Non-Violinist Friends Try to Play the Violin 

I was honestly impressed she played the violin very well

I just loved how much like a boss she said order my bubble tea

I am a cellist too and cellist normally learns violin very fast(at least in my case

Minjin is the new main character of this channel, tbh

She is the definition of carry

Poor Emma lol

Can i do that but with major in college?

@@yumine_ bit too late, lol. Tho if you have to, then do it! I know lots of people who changed majors and were better off for it.

@@oxoelfoxo yeah no I'm in my 4th year so the only way to get out of here is by graduating 🤣 wish me luck!

@@yumine_ Good Luck! and hopefully you'll find a job that makes you happy

Sorry but it's Eddy

and also when Minjin started showing off😂

I just watch it again after seeing your comment🤣

she plays harp which is technically a string.

@@germahzy but I don’t think vibrato is a thing on harp, im not a harpist tho

@@NumorousPhases it is i think, also not harpist, but more like guitar rather than the up down of violin

​@@NumorousPhases it is. shaking the harp gives it a wide vibrato

as a harpist no no we can’t vibrato it scares us

Ode to Joy was actually insane

@@ratwithahat2 frrrr

i wonder if she's a teacher who's just used to listening to terrible renditions of a piece by students who don't practice

@@trashcan9153 spot on

I know right! Her skill is truly amazing!

Emma is gorgeous.

That was so cute

@@enshk79 Phoebe is more gorgeous :s

I thought Phoebe was just a roast master, but actually she is very good at words, not only roast but motivational words too. What a great person.

@@dalmacietis It's not a matter of who is more beautiful, though.

yess hahahaha i was laughing my head of at that

@@prism5720 😂😂😂

i commented that too-

And then, Eddie saved violin Chan, and they both stared in awkward silence in the moment of romance.

Nah cuz I get so scared whenever someone holds my violin

wow!

Whoa. Didn’t know. Nice share!

Many people don't realise that Brett and Eddy's musician friends are all accomplished and successful in their field. Just because they enjoy fooling around on RU-vid doesn't mean they're clowns. It just shows that most classical musicians aren't arrogant elitist pricks, they like to have fun like everyone else. (There definitely are elitist pricks in the classical world, like in every field, but it's not the majority. And Brett and Eddy wouldn't be friends with such people anyway.) Alex studied at the same music uni as TwoSet, him and Brett graduated the same year with honors. He's performed all over the world and has been the Artistic Director of a music festival for years. Same for Phoebe who has been the Principal Double Bass in several orchestras. Same for Hyung (their other cellist friend) who studied at Julliard and used to work with Brett in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Same for Georgii (one of their violinist friends) who won the Grumiaux Competition and is a contestant for the Queen Elisabeth Competition this year. And I could go on and on and on...

So, what is called on a guitar or bass guitar a slide, is called glissando in classical music? Or is it just violin and other fretless instruments?

@@thecommenternobodycaresabout its called a glissando pn every instrument

The rythm was a bit similar to be honest.

@René Damn u Italian too? I'm Italian lol

@René ooooooh!

He hasn’t practiced the violin in years yet he can still play it decently

@Sankalp Gupta "I can't even think in tune" okay but why is this such a mood? u_u

He even reproduced it in another tone than Eddy's

As a pianist, you get to sit in a lot of lessons for other instruments when you’re accompanying them, and it’s surprising how much you can pick up.

Alex was amazing in another TwoSet game where he very quickly recognized pieces that were garbled. He’s amazing.

Yes, 😢especially to play it fast back to the high Eb

@@ILoveMath_Cats_Coding D#, it's in G# minor because no one writes in Ab minor (7 flats, so its relative major would be Cb major which is just B major)

It should've been written Ab minor because of all those F double sharps, which would become Gs.

Yes pls. I need LingLing Symphony

YASSSSSSSS

@@nicoangelo9928 Me too! They’d be rehearsing 40hrs a day tho 🤣

I was going to say don’t give them ideas... but I don’t think anyone in their right mind would say anything against this!

yes

I KNOW RIGHT, SHE LOOKS SO CLASSY

I thought I was the only one who noticed that 🤣🤣🤣

A new idea for Twoset apparel 🧋🧋

@@user-dh8vv8dd7f ^ Yes please!

YES

The teams were stacked so unevenly, Brett didn’t even get a telepath.

ok that's the best one so far

Well, she's a cellist, many of the techniques are similar for all the strings instruments (except the harp, of course, which is why Tijana was having such a hard time...). Plus she seems to have a very good ear !

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopediahahahah as a cellist who has tried violin, we got our violinist friend to review my playing and she’s successfully guessed all the pieces I tried 😂I played like concertos and all that

Yes I know it..Wednesday till Sunday youtube upload, everyday upload on tiktok and prepare for virtual concert..Take care Brett & Eddy~

I don't complain, but is worried about Brett going sick again.

@@xandraxandra1437 mee too, gotta pray Brett gonna beok

@@xandraxandra1437 I don't think their filming schedule made him sick before, I think he tried to convince himself he wasn't sick so he could keep filming. After that experience, I doubt either one of them will ignore even the slightest symptoms of illness.

@@elissahunt Not the filming schedules only of course, but the heavy workload with videos, clothes, practising. I hope they've learned and take care of themselves.

Alex has been the accompanist in some of Twoset's videos (I'm noting the meme but classical compositions here) Phoebe, Emma, and Tijana all taught Twoset their respective instrument for an hour and had their playing featured Minjin was in the string quartet video and the latest Among Us one I believe but am not completely sure Kang was in one of the musician blind date videos? I didn't watch those all the way through 😅

They should have played something by Gershwin on their actual instruments at the end of this video.

You can check the playlist "TwoSet Violin and their friends" on my channel, you'll find videos of all of them, except for Kang who had never appeared on the channel before. (Can't give you the direct link because of the spam filter, but you just have to click on my pfp.)

"Bet you can't play this (piece) on the violin" with TwoSet trying to repeat what everyone played on their own instrument. Eddy perhaps relying only on his perfect pitch, Brett supported with sheet music to be fair.

Kang Wang is a pretty good opera singer.

Spot on comment. LOL

But Alex did a great job with La Campanella! I can't believe he had only one year in violin.

Minjin would've probably handed Brett and Eddy's asses to them in Violin Charades lol

It is not even a piece

It's one thing to recognise the piece and know it, but another to actually play it.

actually they aren’t beginners. they are all musicians which means they have a head start. i’ve played on my friends viola as a cello player and i was able to play decently (like the cello player here lol!)

Yeah. He had a stronger team as well

@@newbie4789 Yeah Alex did a wonderful job with the violin. Didn't expect at all, especially when he said he had only one year in violin!

Their typical selves - Eddy being competitive while Brett just enjoying the game. 😂

he did the same thing in their "interacting" with AI video lmao

he wasn't helpful at first lol, but decided to help tijana bc she was struggling a lot xD

yea, and phoebe be stopping brett like every single time he tries to help XD loving her

Yeah. And during Brett's Team, Eddy was like "NO! You can't ask questions or talk!!" And then Eddy's team comes out and is like "So, this is the rhythm and the first note is vibrato" :-P

LOL

Minjin: Skillz

Who?

@@Dominicb6 Tijana plays the harp

Not really. Team Brett did have quite an advantage. Team Brett had one string player, one piano player who knew enough about violin to reproduce pitches and one player who could at least somewhat hold the bow and produce notes somewhat around the right ones. Team Eddy had one string player and two players who had absolutely no idea how to hold the instrument.

@@TheVoitel I agree that’s why I said “relatively”

This was not set up as totally random. Smart as they are, Brett and Eddy put, what they thought were equally level musicians, against each other. So there was one string player, one string (but harp or pianist), and one other. Teacher trick. Make it look totally random but actually it's not :)

@@TheVoitel but Eddy had Minjin. Enough said

it is always Rock paper scissors

As someone (above) pointed out, they were using their 'old' violins... but still. Panic moment for Eddy...

He still has his priorities straight, violin is #1

Came here to make this exact post.

The most famous piece by Bach which is not by Bach…

@Sankalp Gupta His most famous piece is undoubtedly Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 which is his original composition. It's his. I don't think La campanella is 'his' most famous piece.

@@jrexx2841 he also did write the piano piece la Campanella, didn’t he? Using the composition of someone else doesn’t make it their composition, does it? Especially when the feel is so different. Feels like it would be wrong to say it’s “by Paganini.” I usually hear “Paganini-Liszt, or just “Liszt.” It’s not like it’s a straight transcription. I’m not as familiar with the violin concerto movement as I am with the Liszt piece though, so I may be wrong here about how much is musically borrowed…

@@pookz3067 I don't know either but when we talk about original composition, it's definitely not Lizst's. The way I think of it is Lizst's La campanella is merely a version or a cover of Paganini's, not a variation or inspiration piece.

Pretty sure Alex died a little when Eddy started playing La Campanella

His face tho 😂: “they’ll never get it”

For such a skilled pianist, transposing on the spot is probably a piece of cake. But as for him being able to play in tune on an instrument he learned for only 1 year a long time ago... either he has a phenomenal memory or he has been secretly practicing violin ! 😁

I thought my musical ear failed me for a minuet (see what I did there?), but yeah he did actually transpose to D!

in violin to transpose a piece you only need to start the piece in a different place

Transposing from G to D is easy, until you need to reach for that elusive B string.

I mean… Pretty much all pianists can do that XD we can transpose any piece to any key and keep the intonation right

Ngl it starts to sound like it at some point

It's got that schmear at the beginning.

bold of you to assume paganini is in heaven rn

@@lauraiwamoto204 Lmao

@@lauraiwamoto204 He gets permission from the devil do visit Liszt

Cage: not playing anythin

@@lauraiwamoto204 Nice one!

Yes - that’s what I thought it was going to be at first, but now I realize it’d be too easy - everyone would play the piece well.

@@PalKrammer realistically only Eddy would as he's the only one who can know what the note is. They'd be going off of relative pitch alone

@@bluejay9638 high level musicians all know the same pieces. At least in passing. They’d know how to mock it up at least. Relative tones is enough to get the gist.

I'd love to see an opera version of la campanella

Jesus Christ died for your sssssinssss

Yes, they never fail to bring a smile to my face

what do you mean, the jazz of violin? Gershwin is Jazz

@@fredhasopinions yeah but you don't typically play jazz on violin (if it is more common I'd love some suggestions) and it's a good excuse to cover up mistakes.

@@ShelahirKrynn You should check Stéphane Grapelli, he's probably the most famous jazz violinist. He had an incredible ability to improvise and collaborated with a lot of high-profile musicians from different backgrounds, including classical (for example, he played with Yehudi Menuhin in the 70s and 80s).

yay for tenors. I wondered what instrument he played. he didn't seem to have the extreme chaotic energy of previous singers in this channel.
