“there’s violin hickeys... that’s some main character sh*t...” -Twoset

Wow
TrUe!!!!!!!!!
SHEET MUSIC
💀💀💀
They know their violin scars
It’s ok Eddy, with that haircut you can still join the junior division the next time!
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHSHA
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
YOU DIDNT-
LMAO
GET HIS ASS
The real reason why Eddy lost his hair:
*Pulling them off while watching prodigies destroying his self-esteem*
Hahah good one
Very true hahahaha
like the psychiatrist in animaniacs
Lmoa

bold of you to assume I had self esteem in the first place
*hide under my blanket, crying
Same just same 😂😭

“it’s a weird mix of inspiration and depression”
~ the truest words on earth, twoset 2021
... when I pick up my guitar with the camera on...
Sooo true af
Lol
@Hamza Mzali shut up won’t you? Stop spamming comments trying to use two set to promote yourself get a life
😞
Any musician watching a prodigy: why I can’t play like that? Why I wanted to be a musician at all? Why do I exist?? 😣
Twoset: looool we suck 😆
LOL yeahhh
@Hamza Mzali shut
Honestly feels like they felt the 1st one too many times until they reached the point where they just laugh at themselves
I mad it 699 likes
THATS WHAT I THINK WHEN I WATCH PRODIGIES AND ITS FUNNY BECAUSE IM STILL A TEEN COMPETING AND CONCERTS AND ORCHESTRAS BUT LIKE WATCHING THESE TALENTED HUMANS MAKES ME LOSE MY NON EXISTENT SELF ESTEEM ITS KINDA FUNNY NGL
All jokes aside, I don’t think they realise how good they are.
No violinist realises how good they are, it’s kind of depressing haha
Ikr too much talent my self esteem can’t handle it
Well, they probably know that they're among the top 5-10% of violinists worldwide (just a wild guess), but they are looking at top 0.1% talent. And they probably know this. Nothing wrong with being realistic, knowing that you're good but that others are better.
Faxxx ngl
Conversely, I think it’s because they realize exactly how good they are that they can be genuinely humble.
“We failed the violin competition”
*plays violin really well*
plot twist: they oiled their bow
LOL u just edited
@@Remy____ yep, my grammar is awful lol
that’s alright my guy,PRACTICE
lol
Eddy Before Sibelius Playing: *_You dare challenge me?!?_*
Eddy After Sibelius Playing: I go practice now..
Twoset likes to joke around that they suck and “demonstrate” it by playing, but keep in mind that musicians they react to have been practicing their piece for MONTHS, whereas Twoset would play the same piece without practice. With 20+ years of experience, and having played in orchestras (and even been concert masters), it’s impossible for them to suck. They may not be as good as soloists, but they’re far from bad. It always disheartens me when I see comments on their serious playing videos like “I forgot they could actually play.” Even when they joke around, how isn’t it obvious they’re very skilled in the craft?
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk.
There's a difference between knowing intellectually that they're good, and the visceral reaction of "oh, they're Good!" People had the same reaction with Victor Borge.
The fact that watching the soloists they technically understand what's hard and what's not, and what is especially outstanding, is a significant sign of their level of craft.
thank you, that's exactly what I feel like.
I loooove how humble they are
only idiots think humbleness was lack of talent and skill
yes and no.they good but not like they hilary hann or some other people they called thier show.they good musician but they werent rop of thier field anytime
maybe win or get ranked small compation but i dont think they really win big ones.
they famous becouse of their channel.not becouse of they best at around.
if y look up hailries vidoes with them.she can pull out lot of think becouse of she is whole diffrent lvl.
been ok or good diffrent then best of bests
and they didnt claim they know what they are.they happy they goofing off and jokes but moslty its truth
and nothing wrong of it.like sport micheal jordan was superstar lot of mvp all star burt same era goundreds and thosands people played at nba wasnt all superstar or star starus lot of them respected good player some are bellow avaerage elemnited cant find time to play or retire early.lot of people respecfully played valued players
when hilary play probably she lend on 15-25m volin while regular string sets were using 100-500k worth good ones
even better musician or much better carier owned musican can be impressed or amazed by some perfomans others .
@@kazokazo172 no lol they aren't Obviously on the level of Hilary but they are definitely one the elite violinists. Their expertise and command over their instrument has been shown time and time again
Brett and Eddy's playing is a 10/10
*But these prodigies are a 40/24*
Can it be 69/40 ?
I'm sorry. I'll take my leave here
Where did you get that duck/chick in your pfp? I want one o.o

@Hamza Mzali why are you putting this on all the comment threads?
The fact they are using their channel to promote the competition itself is amazing and spreading awareness in such a fun way that everyone ‘musicians and non-musicians’ are enjoying and appreciating the competition as it should. I love that they realise how big their platform and influential it is that they are making everyone enjoying this.
Absolutely Rimaz
@Hamza Mzali stop spamming!
@Hamza Mzali shut up....
@@violinfanatickamraz1403 no
Eddy gets a new haircut:
All the comments: "You look 10 years younger..."
yeah ik lol, but he still looks really nice! but different (in a good way)
Btw eddy looks 10 years younger
@Hamza Mzali no
@Hamza Mzali please stop
editor-san: _the sound of my soul leaving my body_
me too editor-san, me too
mmhm, yep, yep.
Mmhmm
mhmm in agreement
Mhhhmmhhmmm
When the sheer fact that Twoset can at least attempt to copy the phrases of Menuhin finalists already shows that they are still on a high level...
@Hamza Mzali for the love of God stop
@Hamza Mzali Nice!
@@venkatesan6547 No! not nice. Don't encourage it!
I love how both of them just casually played complicated phrases by ear.
@@hueguy I think they played most of the pieces before
You still have perfect pitch eddy, it’s ok.
Some of them prb did too💀
@@kahcunanan he used to be...rip

Who here's so proud of how far twoset has come being the first interviewers in menuhin
Twoset: demonstrates how difficult the contestants techniques are
Me: appreciates the contestants skills even more
But also, your self esteem should go through the roof for leading the way in bringing classical music closer to everyone and having your work be recognized by none other than the Menuhin Competition!I was genuinely so excited for the future of classical music when I saw you guys colaborating with them :)
1:16 Boha Moon
5:09 Hannah Tam
9:01 Edward Walton
11:11 Keila Wakao
13:39 Kento Hong
no wonder Keila won! She got the lucky time numbers (also because she has amazing talent)
its natural to have your self esteem crushed, but remember to practice to achieve your dreams! (either youre a musician or not, i swear, practice is the key)
🥰
It's true.
*proceeds to practice binge watching twoset
i was just practicing when i saw this. still practicing! im an artist btw haha
Aww thx for de words
The fact that they had the confidence to enter a competition is already amazing, I never do that, it’s so scary
@@pasoan2439 You should be proud that you are still playing. Many people would just quit. You're absolutely right that music should be the focus, not competition. Some players are good at competition and some aren't. That doesn't mean those who aren't good at competitions are somehow "less than" those who are. They're just different.
.... it was a joke, the competition is for violinists under 22
I can't help but think about how teachers are in some ways the ones who "create" prodigies. I'd love to know more about prodigies teachers methods actually. I have the feeling they tackle teaching violin a different way as our usual conservatory teachers. Hats off to the prodigies for sure, you do need talent and dedication at a young age, but what if the results are mostly on the teachers ? It would be so great to get in touch with one of those teachers one day. Weren't Ray and Hilary children prodigies themselves ? Brett and Eddy, my hopes are on you to investigate 😎.
It has to be a combination of the student's and the teacher's ability. If either were lacking, they wouldn't be able to succeed on this level. I'm sure that combination is quite rare
just a personal story but my cousin is actually a prodigy. I remembered just came to his house one day not knowing anything and he just play a whole classical piece on piano in front of me when he is like 5-6, 7 years old? He played so well that at first I thought it's a prank, something must have been record the piece and play it back. His parent said he saw this stuff on youtube and became obsessed with the piano and has been watching tutorial online on his own and that's that. So back to your question, no doubt they need good teacher to enter and win competition like Menuhin or become pro, but because I witnessed a prodigy myself I can't stop myself thinking that some kids are just really something. Probably there are no teacher with special skill that turn kids to prodigy, but simply good teacher that teach prodigy.
Mozart's dad set out basically to prove this exact idea. I'd say he was successful, but somehow most people don't even know that was the point so... maybe not a success?
They have the Suzuki method where they start them off really young but it's really down to how dedicated the child is
My theory turns more to individual practice (though the teacher might help a lot in knowing how to practice and in motivating the student). As a psych major I did a project comparing my childhood experience training in piano with my friend's (now professional violinist) experience training in violin. We starting the same year at the same place, but the outcome was extremely different and I found that *how* we practiced (not even the amount of time, because at some point I practiced twice as more as she did!) had a lot to do with it. Of course, the teacher needs to be encouraging. And of course background, like having a musician in the family helps too, because you can actually see what efficient practice is like!
Brett : good bye self esteem
Me: I’m am 100% Chloe Sifu will be in this video
As a student of one of Edward's teachers, I feel your pain.
I’m sorry, “one of”?!? HE HAS MULTIPLE??????
When you are so early your tears havent dried yet
Lmao
Lmao * wipes her tears from the sleeve paw* 🥲💜🖐️
I feel like it's easy to take for granted how insane it is for these CHILDREN to be as talented as they are. Basically every one of the contestants is more talented than many adult professionals and yet they are so young. They have dedicated their entire lives up to this point to playing their instrument for the rest of us to enjoy.
I feel like that's what people don't realize about child prodigies, they've been fine-tuning (hah) their art at the cost of a "normal" childhood. They've focused on doing *one thing* for a decade.
Personally not sure how to feel about it, I spent my childhood trekking around canyons looking for lizards and rough-housing with friends. Plus, developed a diverse skill set in the meantime. If these kids just happen to not make it as musicians, they're screwed.
It's okay eddy and brett, you two can still join next next year
(yes they are young enough)
underrated comment 😂
twoset SAYS their self esteem is crushed to make us forget: we are seeing juniors play well after months of practice during lockdown. Meanwhile two set is sight shredding and still getting a decent sound on first try
Like come on! Brett (vs eddy) sight shredding @8:30
with one except: eddy refusing/ relinquishing sibelius (a piece he did practice for months)
I keep thinking about how unfair it is to ourselves to compare our practice to someone else’s perfected version!!!
Absolutely. A lot of these prodigies practice these pieces for years! And comparing the first sight-read to those years of practicing that one piece is not really fair lol
8:37 BRETT YOU ARE ACTUALLY ON FIRE DON'T YOU REALIZE!!!!!! THAT'S AMAZING!!!!!
these people: *high class musicians at their teens*
me: *guessing a basic note and getting it wrong*
thanks, i'd just stick into arts
Petition to hear Brett's full Ysaye!!
And everyone, let's hold our hands and be inspired and cry together. ;>
When they failed the violin competition with their level of skills and say THEIR SELF ESTEEM was crushed the audacity think of how crushed the self esteem of all us below you two feel XD
Editor-san plz stop killing us with your captions. I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe. 😂😂😂
@@technologicallychallenged6583 I meant the one in the video like the one at 5:33
Brett at 8:44 just casually looking into the camera and smiling while Eddy looks on in astonishment like "Yeah, I told you I've been practicing". Get some sunglasses on that thug lyfe moment. XD
pretty funny when eddy says "brett go" for the mendelssohn because 1.5 years later yesterday they did their 4 mil concert with singapore symphony and brett played mendelssohn
True. Shows how much you can do if you put your mind into it and practice.
Opening: We failed the Menuhin violin competition 😢
Next sec: Plays wonderful sad song
Me: WTF
yeah. I wonder how far they would have gotten if they played seriously
(wonderful sad song = Vocalise by Rachmaninoff)
The Edward kid looks like an anime character who has come to life
Why have your self esteem be broken when you don't have one in the first place 😜
100%agree
"what was i doing when i was 14"
hMmM i wonder perhaps meeting your lifelong best friend at math tutoring?
The Korean girl is insanely great. She plays with the maturity and command of a cultured 60 year old who knows this stuff inside out.
As a middle-aged adult who just started violin lesson last week, I knew this is definitely not going to help and yet I still watched the video. :/ *sighs* Anyway, I'll keep practicing!
Hope it’s going well❤️
Alt title: a regular day in the life of a musician
the one dislike is from self-esteem
That sad violin piece at the beginning was actually beautiful
Vocalise is beautiful
@@quarat3ral497 ah is it rachmaninov?I forgot the name
@@megumin4564 Yup. It’s Rach.
When I saw Kento 👀
Realizes he in my school and in the same grade.
I can never look at him the same way.
It makes me so happy to see how many of the finalists are young ladies! Historically, orchestras have been very prejudiced against having female musicians and those attitudes are only now changing. Little girls get to grow up with role models like Hilary Hahn, Chloe Chua, Anne-Sophie Mutter, etc... so glad for them. We can be just as skilled as guys!
❤️❤️❤️
I think this has changed already. Musician women have been recognized, respected and celebrated. I think there is no need to make it sound as it was something new and woman weren't respected
Or more talented than guys
@Neutral Viewer wow. Who lit the fuse to your tampon?
@Neutral Viewer Who hurt you?
*Getting out dreams crushed again together, nothing out of the ordinary but instead the daily life of a musician when prodigies exist
That ysaye one where Eddy just stopped playing and started admiring Brett instead 🥰
Them who has a low self esteem: *SAD*
Their subscribers who are not musicians: Are we a *Joke* to you?
"Dude this guy has a THICC sound"

7:13 *your tea is ready*
Can't get enough of Eddys upset tone when he says "Sibelius?!? That's my piece!" :'D
8:54
“I wish there was an anime for the competition”
*Your Lie In April theme begins in the distance*
😭😭😭😭😭😭
little did Brett know he would be playing Mendelssohn a year later
Love seeing and hearing them nerd out on these prodigies, being such a fan of music like us to them.
Well said...👏👏👏 so true
8:47 Go Brett!!
I love all the different ways they describe the texture of the music; caramel, ominous, thick, colorful.....
Keila's playing from the very beginning stood out to me the most. I wasn't surprised that she won the competition.
they're so humble like i bet they can play pretty close to that with practice and preparing for a specific piece lmao

"I think the only thing crying about my playing is my face"
I cackled. I've never cackled before. Omg.
It’s ok because y’all are wearing the best merchandise on the market found at twoset apparel!
“What was I doing at 14?”
“Playing RuneScape”
I feel attacked
Maria Dueñas was simply amazing!!
She is! And to think people diss her because she puts so much character in her interpretations...
Certainly an amazing performance by her!
@@escaramujo i can tell you that shes one of the kindest sweetest human beings i know
@@Violinista1 she was born for it
YESSS!!! I hope Twoset will collab with her too :D
Looking at brett's and eddy's faces while their selfesteem vanishes i don't know if i should laugh or cry XD...
Sameee 🌝
No one:
Eddy, constantly: *“THICK SOUND”*
it's true tho 😩😩
Aww for real though, brett and eddy did such a good job with interviewing the contestants and bringing the internet exposure! Keep bringing your usual charm and we shall see them again next year for sure!
I was eating chips when I started watching twoset video.
Til the first violinist played, I stopped to avoid disturbing the sound
after 4mil livestream you realize how much Brett practiced
How does eddy manage to look like a 10 y/o and 28 y/o at the same time 😭
Because you switch from seeing his body to seeing his soul.
Same thing I've been asking over and over😂
Noticed how embodied these kids are! They are very free in their physical movements, carrying the music to/from their muscle and bone, breathing coordinated and supportive. Confidence allows that.
If you want to up your playing, let your body join in with your brain and you'll may just wow yourself.
Side note: I love watching you two "headbangers" rockin' out during Sebelius! LOL! Music moves us!
Eddy, I think you once watched yourself playing in your early teens and commented how much looser your body was. Get a movement instructor on as a guest; I want to see Brett shake loose! :)
Please, give some love also to accompanists, esp. the Edward's one... he is IMHO simply amazing. He drew all my attention already during Christian's performance.
Tears and goosebumps.
"Goodbye Self-Esteem"
I'm surprised Twoset still has some after watching so many prodigies.
Lmao me too
No one:
Absolutely no one:
The mosquito in my room at 3 AM: 5:31
And Brett one year later…..kills it!!!
9:03 Damnit Edward, tuck in that shirt! The judges do care about these things, if only subconsciously... my teachers woulda had a fit :D
That untucked shirt struck me too
We might not like it but people do "listen with their eyes".
I got this feeling that brett is holding back his ability so that he doesnt overshadow this prodigy😂
Brett and Eddy are such an enthusiatic audience. I can't imagine how they act when they go to a live concert. I can see them jumping around in their seats and screaming while other people in the audience stare at them.
I have never played a violin a day in my life, and I stumbled upon this channel. Now I'm obsessed with it. I've learned more about classical music in the past week than my whole life.
Same! I have been binge watching their videos the past 4 days and googling all composers!!
i know it’s all jokes but brett and eddy, you literally made history just like the MC said!
They are all so good that it's hard to know where their bodies end and their instruments begin - it's as if, they are entwined with their instruments. Just stunningly crazy!
That’s exactly right
Hard to fathom
I love watching them geek out about other musicians
Me too. ^_^
I think Eddy died a lot on the inside when the boy who is playing Siberius came. XD
I’ve been waiting for this. They need to interview Maria Duenas who was the winner of the Senior Division and her playing was GOOD!
underrated part of hannah tam's playing: her shoulder is so fucking flexible that she gets an insane angle with which to fret
5:56, Eddy you doing okay there?
Is it just me finding twoset so wholesome when jamming to classical as how others jam to pop?
Brett: "I love the colours..."
Me, a non-musician: Of her dress, me too!
B: "she's making."
Me: Oh
I was thinking the same here bro 😂
I haven't watched TwoSet in a minute (shame on me) but this video is a reminder of why I watch. I have no inherent musical talent and don't listen to classical music on the regular, but watching TwoSet brings me into it and I feel I can appreciate the music even though I'm not hearing what they are hearing.
How have I only just discovered these two musical, comedy geniuses? I foresee a mammoth binge watch x
It’s so wholesome to see two set so excited about classical music. In a way they brought me back into it
imagining what it is like to be Kenta, a Twosetter who gets reviewed and not roasted on the channel... if he has won I would love to see if he already practiced for the Lingling workout
hey eddy and brett, just want to let you know I really appreciate your commentary videos on these fabulous performances. As a person who doesn't practice classical music, I can only tell that they play really good, but have the least idea of what was spectacular in their performances. Thank you for bridging the gap of music appreciation in classical music!
