Tchaikovsky 2 Mil Drop 

"The Soloist is warming up backstage" *Distressed screaming offscreen*

7:40 - 2 falls off 12:00 - M falls off I guess that was a part of the 2M drop

This was the first classical music concert I ever attended in my pajamas.

Rewatching this after 3M coz why not

"Youre not a clown, youre the entire circus" "Youre not the soloist, youre the entire orchestra"

nobody: twoset: soloist turns accompanist's page

What I've learned throughout this live stream : - A violin can also be an orchestra - Soloist can also be a page turner for the accompanist - Soloist can talk during orchestral parts -Tapes are unstable -Live stream is the only place where we don't hear people clapping between movements -Brett and Eddy are amazing violinists

Dream do came true for Brett. He always wanted to be a soloist. And now he’s a soloist performed for almost 43k ppl!🤯 not every soloist in the world can have that much of an audience , and fact that he’s very lucky to have the best friend who played the orchestra part for him. What else could u possibly wish for?! Congrats guys!!!

Brett playing in front of the 20 most powerful people in the world: 😐 Brett playing for some random guys on the internet: 😓😖😫🤪😨😰

Baby Brett: “My dream is becoming a soloist.” Adult Brett: “Well, I just did a wholesome performance that ended with 43,000 audiences standing ovation.” (And Eddy: “And I was an entire orchestra.”) God, I love Twoset. Go go Ling Ling. ♥️

TWOSET! Don't be disheartened by the people "who left" because some of those people had to only sneak watch this while at work, or in between classes at school, or had to wake up very early in the morning, or around dawn when they themselves have to prepare to start their day. And I'm even more sure that a lot more wanted to watch this live but can't because well, life in general. I hope you understand them

Another title: Brett and eddy being surprised that people like them.

i've never seen eddy more giddy than when he was happily shaking their balloons to brett's beat

What are you going to be when you become adult? Eddy: *Orchestra*

I would pay so much to watch an orchestra where conductor: I'm starting, I'm starting! soloist: no no NOOOOOOO

who else rewatching after 4mil concert to see just how insanely far brett and eddy have grown since? both in media production and violin playing!!!!

Other youtube violinists: cover pop songs Twoset: plays an entire concerto

First movement: 7:14 Cadenza: 16:36 Second movement: 25:53 Third movement: 31:18

Ling ling only practiced 39 hours today since he used one watching this😂

I love that in the title it has 2 Mil drop and the 2 actually drops.

*bro watching them usually makes you forget that they're actually horrifyingly talented*

This was one of the coolest things the internet has ever facilitated. Epic.

as far as I'm aware... with an audience of over forty thousand, wouldn't this count as one of the largest live classical music performances in history?

Even with this sad audio quality I still love it so much, for my own reference 4:40 tuning 5:21 soloist warming up 7:17 1st mvt starts 7:40 2 drops 9:41 cute memory slip o(≧v≦)o 10:44 beautiful melody 12:00 M drop 12:33 building up so exciting 13:26 epic tutti with Brett talking and turning page 14:19 favourite part so light 16:10 Brett reattaches 2 16:46 2 drops again with the pizz 16:31 awesome cadenza 18:38 Eddy realizes he had to play 19:40 so beautiful so warming 21:09 same theme even more beautiful 22:55 fun part until the end of 1st mvt 25:45 shoulder rest drop start of 2nd mvt 25:56 con sordino 26:04 Brett makes a small bow 27:38 senza sordino 27:52 favourite soooo beautiful 28:55 shoulder rest rebels lol cute 31:18 start 3rd mvt, Brett’s fast fast fast rendition is so awesome lol. 35:13 favourite part 36:38 Eddy tuning during play 37:45 Brett humming along 38:01 sounds so beautiful 40:07 epic ending

*[TIMESTAMPS]* *--* (Before the concerto) *--* 1:01 - Reaction to getting 20k viewers 2:52 - "I think Tchaikovsky would be very happy, but then.." 4:37 - Tuning the violins 5:17 - Brett warming up real quick (With random screams) 7:07 - Shaky Bow™ *--* I.

(It's their neighbors) 42:55 - "Someone said 'encore' ...." 45:29 - "I'll have to keep that in mind for the 3 mil- what?" (I'll remember that, Eddy. Bach encore pls) 46:40 - "We'll gonna be touring soon" (Welp, it's delayed. I hope the pandemic ends soon) 47:04 - Encore: Mii Channel Theme (lmao) (Probably) final edit: I think i should make these timestamps too for the future Sibelius drop, since people seem to like these kind of timestamps. (Update after Sibelius drop): So i'm back, and i have made timestamps for Sibelius. That one is.. quite long.

“You guys talked in-between movements don’t blame us for clapping” - one live stream commenter

In case brett & eddy doesn’t hear it At 41:20 *applause* *standing ovation* *all around the world*

I still think Brett shines the most when he can flex his phrasing.

2 mil- Brett's Tchaikovsky drop 3 mil- Eddy's Sibelius drop 4 mil- Brett's Ysaye drop 5 mil- Vivaldi concerto for 4 violins ft. Hilary Hahn & Ray Chen

I can't wait for Paganini 10M

"TO PLAY A WRONG NOTE IS INSIGNIFICANT; TO PLAY WITHOUT PASSION IS INEXCUSABLE."- Eddy Chen quoting Beethoven

Who’s here after they already hit 3 million subs! 🥳

0:00 Twoset with "2M" 7:14 Allegro Moderato (D Major) 7:40 "2" drop 12:00 "M" drop 16:06 "2" back on screen again 16:47 "2" drop again 17:04 "2M" back again together 25:44 Brett's shoulder rest drop 25:52 Canzonetta: Andante (G Minor) 31:18 Finale: Allegro Vivacissimo (D Major) 47:03 Encore - Wii Music

Eddy: the soloist is warming up backstage Brett backstage: *AAAAHHSHSJSJDIDIEKSK*

I'm guessing Brett is the first musician to play the concerto for so many people LIVE? That's a pretty sweet accomplishment :) And with a one-man orchestra backing him up xD

I feel regret that I've only been a fan of TwoSet recently and missed this wonderful concerto live.

"Soloist, turn my page."

I love how the 2 mill actually dropped

For anyone who needs it: I. _Allegro moderato_ (D major) - 7:15 II. _Canzonetta: Andante_ (G minor) - 25:53 III. _Finale: Allegro vivacissimo_ (D major) - 31:18 Great job Brett (and Eddy)! We're so proud of you!

i notice how brett seems to become very immersed into the violin as he plays. it’s very much an intimate relationship between him, the violin, and the music. he cradles the violin. At the same time, eddy seems to be having so much fun as he plays. Obviously he’s focused and takes it seriously, but he seems to just be enjoying the situation so much, and you can clearly see every emotion play out on his face depending on where in the piece he is. other times they laugh and smile together, and other times they just move in sync or out of sync but harmonically (?). and finally, at certain rare points, you see plain joy in their faces because of the music. i know that feeling myself, and it’s wonderful to watch because you can see the focus in their faces, but the passion is strong enough that you can see some glimpses of that joy regardless.

These guys just got the equivalent of more than -six- [edit: SEVEN] sold-out Sydney Opera House audiences to come together all over the world and watch them play classical violin live. And then in the four hours after that, more than a quarter of a million more watched it too. *That's incredible.* Congrats, TwoSet. You have something really special here.

Twoset is single-handedly bringing classical music back to the youth

13:45 in this channel, you can even see a soloist turning page for the whole orchestra.

If Brett is smiling, you know he just succeeded a super hard part.

My children... you have made me proud. For this you can be excused one minute of practice.

For those people who couldn't watch 💕✨: Start and Brett having a heart atack: 0:01 - 7:12 Allegro Moderato - First movement: 7:14 ~ Clapping ~ Andante - Second movement: 25:52 ~ More clapping ~ Finale: Allegro - Third movement: 31:17 ~ Final Ovations and Cheers ~ Final Talk: 41:25 - 53:08 Trying to say good bye: 53:10 - 54:35 Actually ending the streaming: 54:36 - 54:48 It was an amazing concert, congratulations guys, we love you 💕💕🎉. Pd: Yeah, I know you don't clap between movements. Lol

Honestly, twoset are so genuine and actually kept a promise that was originally a joke! Props to eddy for playing the whole orchestra 👏👏👏

All their comments about sweating, shaking, feeling nervous are actually so excellent. They didn't cover anything up. This is so excellent to let young musicians know, and yet they took their courage in their hands and did it anyway. Superb 🎉🎉🎉

This felt like such an authentic musician's experience. The frantic warming-up beforehand, the freaking out, the memory slip early on followed by flawless execution thereafter, the cheeky grins at each other, asking the audience "do you guys like it?" during the orchestral tutti, the goofy dances with the balloons, dropping the shoulder rest between movements, tuning mid-performance, complaining about page turns, humming along, moaning "I don't want to start" before the fast part, broken hairs, being soaked in sweat at the end, and the immediate dissection of everything that went or almost went wrong. But most of all your absolutely infectious elation and joy that shone through the entire performance! This is what being a musician is about. This right here.

Brett almost seems like another person when he plays, he plays so contrary to his constant deadpan face

Brett when he was young: I'm gonna be a soloist one day Brett now: (just accomplished playing as a soloist in front of about 40 000 people) *roasts self *

Personally speaking as someone who has only just discovered these chaps, is the fact that you have people commenting that listening to this is their first classical music concert. I must say lads you are do the classical world a huge service. You’re taking the pretentiousness out of the genre.

regular Twoset videos: "this is what the second violin part sounds like" eddy in this video: "this is what the whole orchestra sounds like on one violin"

The 142 people who gave thumbs down to this video all work for America's Got Talent...

Eddy: Look at me, LOOK AT ME *I'm the orchestra now*

for my own reference 4:40 tuning 5:21 soloist warming up 7:17 1st mvt starts 7:40 2 drops 9:41 cute memory slip o(≧v≦)o 10:44 beautiful melody 12:00 M drop 12:33 building up so exciting 13:26 epic tutti with Brett talking and turning page 14:19 favourite part so light 16:10 Brett reattaches 2 16:46 2 drops again with the pizz 16:31 awesome cadenza 18:38 Eddy realizes he had to play 19:40 so beautiful so warming 21:09 same theme even more beautiful 22:55 fun part until the end of 1st mvt 25:45 shoulder rest drop start of 2nd mvt 25:56 con sordino 26:04 Brett makes a small bow 27:38 senza sordino 27:52 favourite soooo beautiful 28:55 shoulder rest rebels lol cute 31:18 start 3rd mvt, Brett’s fast fast fast rendition is so awesome lol. 35:13 favourite part 36:38 Eddy tuning during play 37:45 Brett humming along 38:01 sounds so beautiful 40:07 epic ending

Comment down below for 6Mil :). Also, I might be adding ur ideas onto the chart :)

It's okay editor-san. You can rest now. for today.

This must be one of the biggest classical music events ever. Cuz there's probably no concert hall able to host over 30k people at once. I think Tchaikovsky would've been proud.

Dude the way eddy nodded at Brett before they started playing together I need that kind of support and friendship

Little did we know that 2 months later, we'd all be attending classical concerts like this...

2 dudes playing Tchaikovsky's violin concerto on live stream with an audience of 40000 people from all over the world. I used to remember Linkin Park coming to Malaysia with an attendance of 20000 people in a stadium. I missed that concert but went to their concert in Olimpijsky, near Prospekt Mira, Moscow with even fewer attendance. Rachmaninov was also playing in Bolshoi Teatr with even fewer attendance. 2 dudes playing Tchaikovsky's violin concerto on live stream with an audience of 40000 people from all over the world. How the world is changing.

*The Saga of the Balloons* 7:40 - R.I.P. number 2 balloon 12:00 - R.I.P. letter M balloon 16:06 - revival of number 2 balloon 16:45 - R.I.P. number 2 balloon again 17:00 - Eddy dancing with balloons :) 18:00 - revival of letter M balloon 18:30 - "oh shit I gotta play!" R.I.P. letter M balloon

who's here right after the sibelius drop?

Talented Eddy is single-handedly playing the whole orchestra on one violin.

“Came for Brett’s Solo.. got Eddy playing a whole orchestra instead” -one live-streamer’s comment

I think at 5 mil you should have a full orchestra to accompany you

i once saw a comment saying brett plays like he's presenting the music white-gloved on a silver platter and i honestly couldn't agree more. a lot of soloists do these intense facial expressions and big body movements and gestures, whereas with brett it really feels like he doesn't want it to be about him, the music should be the main star of the show. he is just there to do the magic and bring the music out of the violin, and then make it shine as radiantly as possible. idk, that's my impression anyway, i really love that about him. (it's still really beautiful to watch play though)

**Plays a 2 man concert for over half an hour straight** Eddy: *"I nEeD tO pRaCtIcE aFtEr ThAt"*

To everyone who forgets they're actually really talented musicians: Here's your reminder & they absolutely killed it!

Brett: I'M SO NERVOUS Also Brett: *played the entire passage flawlessly and absolutely shredding it*

Eddy messing with the balloons during the cadenza represents the percussion section so well.

Take a moment to realize Eddy is being the whole orchestra

i like how eddy is so relaxed and ready to play. while brett is having a midlife crisis.

Tchaikovsky's violinist ex-bf: that concerto is completely unplayable. TwoSet: *plays the whole piece on just two violins*

you know all the jokes about "PraCticiNG" etc but only now did it just hit me what that word actually means for them like i only started violin about 2-3 years ago and always was SO proud of myself for practicing like what, about 20 minutes everyday?? but now imagining how many hours, how many YEARS of just hard and honest practice EVERYDAY they have put into their playing, being brave enough to put themselves out like this, dedicating their entire LIVES to the music - idek what my point is, except just MAD respect, like for real society needs people as dedicated to the arts as them

When Brett stops smiling, and looks like his soul has left his body... then we know, shit is now serious

Ling Ling is a hive-mind Eddy is one Ling Brett is the other Ling Together they make up Ling Ling Practices 40 hours a day and still manages to get 8 hours of sleep

If Eddy was the whole orchestra.....does that mean that HE PLAYED THE VIOLA PART?!?!

*brett litterally dying of nervousness* Eddy: *”there are fourty thousand people watching us”* Brett: *pauses* *”I didn’t get enough sleep”* Eddy: *🤨😂*

2019 Eddy : *Learns the hardest piece ever written for violin in 2 months* 2020 Eddy : *Plays the whole orchestra part on one violin* You rocked Eddy! You were aMAzing too, Brett!

LET’S FIGHT FOR EDDY’S SIBELIUS LIVE AT 3M!!!!!! edit 1: let’s not fight over whatever matter of difficulty of the sibelius piece because we are here to support our dads go liveeee

Brett: sweetheart, we've ALL been there with the nerves. We've ALL had the shakes. But very few of us have been able to NAIL something like a nail gun like you did. You kept your promise!! You blew us away. You were wonderful. You're inspiring so many generations at once. Keep doing what you love and having fun... And being phenomenal at it! Eddy: You are the best support ever😂 not just playing the orchestra part but also the fact that you kept nudging your mate on with encouraging looks and stuff. Dancing in between silences, (you sacrilegious boi, you ❤️). You were soooo amazing as well, you guys worked so hard. Well Done! Worlds best hype-man. Brett and Eddy: we love you, keep on keeping on and continue showing us how much Ling Ling DNA you have. Do this more often! We love interacting with you. Because again, we love you. Now go off and practice your Paganini😁😘❤️🇿🇦

This is even more endearing, watching it again after the 4 Mil Mendelssohn concert. Brett has grown so much. He was great back then, but now he is just wonderful. His Mendelssohn was so amazing, I can't stop listening to it!

God they've done so much for classical music by doing this! They have already done a terrific job of introducing classical music to the modern masses. But now, they've introduced *LIVE* performance in a way that I don't think has been done before. In our day and age, it's so gosh darn easy to get caught up in perfected studio recordings of classical pieces. It's not too common for us to witness genuine performance of pieces like these in real time outside of concert halls or heavily funded broadcasts. But, these two dudes! They just let 40,000 people witness live performance, real flaws, real technique, *real musicianship in real time.* That is something to be deeply appreciated. :D

Who’s here after they confirmed the 3M Sibelius drop?

Twoset reacting to movies: they have to take classical music SERIOUSLY Twoset livestreaming: *eddy starts dancing like a child behind brett*

*[Time stamps]* 7:14 I. Allegro moderato (D major) 16:33 I. Allegro moderato: Solo Violin Cadenza (D major) 25:52 II. Canzonetta: Andante (G minor) 31:18 III. Finale: Allegro vivacissimo (D major) *[Concerto and Encore suggestions]*: 2 mil- Tchaikovsky violin concerto (Brett) Encore- ___ 3 mil- Sibelius violin concerto (Eddy) Encore- ___ 4 mil- Brahms or Wieniawski violin concerto no.1 (Brett) Encore- Navarra 5 mil- Barber violin concerto (Eddy) Encore- Ysaye 3 6 mil- Bruch violin concerto (Brett) Encore- Ysaye 6 7 mil- Mendelssohn violin concerto or Beethoven violin concerto (Eddy) Encore- a Paganini caprice..? 8 mil- Prokofiev violin concerto(Brett) Encore- Erlkönig 9 mil- Shostakovich or ‪Korngold‬ violin concerto (Eddy) Encore- Last rose of summer 10 mil- Paganini violin concerto (switching parts maybe? Like Brett does first and third movement, Eddy does second movement) or a concerto for four violins featuring Ray Chen and Hilary Hahn *EDITOR SAN FACE REVEAL ANYTIME*

when you realize that the number of people watching would've probably doubled if the europeans could've made it

Brett and Eddy: You shouldn't clap between movements. Also Brett: *keeps talking during tutti* Also Eddy: *dances goofily during cadenza*

That’s the first time I’ve seen the soloist turn a page for the accompaniment.

Our school has an orchestra chat and during the livestream we were all texting at once: “DiD yOu HeAr ThOsE sIxTeEnThS?!” “THE TONE *MWAH* ” “The one time it’s okay to skip practice.”

Brett, tuning strings: Doesn't matter I'm not gonna be in tune anyway. Also Brett: PLAYS LIKE A GOD

Yes it's now Eddy's turn, SIBELIUS DROP AT 3M!

Every once in a while, I’m reminded that Brett and Eddy are world class violinists. This was amazing.

Hey I’m just astonished at the fact that Brett was still playing the cadenza unbothered while Eddy was messing with the balloons I- now that. That is talent folks.

Golden idea: Brett releases a recording without accompaniment. The very talented fan base can slowly fill in the rest of the orchestra. It can be our recording

Other people: "The piano reduction is only just enough to support a soloist, and it's really hard >:( ! " Eddy: That's cute. Turn my page.

Brett: I'm so nervous Also Brett: *plays almost his entire part with his eyes closed* True professional right there damn, that was genuinely incredible. Submit this recording for every audition ever and you'll never have to prepare an audition piece again.

"Can I just say" that I'm preparing for Brett's Mendelssohn by rewatching the 2M and 3M performances 🙌. The accompaniments each of you did, respectively, to simulate an orchestra was just as impressive as the solos 👏👏👏 | Let's goooo 4M!!! ❤️🎻❤️🎻
