SIGHTREADING VIOLIN DUETS IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE! 

It's so hard to hide a mistake especially if your partner has *perfect pitch.*

*And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what give them the right to roast others.*

I love how the higher the notes are the higher Brett’s eyebrows go

7:44 Brett’s that one kid in orchestra that keeps playing after everyone has stopped

the editor deserves a medal because as someone who doesn't know much about music I feel like thats what makes it 100x more enjoyable

them: giggling suprised expressions indicating that theyre screwing up me: *not understanding anything but is entertained anyway*

You know when Brett moves more and Eddy moves less it's getting hard

I love the harder the pieces progresses the more they bend down closer the music 😂😂

who’s staring at the screen sightreading w them 🙋🏻‍♀️

i love how when they mess up they go to the next level

Nice to know that no matter the instrument we all lean in super close to the music when sight reading as if that's gonna save us!!!

I am the only one who quickly forgot about the challenge and just ended up enjoying the music watching this video ??

13:32 The way they count in sync and Eddy does a sharp sniff and they lift their bows to play. PERFECT. Just so satisfying to watch.

In case anyone wants to look up the pieces Level 1 - Pleyel, Opus 8, Duet IV, Romance - Bartok, Violin Duets Opus 44, Maypole Dance Level 2 - Leclair, 6 Sonatas for 2 Violins, Opus 3 No. 1 Allegro - Stamitz, Opus 27, Duetto I, Allegro Level 3 - Fuchs, Opus 55, 20 Duets for 2 Violins, No. 2 Langslam, Wehmütig - Mazas, Opus 38, No. 5 Rondo Allegro (my personal favourite) Level 4 - Reger, Drei Duos Opus 131 b, No. 2 Vivace - Berwald, Duo Concertant in A Major, Adagio con espressione Level 5 - Honneger, Sonatine for 2 violins, III. Allegro moderato - Moszkowski, Opus 71, Suite I, Allegro energico Happy listening!

Me seeing level 1: ok seems easy enough... Me seeing level 2: *yeets already broken violin out of window*

me as a pianist: sight reads both staff simultaneously

11:06 Brett casually sightreading all those accidentals perfectly on the first try....like how?? *confused screaming*

"That's a lot of accidentals." - understatement of the year.

At 7:44 Brett’s face looks like someone saying, “I have NO IDEA how I’m doing this, but I physically cannot stop now. I’m too far.” 😂

For people who aren’t musicians: + = left hand pizz, which is hard to do since you are using your left hand for notes at the same time ︶ = legato, which means they have to play the notes included in that legato in the same bow movement . = if it’s over the note it means staccato, or with emphasis 0 = played with an empty string (no fingers on the string) 4 = played with 4th finger on the string before I know this isn’t everything, but I hope this helped edit: please see replies for better music advice

Ling Ling can play both parts at the same time.

The logic of this: - makes mistake -moves on the next level

Who chooses the music for these challenges? They deserve a medal!

I love the windows sound effect when someone messes up lol

Me, a German: langsam, wehmütig Brett: langSAMM vuh vuhMUTTIG

While the purely comedic videos are wonderful, my favorite content you guys produce is things like this where you're playing seriously but with a light-hearted challenge, like sight-reading.

So great when you play duets !! Thumbs up for more Eddy&Brett duets !

If their duet while sight reading is this good, Imagine how *A M A Z I N G* the live concert will be 🥺 time to save up some money and go practice now 😤💪🏻

why's everyone talking about them flexing lol this is what they do for a living.

As a pianist, it’s so weird seeing both lines in treble clef

Mr. Perfect Pitch and Mr. Perfect Pizz- the best duet!!!

i like how much you guys stress practicing, because practicing can lead to pay-off like this. most people tend to just look at other people who are good at something and forget that a lot of effort went into that, and this is one of the places where that hardwork is mentioned again and again.

Hey - this comment is gonna get buried, but I wanted to let you know that I started learning guitar a month ago at the age of 27. The last time I played an instrument was clarinet at 9. You have inspired me to challenge myself, practice 40 hours a day, and enjoy music in a way that I never thought possible. Y'all keep being y'all!

me: i have no fear *one of their bow almost poke each other's eye* me: i have one fear

Sometimes i forget that they’re actually professionals.....

The "+"symbol is just a short trill/mordent...not a left hand piz in baroque music.

Can you play at my wedding. Ok Now quick I need to find someone to marry.

I get a notification that TwoSet uploads. At 12 am. Me (An Australian): Oh they must have a different time zone Also me: Wait... they live in Australia too... wh- why?

The classic “I played the wrong note let me slide to the right pitch” 😭😭

I love how Brett isn’t crying looking at the lh pizz cuz he the perfect pizz boi

Last time I was this early, Brett didn’t have a viola

Can you try playing something you know, but you have to look at the wrong notes while still playing right.

Whenever I used to sight read, I would immediately cry right after. Not because I was sad, mad etc, it’s cause I would legit not blink. I felt if I blinked I would lose my spot in the music haha. Edit: Eddy and Brett flexing on us so hard. Even got the dynamics too. Level 4 and 5 though 😂

What I noticed was that for Level 1, and a little bit of Level 2, is that Brett and Eddy started off at a certain tempo, then halfway through they rushed that tempo even though there were no tempo changes for both pieces. They basically said "let's go faster" mentally lolol

Probably someone already mentioned... but Leclair‘s „+“ means a trill! French baroque‘s trick

Hello, welcome to another episode of TwoFlexViolin.

Twoset is legit saving classical music ! Thank you guys for your amazing creativity !

6:36 Brett: Smiling like a maniac Eddy: Looking very intense and just 😡

Two set in a different video: “you can’t just randomly duet with someone. You need to rehearse etc etc” *proceeds to provide a beautiful duet by just sightreading”. (For the most part :P)

At 4:03, who else thought of Mulan? *Dishonour! Dishonour on your whole family!" *Dishonour on you, dishonour on your cow.....*

They sound SO good together. Edit: in other news, water is wet and the sky is blue

Never knew a sightreading video can put a smile on my face.

If you can flex on your own, you can flex together~😍😎

At 7:41, Brett harnessed the power of Ling Ling for a brief second.

I can't even read music. I just laugh when you guys laugh and shout when you guys shout

this reminded me that i have zero musical talent

For the first time I don't want to see them shredding because I really want to listen to the whole piece.

Loved how you misread the trills into left hand pizzicatos on the Leclair duets making it super ling ling level.

As a German, I spat out my water and started choking at "lAngSam, wehMUTIG" Also, I find it incredible how you can sightread like that and shriek like a little girl when you make a mistake 🤣

1:42 I instantly fell in love with the sound & had to look it up.

Everyone: these musicians are amazing it sounds beautiful!!!!! Eddy and Brett: omg that was so horrible

This is a terrific FLEX video 🔥 We should always have this Flex Fridays 💖

Came for the playing stayed for Brett's facial expressions

I love it when they're just having fun playing and keep going just because. It's fun. So rare to see two people with similar amount of talents and experiences friends with each other for so long and they even made a channel together for years. Most of my friends with the same amount of talent and experiences ended up being a rival and we couldn't really be that close.

I've watched this several times but can't get over 4:42 when they simultaneously went "wooooh" while playing lol I love them so much.

When you know that playing piano tiles is the closest you'll ever get to their talent

Anybody else waiting for the video with the tiny violin’s?

you can really tell they enjoy playing together!! also brett looked extremely smiley in this video :)

Let’s just appreciate the upbow staccato at 9:42 And the glorious chord at 11:36

3:23 so we're not gonna talk about how his mistake literally made him jump from fear?😂 "Feeear the C#"

Whoever edits Twoset's video, thank you for overworking☺️ Make sure you get night pay

I love the fact that when you violinists accidentally play a semitone lower or higher you slide to the correct note, while us, pianists, are just screwed lol And also we sightread bass and tremble cleff simultaneously and that is too much for my little poor brain xD

They do more dynamics in 1 bar (in SIGHT reading) than my whole wind orchestra in a 6 page piece lol 😂

8:28 that's actually a good point about sight reading

The two of you playing together is absolutely beautiful. I love every second of it. and you're sight reading no less.

They play it with no metronome, wow. And that's pretty accurate

i remember someone requesting this video in the comments, they really be listening to us!

Brett and Eddy playing duet together? MATCHING MERCH TOGETHER? am i in heaven? 🤤

Me: Damn he's on a flow Brett: 7:52 Me: THats WhAT iM sAyINg

I just love their focused faces. Brett looks like he’s sleeping on his violin and Eddie looks calm somehow.

14 mins of sight-reading? Lingling can do it for 40 hrs.

Impressive, but can you sightread without looking?

lmao when brett said 'you're so screwed' when eddy saw the left hand pizz 😂

I love how aggressive Eddy’s face and actions were at the start of the video

“It isn’t about not getting a single note wrong” This quote is from a (I think) later episode and y’all just... just... NO

when you keep refreshing youtube, so you dont need a notification

I'm happy to just watch you both play difficult pieces and flex.

I like how Eddy is always scared of *left-hand pizzicato!*

Watching this in 2021. Thanks for making us happy, guys 💕

i love how they do't take themselves so seriously. obv they want to play well, but making mistakes not such a big deal 🥰

This kind of videos where you play together are so satisfying to watch, please make more!

Bretts skin look so clear and refreshing. He does not look" dead inside "today......

I almost never comment, but I had to. I love to hear you play and Brett looked so cute during the video

In the Leclair, the + denotes a short trill. Remember, Leclair was a baroque composer.

TwoSetViolin, the best youtube channel and that's a FACT

For some reason I followed Brett's part the whole time I don't know why Maybe because he started with first violin

I love when yall fully showcase your talents 👏 Brett is Ling and Eddy is also Ling. Two set is just a fusion of both Lings! 👏😂

I adore listening to you playing together! You are so connected and have such a great relationship!

4:29 Holy shit! This piece got me. It's so good! It's got this bittersweet feeling about it, and I love it.

Some of you say ‘I watch this and I don’t even play violin’ You know what? *I DONT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH I AM FUCKIN RUSSIAN AND I STILL WATCH THEM*
