RU-vids drunk again

Well I’m neither😂😂😂😭😭😭

@Cat Lady Lover u have a cute cat as well lol

Its for focus 😪

why is this me

i feel personally attacked

I felt that 😔

I felt this

Yes

omg me

Me before joining band in middle school

Leng Du XD

Was asking myself this same thing hahaha

The most underrated comment here.

Oh my gosh this is the truest thing I’ve ever seen.

Atonal composers, killing orchestra member's will to live every day: *Coughs*

guitarists like, what's the problem, i'll just move my capo :p

Liszt: *laughs in 6 sharps*

Kat The Fallen Human Me. I’m that someone.

I'm that person 😅

Kat The Fallen Human that would be me

that's me

its totally me hahah

Better than four sharps!

Reidenouer Family ehhhh I’d prefer four sharps to four flats

@@sam1286 I find it easier to play back rather than forward. It's probably just a mental thing, though. Or visual: Sharps are prickly on the page, whereas flats are round and gentle.

Sam honestly same here, E major's not too bad, A flat major is just death lmao

Lol four flats is a piece of cake, but I'ma flute player soooo

Sounds like something mine would say too hahahah

These guys are definitely not Americans. 😂 Australian maybe, but definitely not American. I like their accents though!

ARMY lol that sounds like what mine would say too

@@diamondunicorn2298 yes our boomer parents should never know the videos we watch

@@truthfullytricia934 ye theyre aussie

ASA flute player, Ab is the easier key signature XD So are Eb, Bb, and C

Lol you said what I was thinking

yep

I'm going to have to try that one...

relatable :")

Sameee

*plays a G* sorry it looked like C...

_"But the notes are too small.... It looks like an A... I got lost in the sheet music... excuse me, how do I play this? Is this a rest? Do I repeat this part?"_ - me to my (surprisingly patient) teacher every lesson

This is a heavily underrated comment, I give you a like despite being a musician myself

I nearly choked then i saw this comment. It just made my day . Thanks

I had to read it a second time to understand this that’s funny 😆😂

This is the greatest comment ever

Explain

@e u • haha

pls don't

Lol

Ill buy it the. Lol

😂

@@1ily777 literally me. i was playing one of his waltz. it starts with 5 sharps, then modulates to 6 flats second movement (facepalm)

Chopin - C major? Nea.

Pianists: *laughs in black key etude*

@Theresa Bui (705TheBui) as a pianist sharps vs flats make no difference...as a string player sharps make all the difference:)

we tried to play chopin in my school (7th and 8th grade orchestra) it was horrible like 2nd note and the director stopped us

so true😂😭

true!

Thats was totally me in middle school I would get 1st chair at everything even beat 10 8th graders when I was a seventh grader for festival. My classmates were like how are you that good ppl are like cause he takes his instrument home everyday but I never take it home during the week only the weekend so Im just gr8.

@@reitersul586 I never knew what it was like not being in the front row cause Im always 1st chair or play the first part.

@@reitersul586 yeah ik its a different seating arrangment for orchestra than band cause my brother plays viola but I personally love being in front.

Katy yes u are very lucky!

Me as a percussionist and classical guitarist: You have become the very thing you swore to destroy.

RandomDisneyVideos I dont play mallets or the piano often. Im mostly drums, but good point!

@@katy-re2ch as a mallet player, I miss not having to worry about the sheet music

I sent my friend a clip from the TwoSet Among Us video ("Maybe someone just keeps reading the wrong accidental." "But how? Two times." "Maybe they're just stupid.") and she said, "I mean it's not like a percussionist would understand 🙄✋" and I just about died laughing.

me 2!! but youth orchestra.

otaku nerd I was waiting for someone to say that thx

cute profile pic 😔✌🏼

@@yaohuacheng4250 sure!

Lmao the sad face xDxD why did you stop posting vids tho?

@@da96103 LoLOIoL

Best comment ever 👌👏

Lmaoo

@@yayayayapewpew i am so confused

@@eupsychics8167 i meant it was so funny and on point 😄

haha yeeah, sightreading my ass xD they just practiced so much, that they memorized all the violin pieces in the world 🤣🤣

Hail number notes ! 😂

Tmvnzz ea sieg?

The first bar??? Try the first note!!!

*Laughs in bass clef*

Me: Doesnt even know what a bar is

Ed Same! I think they played better when they played together?

right!!! it really enhanced the Comradery of sightreading in an orchestra bc it was like watching stand partners sightread

It actually sounded pretty good for the most part too!

Dare I say it??? *“Music to my ears”*

It's like having a personal performance by the duo.

With 40hrs a day, expect you're at Ling Ling level by now!

Im 30 amd i wanna take it up just to have something to do around the house after work

Go for it. I'm considering taking myself back to private lessons now that my children are grown and I'm fairly solid in my career.

Well my last comment was 2 months ago and partly due to a convo thread with another TwoSetter but mostly thanks to two guys called Brett & Eddy, I'm now seriously considering it myself, Matt. Have done lots of online research and found a luthier who rents a violin for £17.50 a month! In the meantime I've constructed a bow 'end' to practice my hold so when I try out my eldest son's viola (that he was gifted but doesn't play) I'll have an idea of whether to make that start. Yes, insanely difficult but in 15yrs I should be well beyond 'Twinkle, twinkle' Lol

I took Up the violin when i was 48 now 57 years old and i can tell You unless you have Lots and lots of patience and preserverance there are dark days ahead. Actually even with those qualities it is no walk in the park Either. Depending on how much time you have Available to Practice roughly the first 5 years are the Hardest i wanted to quit often during Those 5 years. But it is one of those things where You Sound awful and then suddenly one day it all falls into Place and its magic!! The key ingredient needed here is the passion for the music that will male you push through.

They had been playing for 20 years by this point, so they had lots of practice!

They've been playing violin for more than 20 years, including in orchestra and string quartets. Their brain is trained to compute what they hear very fast. Plus Eddy has perfect pitch, it makes it much easier for him to instantly detect notes that are out of tune.

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia what is perfect pitch?

Rey card imagine you see a color with your eyes, and you instantly know what color it is. You don’t have to think; you just go: “oh that’s blue because it’s blue.” From what I understand, perfect pitch is like that but with hearing notes. so like *rips a massive fart* someone with perfect pitch: “oh thats a G flat(ulence)”

@Berkeley Fertig I just wanted to inform you that your comment sounds slightly condescending.

@Berkeley Fertig Self-awareness/10 😄

4th grade recorder flashbacks

Davie504

So grovvy that's 3rd grade

lingling is getting moist

same bruh you live in the east?

Same man, same :)

Confused in pianist

Welp I’m a pianist, but my friend plays a violin so I kinda know what’s going on 😂

Who's rem

I play fucking trumpet

Eggsplain, rem uwu. Don't leave me, a former classical guitarist, hanging.

🤣🤣🤣 exactly

Great comment tho

Lol

Sex.

playing the piece isnt praticing

Lmao this comment didn't age well 🤣😷

It's like the America's got talent contestants

Ling Ling wins every competition just by showing up.

Winter Ling Ling is the Asian kid that plays better than you do because they practice 40 hours a day.

I was literally abt to make this exact same comment

It's my first Ling Ling joke and 839 likes?! That's overwhelmingly the most I've ever got! Thank you people!

I understand everything (Damn im cocky)

Kipp0 init 😂

@@viggos.n.5864 me2

If you dont understand anything... let's say they read the notes for the first time😂

I was looking for this comment 😭😭

Do viola's ever sound like they do anything else?

Lmao this is an underrated comment

this reminds me of when they sight read the ysaye sonatas and eddy chose the odd numbers because he said brett’ll do a better job lmao

kyaaa I mean that too and ysaye’s 3rd sonata is the most famous so Eddy chose odd because he already knows the third

Bc Eddy can be guided by his ear and perfect pitch if he’s remotely familiar with the piece and Brett can rely on muscle memory and good accuracy w/ sight reading 👌

I actually did that once, i like never showed up to practise for like 3 months

My class sightreads in class. We sounded like crap but it was fun

But, I thought you were a wizard Harry?

Step 1: hide in 2nd violin. Step 2: play all the slow parts. Step 3: pretend to play fast parts. Step 4: profit!!

GUYS UNDER THE CITY oh my, 3 months? Why did you do

@春のHitomi this needs to happen 😂

Or some autographs they gave lol.

lazulley that would big oofs

fucking hell

Grossssss

Arielle Maliwat you can learn, it’s not that hard if you enjoy it

neither do i. although sometimes i can hear that the note they played was wrong. like it doesnt make sense in the sequence that was formed

Its interesting to watch but i play the viola... those notes are tuff... 16th notes suckkk is you chage notes... cuz you literally throwing up gang signs to get the notes

Jay yes the fuck it is bro

Arielle Maliwat oh, it’s so much better when you understand what the heck is happening

ITS AN EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Joshua Darragh AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Or an Fb in the music. Scary.

AGREED

*screams in flute*

白刀 I mean...they are professional violinists sooo! :))

Entire orchestra: **turns around**

Me a piano player: *is horrible at sight reading* My teacher: Really now, you can’t be that bad Me: just plays from memory and doesn’t look at music half the time

hahahaha so true!!!

As a piano player, I must agree. In an online lesson yesterday, I had to sight read something, and i said to my teacher “but miss!!! I cant sight read these crazy chords in the bass AND the crazy melody AT THE SAME TIME!!!” She gasped and said “you’re a piano player you should be able to sight read treble and bass at the same time!”

I'm a guy that plays the piano and i suck a lot on sight-reading two staves.

You should change your name to 1000 instead of Million first mate. 😂

1,000,000 subs 0 videos challenge 👀

266 subs lmao fucking noob

Taxonomic Quantum u have 13 tff he has wayyy more than u, u should delete that comment

Yeah I'm a clarinet so I'm like ok.....

Don’t you mean the ONLY impressive, difficult, intellectual, and entertaining youtube challenge?

@@hurrikane5562 I hate that you're right lmfao

Those are some big words

Sorry, what grade are you in?

@@aba___rst me? im a high schooler lmao

yeah I figured it would have been strange for Mozart to suddenly get rid of the tremolo just to bring it back the next measure

Those are the real moments

That's why i take piano lessons

Those are the beat moments

They are crazy-good.

I can't like cause of 69 (nice)

Tandem

Harp Irish I’m a cello and I was placed in the front desk of an adults orchestra at the age of 13 ( purely because my aunt was first cello not becuse I am slightly talented ) and when I say sight read I mean I sat back and turned pages while pretended to know wich line she was on

Keely Hayes-Davies same. Even though I took mostly all the music classes when I was in high school: ledger line notes still throw me off. It’s a hassle

Ledger lines are the bane of my existence

And then they write it in tenor clef when I get many ledger lines.

*flutes, piccolos and clarinets cry in corner*

@Emily Schulte-Slifkin i don't, but my flute teacher has a friend who has a contrabass flute and she loves it, but is always complaining!!

Colity Quantent "dehuh AHH!"

Literally 😂

Literally me

same

Facts

Me: confused in hasn’t played an instrument since kindergarten Also me: still watches it

min - jenna - covers - vids It is known!

Are they still shitting on that fastest violin in the world guy

This is a great comment. Good job, my friend.

But honestly mood, I forget key signatures all the damn time

That some guy must be straussing out

Hahahaha this is so true

Лол нах

chia seed LITERALLY I WAS ABOHT TOSAY THAT

Yes sameness

I'm not going to lie I was actually more interested with the music than ballet. that's why I join ballet.

that makes me vv happy :)

Same!!!

I'm a trumpet so I love notes up there. Even if I can't play them well.

I too am a measly French horn player and I cry haveing to play anything higher than a high A

Mae Weatherwax that’s a whole mood I haven’t played in like 5 months cuz of summer and marching season and it’s coming back to haunt me I can only play up to a C D;

I have to play a septuplet thing from a low A to high A and Im gonna cry bc there are SO MANY HIGH Fs LIKE CALM THE F DOWN we are playing Minor Alterations (Christmas edition) and I feel so bad for the woodwinds

*laughs in clarinet*

I know right

Not happening

Wot? I used to play piano, now trumpet, and sight reading is stupid easy...

@@rigor.m9422 how long have you played

@@rigor.m9422 my issue is that when I don't know what it sounds like each fingering has the potential to be like five orore different notes whereas on violin you can't accidentally lip slur up when you don't know what to play

welcome to the cult. my name is blaize, french hornist with bronchitis is my game. what can I do for you

Hi I’m Hannah I play cello and this is a cult ok JOIN OR DIE

Ben Ploni I’m a musician and I don’t know if I should take that offensively or not

Tuff-Potato-Head Aah a fellow cello in the cult, it has been a while since I have spotted one Also welcome to our world OP

Just so you know, someone screenshot your comment and put it on this channel's subreddit. You are famous, now. 😄

Peyton O'Shaughnessy you got this!!

It's just training reading notes .....u can do it

The import part is that you’re working on it- these guys didn’t get to where they are now without work

It helps when it's a well known tune, you can bridge gaps in the sight-read from just remembering how it supposed to sound. They would have been at least vaguely familiar with this, as it's one of those tunes every classical musician has heard many times during his education.

This is late but, you got this!!!!

and brett start to sing and jump when eddy is playin at 9:58

*more alive

I think he's happier because he's less stressed from traveling and touring for the concerts they did :)

for girls its called "blooming"😂😂😂

I thought I'm the only who think about that

My heart goes uwu --

Lilith Mary no they read like professional violinists and percussionists not paying attention in the back

Omg me

SOOOO ME

As a pianist, violist, and former violinist, I can tell you with confidence that four flats on violin is way harder than four flats on piano. even five sharps would be better for a violinist than four flats.

A. Zhang chill that was just a joke... dont take it too serious!

😂😂

I can read notes but not like them. Their eyes are so sharp than mine

That's what over 20 years of playing does to you

You can train your sightreading abilities ... if you know your instrument and you do a lot of sightreading (after 20 years on the same instrument it is quite managebale) - and don't forget: They are professional musicians!

So am I

Practice 40 hours a day for 20 years. Still won't get to that level.

You mean extremely stressed and tense from all the concentration ;)

*anime eyes*

SPINEL!!

Deidara Akatsuki AYYYY

I Read letters for the piano 😂😂😂😂

Honestly

I am a pianist as well but aight reading is the death of me

Also as a pianist, I’m actually pretty good and used to sight reading (lol not like arrogantly but ya know) but this?!?! Yea they are amazing like how

Sight reading is key! I practice sight reading here and there because it's already difficult enough to see two measures at once.

EmPlayzGamez And playing skills. And skills in general. Just time to feel bad I think ._.

I like how your profile picture totally matches the comment

what an appropriate pfp

@@valeaves I feel you

I take like on hour to decipher one sheet i'm ashamed

Try without ever playing an instrument at all in my whole damn life. Yeah 👍😊
