I'm quite disappointed with the way things went regarding twosetviolin. I've been watching them for several years and I really loved their roast videos of violin playing in movies/of idols, their sheet reading videos, them trying to play difficult pieces, their collabs with hilary hahn and davie, and their tchaikovsky, sibelius and mendelssohn concertos. After gaining 4m subs and doing so much hard work and getting a huge fanbase with so much love for them, it kind of feels confusing when you're left with no explanation for such a huge decision. I really love classical music and i enjoyed them showing me a world of classical music through fun lenses.
No they are NOT forming a quartet with Igudesman & Joo. If you read the instagram post, you'll see that Igudesman & Joo were just as surprised by Twoset's anouncement as anyone else. This is just a fun video they made together and they are talking about Igudesman & Joo's retirement. The John cage 4:33 reference is a give away they are not serious at all of course.
Well, we probably can only speculate now. They recorded their joint video five days after the initial TwoSet post. So, it is possible I&J were surprised at that time. We need to wait and see the next moves. I will keep you posted on my channel
A couple channels have started realising Twoset's videos as reposts. It might be against YT rules, but I don't care. What Twoset did to all us fans isn't okay. Yes, they did the work, and yes, they can do whatever they like, but without us fans, they wouldn't be famous nor earn money.
I seriously don’t get this. Instead of leaving a nice legacy, they’re just seemingly trying to make their audiences think they’re pieces of shit who tricked them by being likeable and betraying and leaving them hanging with weird jokes as hope.
I honestly respect their choice to start a new thing. Tho there's zero explanation to why deleting their own videos. We will need to wait 'til they post something about that
Even if this is a rebrand or a joke, I'll always support them (literally). This makes me heartbroken and makes me cry for several days, but I think I'll be by their side like the last 4-5 years.
I'm actually mad. They haven't done this right. I think they forgot the fans they worked so hard for. If they reappear, I don't know what I'll do. it probably depends on what kind of return they do.
@@xandraxandra1437 I understand why you are mad and yeah they should (maybe must) do an explanation video for what they did to us. Also, I think that nobody surely knows what to do when they reappear actually but let just wait, time will answer, and I hope that this will go right.
really shitty way to treat people especially when you think about how they always spoke about integrity and "blasphemous" became one of their catch phrases. It just screws the public over really badly, particularly those people who have just discovered them--and just totally bad to delete all their content so that nobody could explore the richness of their creativity. It's terrible betrayal of public trust.
Yes, agreed. We am working on a marathon video to bring to you what we could get access to - around 10 hours of video... Stay tunes and hit the bell icon to be notified when the video is out.
I literally love Brett and Eddy so much and respect them…I am so shocked. All I know is that they are literally the ones who stopped me from quitting playing my violin through Covid and I will forever thank them ❤️ I can’t ever be mad for what they did but I am still sad and shocked 😭😭😭
But what if they are just joking, saying they are a 'quartet' bc all four of them 'retired' at the same time. They could Just be using musical terms to be funny
actually don't care if they form a quartet because they really screwed their public over. they don't deserve continued following or the endless lauds and Strads if they cannot maintain some professional integrity that shows some respect to public that loyally supported them financially and emotionally. The general public paid their expenses, so they should be a bit more responsible to the public and not just destroy the past work. They may have created it, but the public paid for the work.
It is true to the extent. They also earned it through their creativity and youtube paid them the most of their earnings I guess. Maybe I am mistaken though...
@@6-dpegasus425 no, not overreacting. Destroying an archive is not exactly professional behavior. If any major opera singer acted in this manner or any major soloist, say pianist of high public profile walked off stage and then systematically had all past recordings and performanced destroyed; the outrage and anger would be unreal and there would be no further support. Once you perform or publish something, it's no longer yours but belongs in the public. before, I would have said they truly deserved solo careers because they didn't do anything so much different than so many soloists before them. Pianists used to live their entire lives on trains hauling their pianos about from city to city and it wasn't easy life. TwoSet built a public, received attention, recognition, opportunities and Strads and then screwed everybody. Not really very impressed. If any major soprano, say Ludwig, Janowitz, Callas, whoever had done this-- there would be absolutely no future discussion of any future. So seems they want double standard: they want to be perceived as professional musicians, but behave like narcissistic bloggers. So let them be obliterated like bloggers. Horowitz vanished from the stage, but he didn't destroy his archive of recordings. Verdi didn't just decide to destroy everything he wrote. After all, he published the woorks and after that they came into the public domain eventually. TwoSet has very strange definiteion of "professionalism" and they no longer deserve much respect because they just aren't very responsible or professional in this behavior. They're just bloggers that deserve being obliterated from memory. Terrible betrayal of public who funded and paid their rents, expenses etc.
@ardeladimwit they're private, not deleted, so they can still be brought back, that's the main difference. However if they do refuse to ever elaborate and also never revert it without explaining, then maybe
@@ardeladimwitI agree, they could have done this so much better. I don't know what happened, maybe something very private, but they didn't have to delete themselves and crush the fans. They talked about moral, but didn't practice it.
You know that was a joke? Retirement quartet because they all retire and they are 4 persons. Don't believe in that. When there was a new formation, they would have announced it another way.
@@ClassicalMusicNews yes, I absolutely agree. At the moment we have to rely on hints, given by several persons, that may know about their plans. But I think this reel is meant as a joke. And that is it that gives me a bad feeling. When the video appeared, they have already disappeared. Leaving back thousands of sad fans. It's not really funny towards them making jokes about their retirement, right? Would be another thing if they had given a proper explanation.
The worst part is I wasn’t able to go on their world tour when they came to my city a year ago. It’s cool that they are still around though. I hope their legacy continues. They inspired me so much to keep going on the violin.
I think it's the beginning of their next chapter and we will have more opportunities to see and hear them play, maybe in a different capacity, however.
All two set fans know that John Cage 433 equals silence. So that little “retirement” video is not an announcement of anything. So not sure what is purpose of this video.😅
Well, neither of Twoset said anything about 4:33. It was Alexey who mentioned that. Why would Igudesman and Joo would be in that video and what is the purpose of that video then in the first place? To announce they will be silent? It does not make sense but announcing the next venture in this "innovative-unpredictable" way is more in their spirit. However, only time will tell. Thanks for the comment.
In a bunch of the content, there was an undertone of the pursuit of money. I'd not be too surprised if they got themselves into some sort of business trouble. The self imposed stress to create, upload, the very early anticipation of the next million subs party... Success appeared to become numbers rather than notes. Happy to be wrong.
Well, it is hard to stay completely away from the success and the numbers of fans they got, particularly when as young as they were/are. We will see...
@@ClassicalMusicNews its a somewhat-inside joke about the twoset's editor being stuck in the basement or something like that, which has appeared on a few relatively old videos of theirs haha
This will not end well. First you leave all your fanbase that supported you and made you famous in the dust without any explanations. Then you come up with a new format and pretty much force your fans to listen to that. I would just boycott them so that they learn that you cannot treat people like that. I just don‘t buy it that they flattered their fans for years with their supposed gratitude for their support to just forget about it in an instant.
@@kachikawawa_ Well, I am not sure on whether this is a wrong move (time will tell) but the handling of it and the communication could be better, no doubt!
Does anyone think there was a big lawsuit with some kind of gag order?? Idk the law stuff that well, I wondered if it was something extreme. Judging by their previous talks about copystrikes and legal things in the music community. They wouldn't pull something like this without an explanation unless something really bad happened. Maybe they were threatened
So they formed a quartet. It’s a huge surprise! Brett and eddy were the ones who made me fell in love with classical music and instruments. Maybe this quartet will do something even bigger than before! Still watching the TwoSetViolin reuploads through
They can do what they want, as far as retirement or changing careers (that's not to say I won't miss them . . .I really will). I know that a lot of YT creators get burned out. BUT why take away our access to their wonderful, informative and often HILARIOUS videos? I've loved classical music for a long time, but I can definitely see people getting a taste of it and exploring more of it just from watching their videos. They make the music accessible, and make you laugh all the while. I hope they give back access, even the ones they may not think are their best. You never know what will inspire people.
I mean they can do what they want but the transition could of been better. They kinda left their entire fan base hanging who got them to this point. Plus why erase your youtube internet presence? Might as well as delete the channel.
Very good points! Our new In-depth review answers some of your questions and can give you a much better idea of what's happening! th-cam.com/video/AxTWUYlnh3A/w-d-xo.html
In an alternate reality? I think it looks like a temporary quartet just for one performance, just like they made earlier, when they participated in quartets and ensembles to make a video.
2024 is some special YT year. Nikocado Avocado is also a violinist. I think someone is not fixing the timeline right... So, if Nikocado gets fixed, those guys vanish? That's how it feels
But... 4'33" is silence. Get it? A quartet that only plays silence? Quintets... Sextets... Don't need any other people when all the parts are rests. The "retirement quartet" that you never hear from again. Just sayin'.
The videos they wiped out used to bring them cash I'm sure, from all the viewers hitting on them.... so that's another reason why I don't understand what they did. Why cut yourself off a money stream??? Anyone has an explanation?
I felt really sad coz I loved rewatching their clips and suddenly it was all gone. I felt like I was grieving a dead family member. I love these guys but it was such a jerk move. 😢
Imagine this was like a Marvel's way of making the actors denying they are in the movie, which seemingly everyone (audience) know they are lying And Twoset is like: We are retiring, we seems to get everyone (audience again) seems to struggles to know if they are lying or not
If they want to start something new - that's fine... But don't delete all the videos i still need to watch. I don't think this will be bigger or better... They just disappoint so many people - just by deleting all their stuff. It will be very hard to find 4Mio new classic-fans. And for me: I didn't know the other 2 - but from the very little i saw it feels like i don't like their style. So if i don't like half of the people and from the other 2 i'd only watch about 70-80% it just makes 35-40%. That will never be enough for me to follow them or watch their videos that often. Deleting their videos is like deleting your History, Legecy and Community. They'll fail (compared to their former Channel).
Yes, I agree and share the concern. As you are, I did not know much about the I&J. So, I decided to produce a video about them and search them up a bit more. Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/8v92aHgqa24/w-d-xo.html There are some really fun musical staff they do and they are both highly skilled musicians and more than just performers. There is also a poll to respond to about the reasons behind 2Set announcement.

THANK X, Y, Z I LOOKED THIS UP!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN IN FLOODS OF TEARS over the fact that I thought I was NEVER going to see them again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS LITERALLY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU JUST HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you VERY MUCH INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.
Just seen the first new incarnation of TwoSet. So desperately sad that it is horrifically bad! I have no idea whose idea this new concept was, but it should be stopped before it becomes even more embarrassing!
Hmmmmm, they might have been hired by a company to form that Quartet and they had to delete their content as an element of the contract? But I don't get just how much money they got to accept such ridiculous contract. They'd sacrifice their freedom of expression on TH-cam... Or it was that their channel wasn't owned by themselves and by quitting they deleted their videos as retaliation?
Yes, I think it is possible it's a contract thing. Time will tell but I am curious whose take on the actual reason for them to delete the videos will be the true one!
Here is our recent In-depth Analysis of what's going on with their disappearance. It can add some details to this puzzle: th-cam.com/video/AxTWUYlnh3A/w-d-xo.html
The video embedded in this video in the middle of it. That was their way of announcing it... I am not sure if this is the best way but that's what we have.

Haha, you are correct. However, I am in music business for more than 30 years and I find that sometimes classical musicians can be unrelatable:). TwoSet Violin definitely brought classical music closer to the masses and made it more approachable besides other things.
@@ClassicalMusicNews operati😢😢ve word "brought," past tesnse. I think they were being a blackmailed somehow. Or are tied up in a dungeon. I hope the quartet thing is a gag
Thank you for the comment and for watching. We know what this piece is about despite some misconception that this piece is about silence. Have you ever seen the actual score of this piece with Cage's remarks? It is worth reviewing. This piece is not about silence. This piece is about exploring sounds around you and to figure out whether we can call all sounds around us a music. It is an exploration of where the boundaries of music start. We have a question for you: why would they appear on the video with Igudesman & Joo? Just for fun or to announce their joint silence? Please also check a poll we created to discover what other fans think about TwoSet reasons behind the announcement: www.youtube.com/@ClassicalMusicNews/community. You maybe surprised but more than half think it is a rebranding of some sort. Please feel free to add your voice to the pool.
@@ClassicalMusicNewsbelieve it or not, yes, I know the piece, the meaning and the misconceptions behind the piece exceptionally well. I have even performed it at a Cage symposium with a number of Cage’s other works. They’re comedians… they may well collaborate for something relatively one off (or not but I’d be surprised) but they’re likely relying on their audience who are musicians to ‘get’ that this is a little whimsy. All likelihood is they’re doing a massive rebrand/ pulling a Tryguys and putting their content behind a paywall due to rising gripes with TH-cam for creators. Perhaps I&J are coaching them with that as the OG comedic classical music duo.
Great, thanks, it helps. We can only speculate at this point about the 'true' reasons. I am curious however whose point may be the true one.

Yes, we won't really know until we here from them. We released a new video with fan reactiins, etc, and there is a poll on our channel under Community tab to vote on their announcement...
We don't think so. We are working on a video to demystify their disappearance and present all the theories in an intelligent way, as much as possible. Stay tuned and please consider subscribing if you haven't done so already. Thanks!
Ms./Ms. Classical Music News---- who are you, exactly? You write like a PR person so I wonder if they hired you to keep up the interest until they're back with something new. If so, this scheme does nothing more than make their fans angry.
Yes, many people do so. I think they know it and will have to break the silence soon. We are watching it closely and will keep you posted. Meanwhile, we are working on a TwoSet Marathon video to give an overview of their entire legacy from early days till now. Stay tuned...

I think it looks like a temporary quartet just for one performance, just like they made earlier, when they participated in quartets and ensembles to make a video.
Well, let's see. They removed a lot of content from their channel...
2024 is some special YT year.
Nikocado Avocado is also a violinist.
I think someone is not fixing the timeline right...
So, if Nikocado gets fixed, those guys vanish? That's how it feels
Hilarious! 😂 Here is our new video with a fixed timeline😊: th-cam.com/video/AxTWUYlnh3A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UnMeIsydCTbm0di6
But... 4'33" is silence. Get it? A quartet that only plays silence? Quintets... Sextets... Don't need any other people when all the parts are rests. The "retirement quartet" that you never hear from again. Just sayin'.
Why would they make that announcement then? Any ideas? Just for fun?
The time has come. Ling Ling! After all these years it is time to interrupt your constant practice and perform. It is your time to shine!
"new quartet" = joke
Well, it well may be. Let's see how long they survive...
@@oxoelfoxo yeah I think so too
Yeah! The John cage reference lol
The videos they wiped out used to bring them cash I'm sure, from all the viewers hitting on them.... so that's another reason why I don't understand what they did. Why cut yourself off a money stream???
Anyone has an explanation?
I don't think the old videos were bringing them a lot of cash. a few dollars per video each month, maybe...
I felt really sad coz I loved rewatching their clips and suddenly it was all gone. I felt like I was grieving a dead family member. I love these guys but it was such a jerk move. 😢
They'll be back! We are working on a new video and you will see where it all goes to!
yeah we don’t want this.. give me two set back bruh
Haha, good idea!
Imagine this was like a Marvel's way of making the actors denying they are in the movie, which seemingly everyone (audience) know they are lying
And Twoset is like: We are retiring, we seems to get everyone (audience again) seems to struggles to know if they are lying or not
That's is very unfortunate they decided to take down their videos!
If they want to start something new - that's fine... But don't delete all the videos i still need to watch.
I don't think this will be bigger or better... They just disappoint so many people - just by deleting all their stuff. It will be very hard to find 4Mio new classic-fans. And for me: I didn't know the other 2 - but from the very little i saw it feels like i don't like their style. So if i don't like half of the people and from the other 2 i'd only watch about 70-80% it just makes 35-40%. That will never be enough for me to follow them or watch their videos that often.
Deleting their videos is like deleting your History, Legecy and Community. They'll fail (compared to their former Channel).
Yes, I agree and share the concern. As you are, I did not know much about the I&J. So, I decided to produce a video about them and search them up a bit more. Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/8v92aHgqa24/w-d-xo.html
There are some really fun musical staff they do and they are both highly skilled musicians and more than just performers.
There is also a poll to respond to about the reasons behind 2Set announcement. The poll is here: th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjI6WJdmEWYGkM_LN2qL9PMU6SPdNWahW

We ❤ them so much!
THANK X, Y, Z I LOOKED THIS UP!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN IN FLOODS OF TEARS over the fact that I thought I was NEVER going to see them again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS LITERALLY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU JUST HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you VERY MUCH INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.
Hi Julie, you are not alone! They mean a lot to so many around the world...
omg they legit scared the shit outta me, abit salty for fallin for it but great to se them back lol
Yep!
Just seen the first new incarnation of TwoSet. So desperately sad that it is horrifically bad! I have no idea whose idea this new concept was, but it should be stopped before it becomes even more embarrassing!
Yes, it's kind of strange: cool on the one side but strange on the other.
what is that video w igudesman and joo called? i cant find
Me neither
instagram.com/reel/DBWC0CbAgbv/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
But are they still playing violin
I hope so!:)
But why are they DOING THIS
I don't think they are combining their fans. The fanbases will be skeptic about this news, as am I.
Well, it also depends on what they would decide to do together
Whoooosh.
Yep!!
Please could someone spell the names of the duo twoset are teaming up with? Julie Gill, Glasgow, Scotland.
Igudesman and Joo
Here is our new video: th-cam.com/video/AxTWUYlnh3A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UnMeIsydCTbm0di6
Where is this video posted
Igudesman & Joo's Instagram
Where is the official video please? On which social media
It is on Igudesman and Joo Instagram
Why did they remove so many videos??
That's a good question. I am working on a video that should answer that as best as we can at the moment. Stay tuned and subscribe.
Sounds like they were joking about getting together with the other guys 😂
It would be not a good joke if it was a joke. I am not sure if it was, although it looks like it. We will have to wait and see...
@@ClassicalMusicNews I agree.
wooooh I didn't even see that yet
Really where can I find that video?
Igudesman and Joo's Instagram
Hmmmmm, they might have been hired by a company to form that Quartet and they had to delete their content as an element of the contract? But I don't get just how much money they got to accept such ridiculous contract. They'd sacrifice their freedom of expression on TH-cam... Or it was that their channel wasn't owned by themselves and by quitting they deleted their videos as retaliation?
Yes, I think it is possible it's a contract thing. Time will tell but I am curious whose take on the actual reason for them to delete the videos will be the true one!
It's been over a month, so I can't help but think they had a massive fall out or something. Why else would they leave so abruptly?
Here is our recent In-depth Analysis of what's going on with their disappearance. It can add some details to this puzzle: th-cam.com/video/AxTWUYlnh3A/w-d-xo.html
Wow wonderful 30000
It's already 63k!
WHAT!!!?? NO WAY!!!
This is what we have for the moment...
Crazy…
Yep!
Oooof. I'd have been happier with the retirement.
Haha...
IS THIS A JOKE???
Unfortunately, it looks like it is not...
Marshall Harrison - Guitarist
Where did you get the video? Please put sources in desc or something.
It's on the igudesmanandjoo Instagram. Check it out ...
Did they break up?
It doesn't look so... We can only speculate
Where is the video where they announce that?
The video embedded in this video in the middle of it. That was their way of announcing it... I am not sure if this is the best way but that's what we have.
@@ClassicalMusicNews ?
Idk who those 2 other guys are, but I blame them for ruining twoset
If you are curious about who are those two other guys, check out our new video on why they would appear with I&J in their announcement: th-cam.com/video/8v92aHgqa24/w-d-xo.html There is also a poll to find out what the community thinks about the announcement: th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjI6WJdmEWYGkM_LN2qL9PMU6SPdNWahW. Please check it out.
there is no way
Yep
Being a classical musician is already unrelatable at the beginning. we don't need clowns to make us relatable. We all know our fate.
Haha, you are correct. However, I am in music business for more than 30 years and I find that sometimes classical musicians can be unrelatable:). TwoSet Violin definitely brought classical music closer to the masses and made it more approachable besides other things.
@@ClassicalMusicNews operati😢😢ve
word "brought," past tesnse. I think they were being a blackmailed somehow. Or are tied up in a dungeon. I hope the quartet thing is a gag
Ok - I implore you to actually look up what Cage’s 4.33 is before posting this…
Thank you for the comment and for watching. We know what this piece is about despite some misconception that this piece is about silence. Have you ever seen the actual score of this piece with Cage's remarks? It is worth reviewing. This piece is not about silence. This piece is about exploring sounds around you and to figure out whether we can call all sounds around us a music. It is an exploration of where the boundaries of music start.
We have a question for you: why would they appear on the video with Igudesman & Joo? Just for fun or to announce their joint silence?
Please also check a poll we created to discover what other fans think about TwoSet reasons behind the announcement: www.youtube.com/@ClassicalMusicNews/community. You maybe surprised but more than half think it is a rebranding of some sort. Please feel free to add your voice to the pool.
@@ClassicalMusicNewsbelieve it or not, yes, I know the piece, the meaning and the misconceptions behind the piece exceptionally well. I have even performed it at a Cage symposium with a number of Cage’s other works.
They’re comedians… they may well collaborate for something relatively one off (or not but I’d be surprised) but they’re likely relying on their audience who are musicians to ‘get’ that this is a little whimsy. All likelihood is they’re doing a massive rebrand/ pulling a Tryguys and putting their content behind a paywall due to rising gripes with TH-cam for creators. Perhaps I&J are coaching them with that as the OG comedic classical music duo.
Great, thanks, it helps. We can only speculate at this point about the 'true' reasons. I am curious however whose point may be the true one. Our newer video on the subject is here on why they would appear with I&J in their announcement: th-cam.com/video/8v92aHgqa24/w-d-xo.html Please feel free to check it out if you haven't done so already. There is also a poll to find out what the community thinks about this: th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjI6WJdmEWYGkM_LN2qL9PMU6SPdNWahW. Thank and all best!
"buzzing with excitement"???? Uhhh NOPE
Haha, good catch!
Maybe they got sued- I know one of them was sick for a while too
Yes, we won't really know until we here from them. We released a new video with fan reactiins, etc, and there is a poll on our channel under Community tab to vote on their announcement...
THank you for the video, can someone tell me where I can find the video with twoset and igudesman & joo pls ?
It is on I&J Instagram. It is in full in this video, however.
hehA~ The Cosmos are onto zxsomething ;)
That's surely true...
If they are going switch to live streams, I'm out of luck anyways.
We don't think so. We are working on a video to demystify their disappearance and present all the theories in an intelligent way, as much as possible. Stay tuned and please consider subscribing if you haven't done so already. Thanks!
they arent gone forever !!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!
The narrator is cringe
Thanks for the feedback. We will try to work on that.
Ms./Ms. Classical Music News---- who are you, exactly? You write like a PR person so I wonder if they hired you to keep up the interest until they're back with something new. If so, this scheme does nothing more than make their fans angry.
Haha, yes, I am their Pr until they are back!! Hilarious!
@@ClassicalMusicNews That's quite an over-reaction, don't you think?
@@ClassicalMusicNews p.s. Just checked your website, and almost all your content is Twoset. Interesting.
I miss twosetviolin 😢
Yes, many people do so. I think they know it and will have to break the silence soon. We are watching it closely and will keep you posted. Meanwhile, we are working on a TwoSet Marathon video to give an overview of their entire legacy from early days till now. Stay tuned...
I hate these ai channels
Hate is a destructive emotion. You can always choose to watch what you like. There is a lot of content on TH-cam to choose from.
@@ClassicalMusicNews yeah, but ai slop is over running every platform. Even if it's someone's second language, I'd rather hear a human voice than a soulless robot
@@Parmetheus Just, do not listen to AI channels. Find humans... it's as easy as it is.
FourSetQuartet real?
Sort of, so far:)
Never heard of the other two
Well, they are much less known and have much smaller fan base...
They've been famous for years.
What is the music at the beginning of the video ..
Beethoven's fifth Symphony, first movement.
Ahora serán Dos violines, guarden este tweet hahahaha
Well can be. Let's see...
