill never forget and everyone else in the auditorium with their ears covred.
TBH that lady running offstage who fell over the harp looked like she was in terrible distress. She was holding her flute, and was running for the exit right in the middle of the performance. She was either drunk or feeling very suddenly sick, give her a break. Actually my heart went out to her.
For real though that was very professional of that kid with the broken chair. Something went wrong and they didn't freak out, they stayed calm. Everything you should do in a performance setting when Something goes wrong.
In middle school we were at an orchestra competition and our conductor’s platform broke. Luckily no one was hurt, and no one stopped…just kept playing and she went right back to conducting.
That boy who couldn’t remember on the piano is relatable because I was doing a piano piece once when I was beginning and I was accompanying my sister who played the cello with me and I couldn’t remember so I stopped. My teacher told me to start again and I messed up again. I quit piano and couldn’t perform violin for years. It was so bad I badly messed up an audition where I was playing a slow piece. I am finally getting over it though and will soon be back to performing. Overall a traumatic experience.
Don't worry, we all mess up, we are humans. If you feel ready to perform again you must know that you can do it and that you don't have to be perfect (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
Been there! If it helps you, probably everyone on the audience was like "ooh let's go girl I know you can do it" and not actually "eh, she's bad". That helped me move past it.
When I compete once, one of the contestant had a full blown memory block she got onto the stage and stay silent even the judges helped her but she just panicked.. I was like *dude... Oof..*
Brett has mentioned at least twice in past videos that he froze in a piano competition at the start of his performance. I personally think it might be why he dropped piano and just focused on violin.
It happens to the best of us. I'm a professional writer, and I just started writing again after five years of not being able to work because of a traumatic experience. What matters is that you worked your way back to it. That takes more courage than any performance.
1:48 this is the triumph scene from Verdi’s Aida. That lady took a note an octave higher up (Eb6), which is a move that basically only Maria Callas has pulled off successfully - in 1951!
7:30 This is exactly the reason why camera flashes are banned at piano recitals and really any classical concert/recital. People don't understand just how distracting it can be, and it can completely throw you off.
The piece the pianist is playing at 5:29 is Beethoven’s “Cuckoo” Sonata (No. 25,) and he’s about a minute and a half through the piece (in the development section.) At 6:14, after the piano slides and he begins again, he starts back at the beginning. So to answer Brett’s question at 6:34 (how far did he go back?), he went all the way back to the beginning.
OUCH, the only thing that gets hurt when i play the guitar is the wall on my left (where i usually sit+play the guitar) and the guitar itself (luckily)
4:20 He might have set up a camera to show that there was no damage during loading. So he won't be liable if something breaks. We do it sometimes when loading particularly expensive loads
7:52 - happened to me once. I just couldn’t continue even though I tried a couple of times to go back a couple of bars and go ahead. In the end I just stood up, shrugged my shoulders and said:”Well, that’s all from me, folks!”, took a bow and smiled. the audience laughed so much at my authenticity 🤣🤣🤓🤷🏻♀️
I know this going to sound cheesy, but I'm thankful for TwoSet. Ever since I discovered them last week, I always have a reason to smile. I had a long day today. Got embarrassed and humiliated in a postgraduate class (which resulted to me having an anxiety attack), and, to top it off, had to deal with my astraphobia for two hours. TwoSet's content (YT videos, Twitter & IG posts, etc.) never fail to cheer me up. It eases my social anxiety disorder and my depression by a lot, so yeah. Sorry for the cheesy message. 🥺 Edit: Thank you so much for the kind words, everyone. This community is so kind, and I'm glad to be a part of it. I'm excited for their virtual tour on December (got everything apart from the M&G)! 😊
It isnt cheesy at all. There are fans admit they aren't admit happy about something, and they watched something funny like Twoset to cure their feeling like how you explain So..... you dont have to feel embarrassed at all
I found their channel the day I got fired from my job, just one video later and I already feeling better. 1 year later and they videos still make me smile 😊
I'm so sorry about what you went through, i hope you're doing better now🥺 Also, that's not cheesy at all, thank you for sharing it. Sending lots of loves and hugs for you
@@Xezlec It might be unusual today, but if you look at historical gravestones, there are enough examples of that. We're just dealing with death differently now.
@@Xezlec Actually, no - the old harps didn't have strong enough wood and tended to break. If you were just playing it, it could have easily killed you, the tension of all the strings is quite immense.
@@Xezlec Idk, when I die I would have the cause of death on my gravestone (if its an unusual cause of death). Something like death by a trampoline (or piano) would really cheer up the ones looking at it 😂.
When I was a kid and had to play piano in front of people/parents, our teacher really tried to practice "stop and go", i.e. she said "stop" somewhere in the piece and we had fixed positions in the piece to immediately restart from. And that really helped a lot when dropping out for whatever reason. So ~ 7:40 could not really happen, simply we trained so much restarting at fixed positions.
I feel for the flutist. She's stumbling even before the tumble. First concert with my new choir I had the coughing fit from hell while on the choir risers behind a full orchestra. I snuck through the choir and down the steps onto the stage while surpressing my cough. On the way from the risers to the stage entrance door I started to lose my vision. I'm pretty sure that door slammed shut behind me and I almost fainted down the steps backstage. They were doing some renovation work so they moved the access ramp with handrails into this area to be able to move the marimba etc. The next thing I remember is gasping for air while hanging onto the opposite side handrails for dear life. I wasn't in a floor length skirt and I'm 100% sure that saved me. That and the random hand rails that weren't supposed to be there.
PSA: If you get into a coughing fit or start chocking, always stay near others. If you fall and hit your head, or worse, fall unconscious while still not being able to breath, you are basically dead if someone doesn’t do something quick. People die when they go into a different room in order to be “polite”. It’s not polite to risk your life, get it out in a room with others.
I've been watching the harp fall on the flutist. It looked to me like the flute player may have been having a medical emergency and needed to get off the stage. She seems to be staggering and putting her hand on various chairs to balance herself so she could get off the stage. She nears the harp and begins to go down, trips on the pedal and everything comes down on her. I feel for the harp but I hope the flutist was OK. It looks to me like a bad situation got much worse. 🤕
Yes I agree, she must have been sick and needed help and compassion not irony. Actually, a professional (or any...) orchestra should have some procedure for cases like this. Should a member need help, someone should quickly react to avoid people or precious instruments getting injured or ruined.
Harpist here - ideally no one would ever touch a harp without getting permission first, but especially no one should use it to steady themselves. If you're not a harpist you don't know where you can lean safely. I'm devastated for that harpist and her harp, but I also hope the lady who tripped is okay. That harp definitely fell on top of her. (The average pedal harp weighs 80 lbs.)
I believe the flautist girl wasn't feeling well and she knew something was wrong. I think she was having a health/medical emergency. Poor girl was stumbling trying to get off stage and she literally fainted. I know harps are expensive. I couldn't cringe but feel concerned about that girl and the poor harp. But hey... that clip is over 9 years old.
@@evanphelps2265 That's what I saw too. In the full clip you can see her jump up from the middle seat and start heading to the side. The conductor can even be seen looking at her like "Where the heck are you going?" She also seemed a bit unsteady as she walked off and grabbed the shoulder of every musician she passed trying to steady herself. I think she knew she was going to faint and probably couldn't even see the harp in her way. When she bumped it, out of pure instinct, she grabbed it and down they both went.
@@jasonsmith9147 EXACTLY 👏🏽. SPOT ON. Also I liked how the conductor noticed something was wrong and stopped the concert and went to go check up on her. There are conductors who don't and try to carry on the performance. I don't care what the orchestra etiquette or protocols are... if someone is having a medical emergency during the concert, immediately stop and get the member proper care. End of my ted talk/rant sorry.
The lady who walked out definitely had some serious health issues, maybe a neurological problem (doctor here). Looked as if she had no control over her body
I actually had a piano roll away from me once during a service at my college’s chapel, which was built with an incline going down to the altar. Thankfully there was a fence which stopped it from going wheeling down the entire aisle lol (I panicked that the heavy grand would break through the small wooden fence but luckily not), but I did have to finish that hymn with my arms waaaaay outstretched, pause awkwardly before the next hymn, and then move my bench forward with a loud reverberating CLUNK before starting the next hymn lol.
I used to play saxophone. The most annoying thing was accidentally knocking the mouthpiece and destroying the reed. It happened so much in a chaotic school band setting. And if you didn’t have a replacement reed (which was always me) you then had a basically unplayable instrument.
Ok, as a parent of 3 yes, babies/toddlers are designed to be supper durable. To me the cry was very unhurt (at least physically) sounding. That alto sax was horrid cringe.
XD I think the thing Eddy said about babies is compared to us, when we know we're in danger we tense up which causes you to become more injured on impact. While babies on the other hand are still developing this so they don't tense up, they stay very loose and flaccid, so if they fall or are dropped, while they are fragile, they won't sustain serious injuries... (? I'm not a professional in anything medical or anything baby related just raised in a house with a mother whose in the medical field.)
I've heard this about drunk people too! Because they're too intoxicated to react and their reflexes are slow, even though they fall down and injure themselves it's not as bad as it would've been if they were sober and they tensed up. Maybe your body absorbs the impact better that way
This reminds me of a documentary about a tornado, apparently a person was dragged along with his house and everything, but before something happened, a flying pan hit his head and made him unconscious so even though at the end he still was yeeted(?) away and had enjuries he lived because he got unconscious, not tensed up. I watched this many years ago, I don't know the veracity of this nor if my mind changed it.
@@nat2057 think of it this way. its easier to snap dry spaghetti. if your muscles are tensed and resisting you can tear them. you will try to keep your body in a certain position and that extra stress can cause more injuries. when you are relaxed things can move freely and there are less stress points in your body where injuries will occur.
I love you guys! You are so cute AND hilarious. My favorite channel now. I grew up in a non-musical house. I have no idea what scales, notes etc are, but now I’m interested in learning.
I love these types of videos where they joke themselves scoring at first but then actually would never really pass the challenge. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT IN THE BEGINNING. Love you.
Oh yeah, editor-san roasting Twoset at every possible occassion is an absolute necessity, no video would be complete without it :) Loved the "cringe begun" at the beginning, lol.
In case someone didn't recognize it, the vocal piece (with piano accompaniment) was the last few dozen bars of the second act of Verdi's opera, Aida. In the fully orchestrated version, the composer CHANGED THE FRIGGING KEY as the chorus (and soloists) hit their final note, at which point the horns blare in to wrap up the act. It's a brilliantly dramatic moment in the opera -- not that you would know that from THIS performance. Verdi is insanely hard on singers in his most dramatic parts, which is why it's not really for amateurs.
3:25 as a harpist, first, it’s really bad because it’s such a delicate instrument, only a single light punch can brake the soundboard. Also, a grand harp is about $20,000 and more.
The cello string busting--it happens. Jacqueline Du Pre had it happen to her as she started the third movement of the Dvorak. She just went backstage, replaced it, tuned up and the third movement restarted. It does happen!
At 7:12 when Bret said “ Invest in new chairs!” I laughed out loud because at our school band we had this stand that would chuck your music back at you if you looked at it wrong and it would make the rounds in every section and idk that comment made me think of that.
5:26 I remember once, it was two days if I remember correctly, two days before the performance day, it was jazz orchestra so, we came for the rehearsal and we were very surprised to see our classical orchestra conductor was there too. (At the time, me and my sister were playing in both jazz and classical) Shortly afterwards, we learned that the supposedly jazz conductor for the performance that had been conducting us for the past few weeks of practice somehow just... disappear(?) So, they had the classical conductor to fill in the spot and it was one of the most awkward jazz practice ever, like... the conductor be very detail about our intonation and stuff. And he conducted us as if he was conducting the classical, except we're playing jazz music. It was so awkward cuz tbh, as classical orchestra player, we joined jazz in secret so none of the other classical player (except those who joined in secretly just like us) and the classical conductor know about it until that day. We felt so exposed, we just feel like ditching the whole rehearsal and performance itself, but we did it anyway. When we came for the next classical practice, it was sooo awkward to see the same conductor that caught us red handed but we just pretend like nothing happen. I wonder what the conductor felt and thought, though.😅😅😂😂
I know lots of musicians who do both "legit" and jazz. My husband is one. Nothing is wrong with that. But jazz groups don't really need a conductor (which is why most big bands were led by actual musicians who generally only "conducted" to start or sometimes stop a piece).
This video just made my whole day better. I just had to submit an audition for an orchestra, and I had to do it all in one take. I was a bit too critical of myself and had lots of frustration getting that one good take. This video reminded me that things could be worse and cringy, and I wasn’t any of those (thankfully). So twoset, thank you for making such amazing content that always manages to brighten my day!!
3:39 The musician who tangled with the harp did not appear to feel well. She looked like she was trying to get off-stage before emptying the contents of her stomach and lurched into the harp.
I think the poor boy on the piano was the most relatable...I went to music conservatory for a while and one year we did a concert focused on Schumann music. All the kids were gathered on stage and performed 3-4 pieces each. The grand piano we were using was brand new, at some point during the concert the right pedal started to squeak very loudly...I was one of the last people to play and my piece required a lot of pedal, so I was in panic mode even before starting lol Then finally my turn came, the first two pieces were fine, but during the third one the pedal started squeaking so loud that my brain glitched and went blank in the middle of a phrase...I just stopped for I think the longest 10 seconds of my life 😂 then I managed to resume somehow and finish, but my God, I was so scared to use the pedal for a very long time after that haha
In the saxophone clip, I'm pretty sure the problem was with his octave key. Something similar happened to me during a performance duet at my school. My friend ran off and I cried in shame :D
Eddy is partially right about babies. They do tend to be more adaptable and less breakable than you may think. They will be fine if they fall from reasonable heights or knock into things. In saying so, please do not attempt to drop your baby on purpose 😅 That toddler in the video didn’t sound like he was badly hurt. As someone who’s primary job experience comes from taking care of large summer camps for kids, kids will cry in very particular ways when they are really hurt. That baby sounded more like he just wanted Dad to get the drum off him and then get him off the floor 😁
Lmfao, as soon as the Shostakovich came on, I said "is his string about to break or is his bow about to break." First time I performed that piece, my bow exploded at that exact measure hahaha.
Oh my goodness, just get a flashback on a concert when I was 12. I was super nervous when I was playing. It was my first piano concert. There was some kind of chords in the piece and I got a blank. The same experience with the guy on piano. I think I panicked on stage like 2 minutes or so.... bad memories. When I got off, I ran crying to my mom. Now I'm almost 22, remembering this almost gives me the urge to cry 😭
Ling Ling Wannabes really have been legatoing the subscribe button - every time I look at Twoset's subscribers, the number has always changed!! CMON YALL EVERY SUBSCRIBER IS A STEP CLOSER TO 4 MILL!! 😆😆😆
6:40 when I was 4, I was performing at a recital and I messed up a note, and then I turned to the crowd and asked if I could start over from the beginning. The crowd laughed
For two people who are as busy as yourselves still has time to give us awesome and quality content, you guys really are one of - if not THE BEST channel there is in every platform. 🥰 Also, I missed your cringe videos. 😁
2:57 OMG THE HARP ok every time I watch ur try not to flinch or cringe or laugh videos I am super calm like I react with a neutral face on the outside but this time I literally screamed I don’t play the harp but my friend does and when she sees this her face is like yours, SACRILEGIOUS
The memory stuff happened yesterday to a pianist in the Chopin Piano Competition, it was really unfortunate, she is a very talented pianist and was playing a very difficult piece. I really feel sorry for her. I feel bad for everyone that this thing happens to.
Ahhh I really felt the guy with the runaway piano- I was doing an important performance and my D string just popped and went completely out of tune… Shortly after that, my E string died as well I had to take the violin down and tune it again It was so scary😅 Respect to all you musicians who have run into issues❤️❤️❤️ And to the rest of you cultured not-musicians too!
you guys now keep me alive because its 11pm and tomorow i have two big tests coming up but no braincells to keep normaly working so im just making flashcards and watching your videos for like a past hour... i love ur content:))) (so calming😀)
When we moved to Germany, our piano we had bought in England needed to be hoisted up to the 4th floor of the apartment building. Because the stairwell was to narrow to carry it that way, it was carried up by a crane from the outside. I don't know how high it feel, but it did fall down quite a bit. Looked pretty abused afterwards, but it worked perfectly well still. Stood in my room until we moved out again xD So, pianos apparently can also be durable like cats and babies.
7:31 Oof, I really felt this one; a similar situation happened to me during a piano recital. My daily piano being a digital piano, it was my first time ever playing on a baby grand so the feeling of the keys felt very different to me.
Drives me crazy that parents keep their children practicing on digital pianos. Even the best ones can’t compare to the feel of a real piano. I knew a high schooler who was playing things like Chopin nocturnes and he still had a digital piano to practice on at home 🤦♀️ They’re also replacing real instruments in many schools and churches, it’s just awful
Twoset! I would like to see your reaction to these videos: 1) the saxophonist who performed the “Give Thanks” Christian song 2) the drum expert in Expertvillage giving a drum lesson 3) Annointing Fall on Me by Voices of Hope Those videos cracked me, and I was wondering your take on any of them lmao
Not even 30s into the video, we heard the word "perfect pitch" again 😂 Now this will be a word we will hear in every one of their videos no matter how far the topic is from "perfect pitch". AND I LOVE IT!
Well if he keeps it up, he may get listed back on Wikipedia... though I think the reason was because he wasn't well known enough. C'mon guys get 'em to 4Mil and he might make it!
I once saw Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock play 'My Way' as a duo at a funeral for a musician. Wayne played intentionally flat and behind the beat, and it sounded beautiful. A master can make it sound right.
1:01 When I was less than a year old, I slipped through the bars of the balcony of my house and fell, we were on the first floor and I didn't break anything. It may be that babies are made so as not to break.
Brett and Eddy when someone drops a baby: damn yikes well it's probably fine, they bounce right?
Brett and Eddy when a violin slips even the tiniest bit: *pure terror*
Yeah, lol, right!
Lol
I mean...babies and people can heal wounds.
Well a violin wont bounce wont it?
They “bounce” lol
the day that eddy doesn't flex his perfect pitch i'm going to be genuinely worried
That will be his retirement
Don't worry, that'll be in about 10 years...
Let's hope that day never comes
Same….
THATS HIS NAME?
We can’t have a twoset video without eddy flexing his perfect pitch
It would just be unheard of
here before this comment blows up to have 1k plus likes
10 seconds in too
I'm not gonna lie I think Brett is slowly developing some form of perfect pitch. I mean it only took him two guesses, and the first wasn't that far off. I've definitely seen worse.
Gotta love it! Haha

I figured she'd go far if she wanted to.
It’s just her Ultra Instinct lmao
Sometimes those cat speed instincts kick in 😂
Football (Soccer) helps more than you think ,American Football too
how did she get into a college orchestra? I guess around here we just join youth symphony if you are good enough 😅
this is her world. we're just living in it

I had one before while playing for a piano exam. It was painful

ok
so the guy at 5:28 was Polish and he said "the piano rode away, it happened for the first time in my life haha" and then he said "well, it was kinda riding away like that from the beggining haha... it's okay" and then "unfortunately, there is no lock" "let's start again"
It's pretty impressive how he handled the situation, im proud hah

Thanks for the translation !
Thank you for your wonderful translation!
@@aliceko4695 @嘉琳 俞 aww no problem guys!
My piano teachers used to make us have "jumping points" throughout a piece. We would memorize the whole song, certainly, but we also practice jumping to the jumping points so if we had a memory lapse, we can just start elsewhere in the piece.
Same. I memorize in sections so I’m able to, like you said, play each section individually on its own
Yeah, me too. I always used to practice those before competitions and recitals
ooh, good idea! I forgot where I was more than once during piano recitals.
I had a memory lapse during a recital and I stopped for a good 5 seconds, but thankfully it was near a repeat so I was able to finish
I feel for the dude at 7:33. I was in a band in high school and one of our first (and only) performances ended awkwardly mid song because someone messed up. But the audience immediately clapped. I am forever thankful for the person who initiated the applause.
Why would the entire orchestra mess up cuz if ONE person? If it was a violin solos it or the conductor that’s understandable but one person?
@@bookwormd8627 He said band, not orchestra.

For anyone who maybe wants to know what this guy with moving piano said. He said: “ The piano moved. It was first time happened… it was moving like that from the beginning. Unfortunately there is no lock in here, but it’s ok.” Then he said something but boys drown out it. And later: “ Let’s do this one more time”

The guy whose cello string snapped was performing on the BBC Young Musician of the Year. He changed the string, started again... and won.
👏👏👏 congrats to him
That's doubly impressive because brand new strings are tight and go out of tune very quickly.
do u know the piece he was playing?. My guess was shostakovich cello concerto no.1. Idk if that’s right tho
@@buttersauce548 Yeah, It was Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No.1 (The musician was Guy Johnston)
@@tonythetyger99 there is a comment from one of his students further up, he kept that string in his wall
1:55 Soprano 1 here. Never do that. That's a good way to kill the vocal range you *do* have. You are contributing. Just don't sing the note, go for a harmony. The audience won't miss it if they aren't critics, and if they are they'll praise the recovery if they're any good.
100% She obviously lost her pitch or key beforehand too. #1 rule, don't squeak something out in duress. Put it in a comfortable place and get through it.
i’m a soprano 2 and that still hurt me
You can see her saying a prayer right before screeching… But I doubt she ever sang that note properly in her life.
I’m a contralto and I could have sung it in a small floating way. I would never have tried to scream it out 😬
maybe you know where I can find the original video to this?
I'm a bass 2, back when i started singing, i would not scream per say, but i would push hard, to obtain range upwards.
In the end I damaged my vocal cords.
Oh man the piano piece at 8:06 - what an awful feeling! I've been there. I feel like it's the musical equivalent to getting "the twisties" in gymnastics where something you've practiced and done perfectly a million times, your brain just randomly loses it for no good reason. Except at least in music it won't physically kill you lol
The poor pianist who forgot his piece I so identify with. I was at a music contest in middle school and I started my piece (I think that year it was the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata) over three times before turning to the judges and asking them to have my mother leave the auditorium. I heard a door open and shut, thought she had left and had no problem from then on. Ah, such good times lol.
Hahahaha SO TRUE, but not aplicable to all parents. The good thing about that is that you'll end up building skills to overcome those slips through time
@@carlosvela5486 True. I should probably also confess that at the time my mother was also my piano teacher. Now, some 44 years later, I would encourage everyone to perform for an audience or judges at some point because the poise under pressure it helps you develop is worth it.
This honestly gives me Your Lie in April vibes
@@medhaphor7521 I was thinking the exact same
Yeah, I felt his pain too. This happened to me in a piano exam. High stress levels just make me blank out and you are not allowed to have sheet music as a pianist in the exams, even as a backup. It's a really horrible feeling. Then you get stressed out even more, so even if you do start over, or from a phrase, you're too self-conscious about that part now and very likely to stumble again.
8:35 is a clip of my professor, Guy Johnston! He says this memory is one of his favourites as it was so surreal. He's got that A string that snapped pinned on the wall in his studio!
Legend
man as he should that’s fuckin amazing
Guy looks amazing when playing damn lol
His performance is so passionate♡
What a legend! That’s so cool tho
I feel for the guy who forgot how to play his piece mid way through on the piano. I used to be like that when I was a kid. If I made a mistake I had to stop and fix it before I could move on. That held me back SO much as a musician. I always tell kids the most important thing they can do when learning piano is to just go ham and play any and all notes and get over the "there is only one right way to play" mentality. If you can get over the fear of playing wrong, then all of a sudden mistakes don't feel so bad and it becomes easier to recover and just keep playing.
Oh shit, I had the exact same thing. Couldn't for the life of me go over a mistake
P.s., learn how to improvise and 90% of the time, the audience will never know. lol.
I had this exact thing happen. I just full skipped a page and just played the end like well
that's pretty good advice man, I'm currently going through that myself so thanks
I had an experience where I started playing a piece an octave too high (I was really nervous for some reason), but I was going to continue going and fix it once the next section hit, but my freaking teacher stopped me in front of everybody and told me I was an octave too high. I've struggled to recover from making mistakes ever since lol
The snapping cello string triggered a memory of something I haven't thought about in decades. I was trying to choose between two cellos. My teacher was playing one while I had the other (I think). He rested it on the chair to go get something. All of a sudden it exploded into pieces and scared me out of my mind! I guess tension was too great somewhere and it crumbled to the floor. I'd never seen anything like that before!
Back when I was in my schools all state orchestra we were at a rehearsal and after break I came back and walked past the first cellos chair and immediately stepped directly on her bridge she had laid it down between the chairs, there was a god awful crunch and dead silence. She started crying and I felt horrible about it. That being said I'm pretty sure our teacher told us specifically not to lay our cellos down like that (not that it made it any better).
I hope you chose the other one
Had a friend of mine rehersing a base solo on stage sadly the recording got corrupted but in essanse the bridge somehow malfunctioned and all of the strings snapped yes all of the strings on the double base the sounds that base made are still engranded in my memory. As for the bridge it dissapeared and my friend was left with a look on his face ill never forget and everyone else in the auditorium with their ears covred.
TBH that lady running offstage who fell over the harp looked like she was in terrible distress. She was holding her flute, and was running for the exit right in the middle of the performance. She was either drunk or feeling very suddenly sick, give her a break. Actually my heart went out to her.
For real though that was very professional of that kid with the broken chair. Something went wrong and they didn't freak out, they stayed calm. Everything you should do in a performance setting when Something goes wrong.
In middle school we were at an orchestra competition and our conductor’s platform broke. Luckily no one was hurt, and no one stopped…just kept playing and she went right back to conducting.
Bet that kids freaked out when he got home lol.
oof that piano memory slip and descent into despair was so relatable the cringe almost turned into tears for me 😭
I never even played the piano but damn I related to this guy. Poor guy at least the audience took it well.
No its just sadness
That boy who couldn’t remember on the piano is relatable because I was doing a piano piece once when I was beginning and I was accompanying my sister who played the cello with me and I couldn’t remember so I stopped. My teacher told me to start again and I messed up again. I quit piano and couldn’t perform violin for years. It was so bad I badly messed up an audition where I was playing a slow piece. I am finally getting over it though and will soon be back to performing. Overall a traumatic experience.
Don't worry, we all mess up, we are humans. If you feel ready to perform again you must know that you can do it and that you don't have to be perfect (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
Been there! If it helps you, probably everyone on the audience was like "ooh let's go girl I know you can do it" and not actually "eh, she's bad". That helped me move past it.
When I compete once, one of the contestant had a full blown memory block she got onto the stage and stay silent even the judges helped her but she just panicked.. I was like *dude... Oof..*
Brett has mentioned at least twice in past videos that he froze in a piano competition at the start of his performance. I personally think it might be why he dropped piano and just focused on violin.
It happens to the best of us. I'm a professional writer, and I just started writing again after five years of not being able to work because of a traumatic experience. What matters is that you worked your way back to it. That takes more courage than any performance.
1:48 this is the triumph scene from Verdi’s Aida. That lady took a note an octave higher up (Eb6), which is a move that basically only Maria Callas has pulled off successfully - in 1951!
7:30
This is exactly the reason why camera flashes are banned at piano recitals and really any classical concert/recital. People don't understand just how distracting it can be, and it can completely throw you off.
Heck that one person in the audience at my senior band performance. They were taking so many dang photos. All. With. Flash

The piece the pianist is playing at 5:29 is Beethoven’s “Cuckoo” Sonata (No. 25,) and he’s about a minute and a half through the piece (in the development section.) At 6:14, after the piano slides and he begins again, he starts back at the beginning. So to answer Brett’s question at 6:34 (how far did he go back?), he went all the way back to the beginning.
Yep.
Good.
the piece is called "Presto alla Tedesca" also.
I’ve got to say, as a guitarist, that sibling scene is a little bit too relatable. I whack people’s eyes (and my own) a wee bit too much.
OUCH, the only thing that gets hurt when i play the guitar is the wall on my left (where i usually sit+play the guitar) and the guitar itself (luckily)
I wack my case a little too much with my viola lmao
4:20 He might have set up a camera to show that there was no damage during loading. So he won't be liable if something breaks. We do it sometimes when loading particularly expensive loads
7:52 - happened to me once. I just couldn’t continue even though I tried a couple of times to go back a couple of bars and go ahead.

2:44 Death by a harp would be a really unique thing to put on a gravestone.
Cause of death in general would be a pretty weird thing to put on a gravestone.
@@Xezlec It might be unusual today, but if you look at historical gravestones, there are enough examples of that. We're just dealing with death differently now.
And for the harp's tombstone, it would be: Death By Falling Human
@@Xezlec Actually, no - the old harps didn't have strong enough wood and tended to break. If you were just playing it, it could have easily killed you, the tension of all the strings is quite immense.
@@Xezlec Idk, when I die I would have the cause of death on my gravestone (if its an unusual cause of death). Something like death by a trampoline (or piano) would really cheer up the ones looking at it 😂.
When I was a kid and had to play piano in front of people/parents, our teacher really tried to practice "stop and go", i.e. she said "stop" somewhere in the piece and we had fixed positions in the piece to immediately restart from. And that really helped a lot when dropping out for whatever reason. So ~ 7:40 could not really happen, simply we trained so much restarting at fixed positions.
I feel for the flutist. She's stumbling even before the tumble. First concert with my new choir I had the coughing fit from hell while on the choir risers behind a full orchestra. I snuck through the choir and down the steps onto the stage while surpressing my cough. On the way from the risers to the stage entrance door I started to lose my vision. I'm pretty sure that door slammed shut behind me and I almost fainted down the steps backstage. They were doing some renovation work so they moved the access ramp with handrails into this area to be able to move the marimba etc. The next thing I remember is gasping for air while hanging onto the opposite side handrails for dear life. I wasn't in a floor length skirt and I'm 100% sure that saved me. That and the random hand rails that weren't supposed to be there.
PSA: If you get into a coughing fit or start chocking, always stay near others. If you fall and hit your head, or worse, fall unconscious while still not being able to breath, you are basically dead if someone doesn’t do something quick. People die when they go into a different room in order to be “polite”. It’s not polite to risk your life, get it out in a room with others.
Nobody:
Brett right at the beginning of the video: *Water seal intensifies*
I've been watching the harp fall on the flutist. It looked to me like the flute player may have been having a medical emergency and needed to get off the stage. She seems to be staggering and putting her hand on various chairs to balance herself so she could get off the stage. She nears the harp and begins to go down, trips on the pedal and everything comes down on her. I feel for the harp but I hope the flutist was OK. It looks to me like a bad situation got much worse. 🤕
I agree! I was waiting for the cringe moment for her to be puking on someone.
I agree she was obviously sick
The worst part is the STRINGS fell on her, not the frame. If one of those things decide to snap… you’re leaving that place with nastyyyy scars
Yes I agree, she must have been sick and needed help and compassion not irony. Actually, a professional (or any...) orchestra should have some procedure for cases like this. Should a member need help, someone should quickly react to avoid people or precious instruments getting injured or ruined.
Harpist here - ideally no one would ever touch a harp without getting permission first, but especially no one should use it to steady themselves. If you're not a harpist you don't know where you can lean safely. I'm devastated for that harpist and her harp, but I also hope the lady who tripped is okay. That harp definitely fell on top of her. (The average pedal harp weighs 80 lbs.)
I believe the flautist girl wasn't feeling well and she knew something was wrong. I think she was having a health/medical emergency. Poor girl was stumbling trying to get off stage and she literally fainted. I know harps are expensive. I couldn't cringe but feel concerned about that girl and the poor harp. But hey... that clip is over 9 years old.
@@evanphelps2265 That's what I saw too. In the full clip you can see her jump up from the middle seat and start heading to the side. The conductor can even be seen looking at her like "Where the heck are you going?" She also seemed a bit unsteady as she walked off and grabbed the shoulder of every musician she passed trying to steady herself. I think she knew she was going to faint and probably couldn't even see the harp in her way. When she bumped it, out of pure instinct, she grabbed it and down they both went.
@@jasonsmith9147 Imagine, diarrhea strikes and you try to run, just to be stopped by harp falling on you.
@@jasonsmith9147 EXACTLY 👏🏽. SPOT ON. Also I liked how the conductor noticed something was wrong and stopped the concert and went to go check up on her. There are conductors who don't and try to carry on the performance. I don't care what the orchestra etiquette or protocols are... if someone is having a medical emergency during the concert, immediately stop and get the member proper care. End of my ted talk/rant sorry.
The lady who walked out definitely had some serious health issues, maybe a neurological problem (doctor here). Looked as if she had no control over her body
I actually had a piano roll away from me once during a service at my college’s chapel, which was built with an incline going down to the altar. Thankfully there was a fence which stopped it from going wheeling down the entire aisle lol (I panicked that the heavy grand would break through the small wooden fence but luckily not), but I did have to finish that hymn with my arms waaaaay outstretched, pause awkwardly before the next hymn, and then move my bench forward with a loud reverberating CLUNK before starting the next hymn lol.
It happened to me at my masters recital.
Hopefully they fixed that - by putting wheels on the piano bench! 😂
I used to play saxophone. The most annoying thing was accidentally knocking the mouthpiece and destroying the reed. It happened so much in a chaotic school band setting. And if you didn’t have a replacement reed (which was always me) you then had a basically unplayable instrument.
oh my god once someone sat on my reed right before our concert and i didn't have time to get another one lol (clarinetist)
it somehow still played lol
Ok, as a parent of 3 yes, babies/toddlers are designed to be supper durable. To me the cry was very unhurt (at least physically) sounding. That alto sax was horrid cringe.

@@ritawing1064 😂😂
XD I think the thing Eddy said about babies is compared to us, when we know we're in danger we tense up which causes you to become more injured on impact. While babies on the other hand are still developing this so they don't tense up, they stay very loose and flaccid, so if they fall or are dropped, while they are fragile, they won't sustain serious injuries... (? I'm not a professional in anything medical or anything baby related just raised in a house with a mother whose in the medical field.)
Applies to RTA's as well. The driver can see what's gonna happen and tenses up. The baby in the baby seat would be oblivious...
yeah, but the problem is that babies are stupid and try to kill themselves any chance they get
I've heard this about drunk people too! Because they're too intoxicated to react and their reflexes are slow, even though they fall down and injure themselves it's not as bad as it would've been if they were sober and they tensed up. Maybe your body absorbs the impact better that way
This reminds me of a documentary about a tornado, apparently a person was dragged along with his house and everything, but before something happened, a flying pan hit his head and made him unconscious so even though at the end he still was yeeted(?) away and had enjuries he lived because he got unconscious, not tensed up.
I watched this many years ago, I don't know the veracity of this nor if my mind changed it.
@@nat2057 think of it this way. its easier to snap dry spaghetti. if your muscles are tensed and resisting you can tear them. you will try to keep your body in a certain position and that extra stress can cause more injuries. when you are relaxed things can move freely and there are less stress points in your body where injuries will occur.
Eddy's views on babies are ✨INTERESTING ✨

Oh yeah, editor-san roasting Twoset at every possible occassion is an absolute necessity, no video would be complete without it :) Loved the "cringe begun" at the beginning, lol.
In case someone didn't recognize it, the vocal piece (with piano accompaniment) was the last few dozen bars of the second act of Verdi's opera, Aida. In the fully orchestrated version, the composer CHANGED THE FRIGGING KEY as the chorus (and soloists) hit their final note, at which point the horns blare in to wrap up the act. It's a brilliantly dramatic moment in the opera -- not that you would know that from THIS performance. Verdi is insanely hard on singers in his most dramatic parts, which is why it's not really for amateurs.
3:25 as a harpist, first, it’s really bad because it’s such a delicate instrument, only a single light punch can brake the soundboard. Also, a grand harp is about $20,000 and more.
3:30 as a harpist of 13 years myself, I can confirm that did in fact cause physical pain to watch

The cello string busting--it happens. Jacqueline Du Pre had it happen to her as she started the third movement of the Dvorak. She just went backstage, replaced it, tuned up and the third movement restarted. It does happen!
That was exactly the incident came to my mind as well! It does happen with cello strings, just not as often as with violin strings.
I thought of the same thing! And she was so classy about it, just asked the audience for a minute to go change her strings. Absolute queen
At 7:12 when Bret said “ Invest in new chairs!” I laughed out loud because at our school band we had this stand that would chuck your music back at you if you looked at it wrong and it would make the rounds in every section and idk that comment made me think of that.
8:05 It wasn’t a camera flash; it was that memory-erase device from “Men in Black.”
"Babies are designed to be dropped." - Eddie.
5:26 I remember once, it was two days if I remember correctly, two days before the performance day, it was jazz orchestra so, we came for the rehearsal and we were very surprised to see our classical orchestra conductor was there too. (At the time, me and my sister were playing in both jazz and classical) Shortly afterwards, we learned that the supposedly jazz conductor for the performance that had been conducting us for the past few weeks of practice somehow just... disappear(?) So, they had the classical conductor to fill in the spot and it was one of the most awkward jazz practice ever, like... the conductor be very detail about our intonation and stuff. And he conducted us as if he was conducting the classical, except we're playing jazz music. It was so awkward cuz tbh, as classical orchestra player, we joined jazz in secret so none of the other classical player (except those who joined in secretly just like us) and the classical conductor know about it until that day. We felt so exposed, we just feel like ditching the whole rehearsal and performance itself, but we did it anyway. When we came for the next classical practice, it was sooo awkward to see the same conductor that caught us red handed but we just pretend like nothing happen. I wonder what the conductor felt and thought, though.😅😅😂😂
What's wrong with doing both?
I know lots of musicians who do both "legit" and jazz. My husband is one. Nothing is wrong with that. But jazz groups don't really need a conductor (which is why most big bands were led by actual musicians who generally only "conducted" to start or sometimes stop a piece).
Any good conductor would respect your desire to do both, if you play in the appropriate way for each group then there shouldn't be a problem
JUST 18 SECONDS AND EDDY IS ALREADY FLEXING HIS PERFECT PITCH.
This video just made my whole day better. I just had to submit an audition for an orchestra, and I had to do it all in one take. I was a bit too critical of myself and had lots of frustration getting that one good take. This video reminded me that things could be worse and cringy, and I wasn’t any of those (thankfully). So twoset, thank you for making such amazing content that always manages to brighten my day!!
3:39 The musician who tangled with the harp did not appear to feel well. She looked like she was trying to get off-stage before emptying the contents of her stomach and lurched into the harp.
I think the poor boy on the piano was the most relatable...I went to music conservatory for a while and one year we did a concert focused on Schumann music. All the kids were gathered on stage and performed 3-4 pieces each. The grand piano we were using was brand new, at some point during the concert the right pedal started to squeak very loudly...I was one of the last people to play and my piece required a lot of pedal, so I was in panic mode even before starting lol
Then finally my turn came, the first two pieces were fine, but during the third one the pedal started squeaking so loud that my brain glitched and went blank in the middle of a phrase...I just stopped for I think the longest 10 seconds of my life 😂 then I managed to resume somehow and finish, but my God, I was so scared to use the pedal for a very long time after that haha

Eddy is partially right about babies. They do tend to be more adaptable and less breakable than you may think. They will be fine if they fall from reasonable heights or knock into things. In saying so, please do not attempt to drop your baby on purpose 😅 That toddler in the video didn’t sound like he was badly hurt. As someone who’s primary job experience comes from taking care of large summer camps for kids, kids will cry in very particular ways when they are really hurt. That baby sounded more like he just wanted Dad to get the drum off him and then get him off the floor 😁
Lmfao, as soon as the Shostakovich came on, I said "is his string about to break or is his bow about to break." First time I performed that piece, my bow exploded at that exact measure hahaha.

Oh my goodness, just get a flashback on a concert when I was 12. I was super nervous when I was playing. It was my first piano concert. There was some kind of chords in the piece and I got a blank. The same experience with the guy on piano. I think I panicked on stage like 2 minutes or so.... bad memories. When I got off, I ran crying to my mom.

Has the 4 mil concerto already been selected? I so wish for the Karłowicz's concerto, even though I know it's a hardly realistic option...
@@paunitka7 yes, there was a poll between bruch mendelssohn saint saens and lalo. Medelssohn won
This was great! I needed it today! Wondering if that very first chorus performance was suppose to be comedic? Hilarious!
6:40 when I was 4, I was performing at a recital and I messed up a note, and then I turned to the crowd and asked if I could start over from the beginning. The crowd laughed
Twoset as parents:
Kid, literally in the floor, probably dead: …
Twoset: well that escalated
Shouldn't laugh. Couldn't help it.
For two people who are as busy as yourselves still has time to give us awesome and quality content, you guys really are one of - if not THE BEST channel there is in every platform. 🥰 Also, I missed your cringe videos. 😁
Brett is developing perfect pitch 👀
2:57 OMG THE HARP
ok every time I watch ur try not to flinch or cringe or laugh videos I am super calm like I react with a neutral face on the outside but this time I literally screamed
I don’t play the harp but my friend does and when she sees this her face is like yours, SACRILEGIOUS
5:27 kinda fitting that the sliding starts when entering a legato phrase
Finally, reviving old series!
The memory stuff happened yesterday to a pianist in the Chopin Piano Competition, it was really unfortunate, she is a very talented pianist and was playing a very difficult piece. I really feel sorry for her. I feel bad for everyone that this thing happens to.
The pianist at 6:15 said that there's no brake on the wheel. And that it's been moving away from him a bit from the beginning of the concert 😅
Ahhh I really felt the guy with the runaway piano-
I was doing an important performance and my D string just popped and went completely out of tune…
Shortly after that, my E string died as well
I had to take the violin down and tune it again
It was so scary😅
Respect to all you musicians who have run into issues❤️❤️❤️
And to the rest of you cultured not-musicians too!
you guys now keep me alive because its 11pm and tomorow i have two big tests coming up but no braincells to keep normaly working so im just making flashcards and watching your videos for like a past hour... i love ur content:))) (so calming😀)
When we moved to Germany, our piano we had bought in England needed to be hoisted up to the 4th floor of the apartment building. Because the stairwell was to narrow to carry it that way, it was carried up by a crane from the outside.
I don't know how high it feel, but it did fall down quite a bit.
Looked pretty abused afterwards, but it worked perfectly well still. Stood in my room until we moved out again xD
So, pianos apparently can also be durable like cats and babies.
7:31 Oof, I really felt this one; a similar situation happened to me during a piano recital. My daily piano being a digital piano, it was my first time ever playing on a baby grand so the feeling of the keys felt very different to me.
Once had a similar problem when the piano I was supposed to play had blue keys. Completely distracted me and cancelled my memories...
Drives me crazy that parents keep their children practicing on digital pianos. Even the best ones can’t compare to the feel of a real piano. I knew a high schooler who was playing things like Chopin nocturnes and he still had a digital piano to practice on at home 🤦♀️
They’re also replacing real instruments in many schools and churches, it’s just awful
@@heatherduke7703 Remember not everyone can afford a real piano, both financially and space-wise.
I like how eddy is saying it isnt his words while 50% of the comments are quoting him
I thought the same thing lol
Ikr
5:00 Not to be rude, but I have a door with more talent.
Damn dude ,you just... roasted him
Twoset! I would like to see your reaction to these videos:
1) the saxophonist who performed the “Give Thanks” Christian song
2) the drum expert in Expertvillage giving a drum lesson
3) Annointing Fall on Me by Voices of Hope
Those videos cracked me, and I was wondering your take on any of them lmao
I like how Eddie and Brett expand on their content and do more of other things. My favourite is among us with all the different instruments
Not even 30s into the video, we heard the word "perfect pitch" again 😂 Now this will be a word we will hear in every one of their videos no matter how far the topic is from "perfect pitch". AND I LOVE IT!
Well if he keeps it up, he may get listed back on Wikipedia... though I think the reason was because he wasn't well known enough. C'mon guys get 'em to 4Mil and he might make it!
And after Eddie's cabinet accident, he gained perfect pitch.
I once saw Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock play 'My Way' as a duo at a funeral for a musician. Wayne played intentionally flat and behind the beat, and it sounded beautiful. A master can make it sound right.
4:25 I am guessing the camera is to show no damage if everything goes well. Insurance purposes if things go badly.
*"Babies are designed to be drop"*
-Eddy
What a true.
*Eddy's friends
6:30 That's the cuckoo sonata (beets 25, absolutely beautiful piece). He went all the way from the beginning
5:23 Fun Fact: L. Ron Hubbard made a Scientology jazz album. He also charged the musicians for every wrong note played.
1:01
When I was less than a year old, I slipped through the bars of the balcony of my house and fell, we were on the first floor and I didn't break anything. It may be that babies are made so as not to break.
5:21 “Its jazz, it doesn’t matter”
He was playing _My way - Frank Sinatra,_ they thought it was bad jazz.
_My Way_ is by Jacques Revaux and Paul Anka (lyrics). Frank Sinatra made it popular.
