      C Olsen well, his tone was amazing throughout but of course he started missing notes. (Duh playing double speed) and no musicality whatsoever, there is a good reason tempo indications exist, lol! Excellent Lindsey Sterling Shosta though, oh yeah and Paganini "I haven't played this in a while" *proceeds to play the passage perfectly*

    I'm losing all my violin cred...I totally didn't know Ray is Australian. It's really awesome though seeing a totally dedicated touring virtuoso soloist (no offence of course to Eddie and Brett they are fantastic violinists) but seeing this...(damn, poor Ray!!) It's just too funny. Also, ❤️2set for promoting classical music. Keep up the good work.
    One more thing, Eddie, you should occasionally give a shout out to your old channel as you are an extremely gifted violin teacher for someone so young, and many of your violinist fans would benefit from some of your (real) long form teaching vids!!! Good job guys!

    The more i see Ray with twoset, the more it feels like he should be the third member. Hes got the energy, the humor, the excitement for the violin, the love of the music and hes constantly outreaching to his fans worldwide. We may never see another Ray Chen in this life, guys. Give him an honorary chair with two set. I can also set up an online petition if that helps :)

    Ray seems like such a grounded, straight up nice guy! There is this old fusty stigma surrounding solo violinists that they are arrogant and very self absorbed, as part of both the supposed culture of classical orchestra/string sections and part of the individuality that comes with practicing half your life for solo performances in densely populated orchestras. And Ray really breaks that poorly aged stigma clean in half.
    And the same goes with every soloist that I've seen on TwoSet as well.
    Maybe it is in general?
    That TwoSet are absolutely great at grinding away the notion of that arrogance stigma in all of classical music and orchestra settings. All work, no play. The overly serious idea about music being right or wrong or carry more weight and stuff like that.
    Here I just feel like these guys just love classical music, and take the mick out of themselves and others with ling ling workouts and just talking about what they love.
    It's just such a great bridge for us "plebs" that like classical music, I feel welcome with TwoSet. (And Ray too)
    So thanks!

    You can tell Ray has a really competitive personality.
    I guess if he had more time, he'd just practice until he aced those challenges. Just not getting it on point seems to bug him so much, I can see how he got up to this level.
