Don't be shy, do it with a whole orchestra with various Asian languages. Then make the conductor French.
This would be so hilarious hahahahahahhahaha

Asia is a continent (like Europe and Africa, for example). Inside this continent are many countries, including China (where people speak Chinese), Korea (where people speak Korean) and Japan (where people speak Japanese).
Chinese, Korean and Japanese are Asian languages, but "Asian" isn't a language. The same way there are European languages (such as French and German) and African languages (such as Zulu or Swahili), but "European" and "African" aren't languages.
Hope that's more clear for you.

BRUH NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HOW THEY PRACTICED FROM DAYLIGHT ALL THE WAY TO NIGHTTIME
It could have been near sunset time but yeah
probably recording during winter, time changes pretty quick in winter
It's even more impressive because this was filmed on the same day as the 5 levels of string quartet sight reading video, so I bet the recorded all afternoon
was filmed in late wintertime for them in australia, so the sun wouldve gone down pretty quick.
Everyone here is wrong. They practiced 40hrs true ling ling style
Strangely enough, this is not the first time I've seen a Mandarin speaker and a Korean speaker find common ground by speaking Japanese.
The explanation given in another comment which I second is: Japanese uses Chinese characters (though from way earlier, so they are neither quite simplified nor traditional) and has two interchangeable syllable alphabets (more similar to what Korean uses but w/o the dynamic merger of 'letters'). Also Japanese influence (mainly from colonialism) trickled into the Korean language while both use way more anglicisms than Chinese, so probably the common ground makes sense that way.

it's still so fascinating to me that brett and eddy met each other when they were kids, with the same passion for the violin and classical music, similar family backgrounds, the same language, lived in new zealand for a bit, maths tutoring, had the same ideas about their profession and started twosetviolin...maaaaaaan...the stars really did align for their friendship

There’s no such thing as a coincidence
@@hydrogen3266 The fact that you’re watching this means that you are energetically aligned with this video.
Ikr. I've seen so many friendships like theirs but it still really amazes me
they soulmates
I don't know if anyone bothered to Google them. I knew they were very accomplished because they're so good, they seem to know how to rehearse magically like top professionals in the world, and they're playing with TwoSet! But that cellist Hyung is a faculty member at Julliard, in their young musician division, & has a masters from Julliard! He's a top cellist with Queensland Symphony Orchestra. That might be how he knows TwoSet, like through Eddy, because he played there, too. He said in an interview that he did speed skating, and his dad was a speed skating coach (probably Olympic level), he didn't like it, and switched to cello! Super high-end and accomplished. I don't see much about Angie, but she must be similarly accomplished. No one is talking about how high-level elite they all are!
I have 0 background in music and know just as much.
(so 0)
But through their emotion, their passion I am learning and I love it! Very well done!
Brett's laugh is music in any language.
In the video avout the juilliard protests they said they knew from a staff member that not everyone working for the school agreed to the anti-protest measures, Hyung must've been the one to tell them!
I love this new addition to the TSCU (Two Set Cinematic Universe)
do you know something about Angie?

Imagine this, but as a whole orchestra with people from all over the world speaking different languages
please it’ll be so chaotic i would kill to see that lmaooo
My introduction to Prokofiev was someone posting a tiktok about trying to conduct an orchestra in Albania where their mutual language was Italian music phrases and basic conversational words in Russian, it's not that far fetched :) Music really is a universal language though!
There was a episode of Star Trek were the translator went down so everyone was speaking different languages
It would be hard to find people that’s not bilingual
Now i want that to happen.
I thought Eddy and Brett called him 'hyung' because he is older, turned out his name is actually Hyung
Hyung is older?
@@CalLadyQED It's a term that males generally use to address guys that are older than them (usually with people they're close to)

You wouldn't understand, this is something only the trained ear could understand

I'm going to become that someday. Probably in a few months when I'm not considered a beginner violinist that can only play Mary had a little lamb on the D string.

Me too!!
in australia when this was filmed, it would be super bright at 4pm then be pitch black at 5:30
It's cause it's winter in Australia right now--sun set is super early
@@ainspains3485 not just early but fast- the sun sets much faster in Australia than when you're further away from the equator (like the US and Europe).
@@alexwood3459 I think you got it the other way round. If you look at the length of twilight, winter and summer has the longest sunsets and sunrises. It just feels quick because the days are either really short or really long, but the transition period is actually the longest.

Many years ago I took viola lessons from a woman who only spoke Russian and a little bit of Malay and English in Malaysia. I only spoke English and about 5 words in Malay and zero Russian. Our only common language was the Italian and German musical terms. We used ALOT of body language and demonstrations. Best lessons ever!
does she stay in malaysia?
At RCM I had a masterclass with a Russian violist and there was an interpreter employed. Interestingly we soon discovered we all spoke very basic German and proceeded to communicate in bad German and (good) music!
It really makes you understand the piece and express it rather than with words 😳

What’s fascinating is that when verbal communication failed, they would resort to communicating with their instruments and the intent was understood. This supports the theory that music is a universal language.
- they share knowledge in music
- rising intonation of the voice is also a cue
- they're using alot of nonverbal cues too (gestures)
the musicians here are probably good nonverbal/non-linguistic communicators.
or just the fact that they're all musicians and can figure out what eachother mean since they're used to working with other musicians.
it’s also the fact that usually words are very clumsy at describing what music sounds like, so it’s usually more straightforward to play to demonstrate than to use words, esp. in this context where they all know how to produce the nuances that they’re envisioning
I’m pretty sure that most ppl who don’t play instruments or are involved in music wouldn’t understand it, though
This also isn't mentioning all of the non verbal communication that people do in normal rehearsals anyway. For example one person may start suddenly playing very slightly faster than everyone else to either indicate that they feel like they should be louder during this section, or that they should speed up.
There's tons of nuance.
the way she drops her paper and silently stands up to keep playing while reading it on the ground is the small things that show how professional they are, reminds me of seeing orchestras where someone's strings snap and everyone passes up their instrument on the fly to allow the more skilled positions to keep playing, seemlessly. The overall performance comes first at their high level❤

As a bilingual person with multiple bilinugal friends who constantly switch the language of a conversation, I find this to be the funniest thing ever.
Us bilinguals stick together
Any tips for a semi multilingual?
I can understand tagalog, but can’t speak it
Can speak very little Japanese, and can understand very little
Can speak fluent english
@@chimklee i have mastered 3 languages and can understand 4 others while speaking a little bit of each of these 4. My tip is force yourself to listen and speak and think in the new language. For example, if you are learning Japanese, practice, practice, practice 40hrs a day (lol but seriously practice as much as possible). You should watch like 2-3 hrs of japanese tv a day, without subtitles in your native language but in Japanese. (careful though because japanese variety TV is... Interesting). Also, try to think in this language, it will force you to learn everyday words. I am a bit of a polyglot by force and choice, i have mastered Albanian, and Italian because of my moving from one country to another, English because of the internet, French because of school and because i love French opera Spanish and Latin come naturally with Italian and German because of school. Anyone can do it if my 14 year old self can. Just practice practice practice, because a language is like a muscle, if you don't work it out you will lose it.

I really like this video because it shows much effort goes into interpreting the music - how it’s way more than “just” playing the notes
Same ! 😊 I've been following TwoSet for years and have watched every single one of their videos. This one is only a week old, but it's already in my Top 10.
its pretty funny that they proved "speaking louder to someone in a different language wont make them understand u" correct, none of them yelled to try to get the other to understand
That
Just
That
Yes
Yes. Nor slower.
For me you would have to speak slower if I knew q little bit of the language, or use lots of hand movements.
The "speak louder" is only a thing I know from monolingual English speakers. But the most important thing is to speak slower and clearly; doing it louder is the opposite of clearer (unless you speak too soft already)
Me and my friend both speak Korean and Mandarin but oddly enough, we often find ourselves communicating in Japanese, which neither of us speak 😭

Seeing people speak their native language is a beautiful thing. They often have so much more expression.

I really like this video because everyone is pouring their own thoughts and interpretations into the music and it isn’t a dictatorship being ran by one individual. That’s something young musicians don’t always understand especially the more you’re playing in larger ensembles. Thanks for this amazing content!!

Would be really interesting to see a version of this where each musician speaks a different language. That way, you can't even have the conferring between two people and I suspect they would have to rely almost entirely on playing or body language to communicate, which they already did a lot of in this video.

Interesting on its own right, but having 2 individual knows a language is a plus for comedy and humor.

I think after a while it'd get annoying... because they're not playing the piece completely through, they are constantly stopping and repeating until it's right... and speaking as someone with a drummer for a neighbor, it gets very very old. The only reason I haven't complained about the noise to the council is because I realize that they need to practice sometime, and at least they're not doing it late at night...
Normally, I find watching rehearsals a bit dull, but these guys make it so entertaining, and the language barrier actually helps to clarify what they are trying to achieve because they have to simplify so much to be understood... Also, the numbers seem to be common between the languages 😊
The numbers in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are similar because at one point China controlled all three areas.
Korea actually uses two different sets of numbers, and one set is indeed very similar to Chinese.
@@WorldifySanity China has NEVER controlled Japan lol, the culture and language is just very similar due to the trade between the two nations and also confucianism. China did control Korea though

Seeing just how people speaking different languages would learn to communicate with body signs, facial expression and pidgin version of certain language while working together, this might actually be quite interesting to lingustics.
Yeah pidgins usually develop when different linguistic groups have to work together, so we are kind of seeing the very rudimentary formations of one in action, plus it helps that they are very skilled in the work they are doing (music) so they can use that to communicate as well (by playing first and allowing the others to mimic for example). First you use gestures and single words and such with pointing, and then certain words start being picked up by the other group and after enough time you get a completely new language. Very fascinating how adaptable humans are when it comes to communication.
Don’t forget Japanese and
C h a r a c t e r
Body language and signs are different in different countries, I suspect they are using their common Australian body language, as well as the body language of classical music.
actually that's why we italians gesticulate a lot, the way we speak can change drastically region by region, city by city and even inside the same city there can be different dialects. so instead of learning 100+ dialects/languages you just learn to express things with your body and gestures
I remember when my English-speaking choir went to Germany and were conducted by a Very German choirmaster. He kept saying “Nein! Nine! Nein!” And no one could figure out if it mesure 9, 99 or if we were doing it wrong lol 😂
"twenty seven"
"Penfold shush"
Lol I remember saying this one word I only know in German which is also "Nein" so I always shout at my friends "Nein! Nein!" If they're doing something wrong and they would always respond "Nine? Nine?"
“dad in a foreign country” at 5:13 had me laughing so hard
It’s so accurate
Lmaooo😭💀 My dad speaks many languages so no but I can imagine it well for other dads😂
Hi, fellow Carat!
So accurate it made me laugh for 5 min straight
We need this
Violins: Chinese
Viola: Korean
Cellos: Japanese
Bass: Filipino

THIS WOULD BE PERFECT😭🤌
Speaking Korean n Chinese, but when they want to understand each other they speak Japanese 😂 thank u amine
Ah yes. Amine
Anime. Best place to learn japanese.

All jokes aside this was very interesting in terms of what musicians are focusing on when not only trying to play better but working with each other to create an ideal sound
We all know *what* to play, but we have to discuss *how* to play it lol
I love how often I forget that they can actually play their instruments. When they started I was like, "damn they're actually good wtf?" And then I had to remember " Mia they're professional musicians, of course they're good"
Lmao same
아 이 영상 넘 웃김… ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 투셋 영상에서 한국어를 이렇게 많이 듣게될 줄 몰랐는데 영상의 반이 한국어라 편안한 것도 있고 무엇보다 결국엔 모두가 일본어로 소통하게 된다는 점이 너무 웃김 아 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

And "as a linguist" you should know that your statement is grammatically incorrect. A correct version of it would be "As a linguist, I find it really fun to watch".
When they can't speak in English: *communicate through music and Japanese*
the power of god and anime on their side
@@kochi3accordion music connects people, and also anime does:D
I just realised japanese has elements from both languages
And physical gestures. Like when Angie gestured for a quicker tempo and Eddy [sort of] gestured for a lower dynamic.
@@Feimicha well gestures are kind of part of natural communication and aren'tt always the same throughout languages (there are languages where nodding means "no", like Bulgarian, if I remember correctly)
Wow this video made me feel things. I played the violin for the majority of my public school life, treating it as a chore for the majority of that time. It was a major source of stress for me. Almost exactly a year ago I had my final violin lesson via Skype before starting university. I made a half-hearted attempt to join the orchestra there, but it would have been online so I ditched that plan. As far as I knew, my violin career had already unceremoniously fizzled out and died, after all of my senior year performances were cancelled one after another. I haven’t picked up my instrument since then. I’ve barely even thought about it until now. But after seeing everyone in this video having so much fun despite the language barrier, I have a genuine desire to play again, possibly for the first time in my life. I forgot that I don’t need to play perfectly, nor do I need to take it seriously. I just need to have fun. That’s all I need. In my mind I never quit, but I wanted to stay on an indefinite hiatus…possibly forever? Which is the same as quitting, now that I think of it lol. But I’m glad a part of me never let it go. And this video reminded me of something important. Thanks Twoset, you guys are so cool
wow. I feel the exact same way about my instruments. stopped playing piano 4 years ago, and stopped playing clarinet/other woodwinds 2 years ago for uni. I guess I forgot why I liked playing so much. reading your comment while watching the video made me realize that I miss it, I guess. dunno when I’ll pick it up again, but I’ll always have that thought in the back of my mind. thanks twoset and michele lol
Ah, same with me. I never wanted to really play violin, I always wanted to play cello (it would be a long story but short: the school I went to made me decide between violin and cello, I picked violin kind of accidentally).
During my last year at that school I found out about twoset and it made a spark in my that wanted to play again but I haven’t gotten to it, dunno when I will.
Just play because life without music is sad. It's quite ok to enjoy oneself without being good. :-)
this was so lovely to read. I hope you'll keep going :D
Same with me and the piano! 🎹
14:40 i just love this cello part, can’t stop replaying it
Next challenge should be practicing with a String Quartet with only the Japanese phrases you know, but nobody is a Japanese speaker. Or getting instruction from a Japanese speaker.
*_"Yamete kudesai!"_*
@@jocosesonata "onii-san moo hayaku kudasai" "chotto matte!!" "hayai"
I think they all speak fluent Weebanese or weeb Japanese so I think it could work.
Cello: *steady sway*
Viola: *cheery weave*
Violins: *BOUNCY BOIS*
Fascinating how they developed an understanding with hand movements. Up/down for loud/soft, front/back for fast/slow, and hands outstretched/close for longer/shorter
I thought that was cool too! As the video went on, they were more and more able to understand each other
Conductors often use a lot of hand movements to get what they want from an orchestra, so it is not that hard to guess. Up/down for loudness is very standard.
they say music is a universal language after all
I feel a lot of it is understood after so many year of lessons, and rehearsals. Music is universal!:)
@@novulus5470 music and acting/mimeing/sign language-ing so good
I know it started off funny but this is a priceless gem - to be able to have a window into the rehearsals is a real treat…
As a cellist, I resonate at 13:44 when we finally get to have the theme, especially in a quartet. My man almost stood up.
the pain we cellists endure 😩
almost stood up with him tbh
I loved that bit! It sounds so dark and intense the way he plays it
Excuse me, do you know the name of what their are playing? I like it and i don't know the name :(

Hyundg started it! He has only himself to blame!
can we talk about how adorable angie is when eddy starts humming at 4:20 and she - for literally no reason - adds the extra pam ?? so cute !!
I'm living for these string quartet series
I feel you. String quartet is one of my favourite settings. Hoping for a live concert with these four!
At the beginning, they were four people who didn’t understand each other’s spoken language (much), yet tried to play a piece of music together, trying to sync themselves technically and with the same intention.
Along the way, lots of confusion, questions, jokes (Loved all the stuff about poop.). Sign language, stops and starts, and finally, satisfactory results.
At the end, they were a fairly tight ensemble that had a better understanding of the music and of each other.
Musical, educational and hilarious. WELL DONE! Do some more!
Peace, love, laughs ✌️💜🤣
'Musical, educational and hilarious' - Indeed... and that's what adds up to a great vid!
I think you're over-analyzing it. But I agree about the poop part.
Brett: lift eyebrows while playing
Eddy: gets up from chair while playing
Old habit never dies😁😁
This is the beauty of Music. We have the different languages but when it comes to music, we are one.
Twoset's whole personality feels two degrees softer when they speak Chinese (when Brett speaks in Chinese but then tries to hum the music his voice just dropped an octave lol)
And Korean is a beautiful language to listen to, I don't speak Korean, but the way they pronounce things sounds so gentle
It's Mandarin not Chinese, nobody "speaks Chinese" because Chinese is just the words not the speaking language
@@tedricksak6766 bruh

@@tedricksak6766 my bad... Tho I think Chinese can refer to all the different languages spoken by different ethnic groups in China, but you're right the are speaking mandarin :)

Much love to Editor San for playing Mendelssohn Symphony No. 4 "Italian" in the background, I had a good laugh😂
Thank you, I was searching the song
why is no one talking about 11:24 😂🤌🏻
3:30 has me cracking up. it reminds me of when you throw the bowling ball backwards in wii sports and everyone just kinda jumps
I think this is actually a really amazing exercise for musicians. While we play we have to rely on our instruments and body language to communicate to each other. Rehearsing like this improves a groups non verbal communication and can lead to better live shows
Agree
And maybe subtle cues to use in the future lkke , ur goin to slow , to tense in genstures
Four people whose only common language is English somehow communicate in Chinese, Korean, a bit of Japanese, but mostly in music... wizardry!
I love Angie, she's so expressive when she plays
Thank you pointing it out!
I do love it. 😚👍👍👍
shes also adorable
twoset 영상에서 한국어를 들을 수 있다니, 정말 신기하면서도 즐거운 영상이었어요. 언어가 안 통하는데도 한 곡이 완성되어 가는 과정이 정말 신기하고 멋진 것 같아요.
맞아요!!

They can’t speak each other’s language so they spoke in a language that none of them knew 😂😂
I am really enjoying the rehearsal no matter what language. This would be EXCELLENT to show high school students on what is the purpose of rehearsal. It's not about learning the right notes, it's about playing the notes right!! Thank you for sharing!!!
And playing the notes right *together*. 'Cause you can practise at home to play the notes right but what's amazing about ensemble rehearsal is finding that unity and chemistry together - it's fundamentally about connecting with other people and it's awesome!
dad in a foreign country was probably the most accurate language related thing ive ever heard
I love the laughter thruout, but the rosin thing was just so fun to watch. As an Mom, it seems to me that poop jokes never get old with young ones.
