The Most Underrated Prodigy? 

The teacher here 😋 Thank you for noticing Yichen and my video! 😁

"for every child prodigy you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out before you even heard about them" --Itzhak Perlman

Man, the disappointed face of brett when he realized he is not a 12 year old prodigy

Brett is spot on: most people (myself included) don't understand the complexity of such playing. I just don't know how hard it is. That's why I watch you guys: so you can explain it to me and I can appreciate it. Thanks for that!

I think Brett was more upset for not being 12 anymore rather than not being a prodigy

8:36 Can we talk about how sweet and wholesome this photo is…they have been friends for around 18 years!!!

For every like this comment gets I will do 30 mins of practice

Twoset should react to YoEun playing Erlkönig..It's INSANE.

I will never forget when I was 17 there was an 8 year old prodigy at my piano recital. I said to my mom that I wished I could play that well when I was 8 and she responded “can you even play that well now?”

for those wondering, the video they reacted to is titled "Paganini Caprice 5 original bowing by a 12 year old - Luo Yichen" :))

I will practice 1 hour for every like on this comment

Ah yes my favorite episode of Children making me depressed

Twoset: analyzing his bowing, his dynamic, his techniques; me: wow that's fast😅. Twoset is here to teach me how to appreciate LingLing's playing! Love it!

I've started practicing daily again like I did when I was a music minor many years ago. Thankfully I got into med school and have since finished and gone through residency and fellowship. I was talking with one of my Neurology colleagues who played piano and was also a music minor and we are going to get back to our highest levels and try to push beyond. You guys and this kid inspire me to stretch my limitations further and go outside my comfort zone. Maybe I'll even find a teacher and see if they can help.

8:35 eddy looked so cute as a kid

i love how their reactions haven't changed in four years 😂😂 they still look like this: 😮

i will play e once for every time this gets a like edit: you have 1 week - will upload to youtube

and there goes my pride as a musician... if you can be humbled slowly, you can he humbled quickly

Thanks for incorporating us non-violinists more. Really appreciate the technique explanation.

You guys are always saying practice 40 hours a day… is that for one instrument? Cause I play 3 and I’m leaning another and I also sing… do I have to practice 200 hours a day? 😢

I'd really like to see Brett learn this piece with the original bowing! I'm sure he'd slay it!

miss ya'll Ling Ling 40 hrs subreddit, not saying I'm not respecting their choice, but I still miss it.

You know, I think there’s something to be said for NOT being a prodigy. Does this kid ever get to play video games or meet with friends? I hope so. Nothing wrong with “only” being talented violinists and RU-vid stars, Eddy and Brett!!! 🙂

4:35 new meme template is born

You're doing so much more for humanity than if you were professional soloists. You're educating, entertaining, and inspiring people all at the same time. (I started violin because of you.) GO TWOSET!

If you can find a prodigy slowly, you can find a prodigy quickly😂(and you will get emotional damage more often at the same time lol

My favorite kind of TwoSet video, where they really explain how something occurs on the violin! As a non-violinist I really appreciate it 🙂

Thank you for spreading the love of classical music. You helped me realise it's beauty and start playing again. You are the hero for millions; even if you aren't professional soloists, you have done more than that. Keep spreading the love!

Yes, it's about practice but about practising smart, not hard. Finding out what you are doing wrong and correcting it, being efficient and not repeating over and over your mistakes. Those who become child "prodigies" are the kids who have good teachers and good intuition, no miracles here. You can advance faster if you evaluate constantly what you are doing right and what wrong and correcting it.

When I was 12, I was watching the first Transformers movie everyday until I was able to recite the entire movie’s script by heart.

(8:23) YT video title is " Paganini Caprice 5 original bowing by a 12 year old - Luo Yichen"

I don’t see a link to the original video.

Two videos in one week??? They are spoiling us!

What if two set released Saint saens carnival of the animals apparel? That’d be so cool! I’d buy the swan instantly. 😊

Twosetviolin please 🙏react on Mozart in the Jungle

Your step by step explanation of the bowing and what makes it both complex and difficult really added to my appreciation of his performance

Can you listen to Laufey? She’s a singer and her song is very good and she play instruments too I hope you would. Thank you!

at 12 years old i was playing with pokemon cards

Yeah...Asians...what is it about these people. Whether it's music, sword-making, synthesizers, electronics, and yeah...cars - they're good at it. But why - and how - did it start millennia ago? Why is it that they were first in line when all the good DNA was being handed out?

That could have been me, if only I was born in China... in a wealthy family... and had practiced forty hours daily...

"You're not 12 Brett, it's not you" this is so cruel😢

So impressive... and I like how you explain things so that even someone who doesn't play the violin (like me) can understand. Thanks for this video

At this point, I've learnt more about violin on this channel than I ever would anywhere else. Luo Yichen played so amazingly, and he definitely deserves more recognition 😆😆

Wants to pump video numbers up- doesnt link it!!?

it's a good day when twosetviolin uploads a new vid

Hi Brett, it is getting too expensive in Toronto for my friends son to continue at the Conservatory of music. He is 15 Japanese and speaks fluently. Is it a good idea to find a place in Japan to continue his violin? Thank you so much. You really have changed the classical terrain.

Twoset is uploading a lot these days!…and I’m not complaining…

Guys I love you honestly but always looking at the background and trying to see what is there 😂

Can I just say something. BRO THIS IS MY FREAKING FRIEND FROM MY SCHOOL NO JOKE

8:53 Dont look at me! I have practiced!

could you put the og video link, that we can support that prodigy kid

I know it's two days before your birthday, but incase I miss it, Happy Birthday Brett!!!🎂🎻

Yoo, my teacher in music played one of your videos, and the song was from paganini, and I was excited because I know your videos cause I watch it and I'm happy I'm just sharing it

hey first

im aIso a prodigy (I've been playing for two years and I stiII sound Like a drowning cat)

You guys have to Watch Jichan Park playing La Campanella!! It’s insane and he has 10yo🥹

i swear to god the standards are getting so much higher. when I was twelve...

Hey Twoset, it's going to be easier and respectful for the kid if you link his video in the comment or description, don't you think? I mean, you get to make a reaction video out of his performance, and getting those revenues. Throughout the video you cropped the footage, and only flash the channel name a little towards the end .. I think linking the video is the least you can do.

Isn't Bretts birthday the 3 of March？

Can we get a link to his performance?

TwoSet: complain about the vid only having 987 views. Also TwoSet: don't put the link in the description :)

2:58 "Oh nice!!😊" ("mmmmm 😌😌😌") "but he's 12." "...nMnmNNm 🌞☺☺*(hide the pain don't cry don't cry omfg i am strong mature adult please oh lord lend me strength🤧🤧🤧)*"

I would love to see Chloe Chua back on the channel. God bless guys

2:25 Their face😂 I would make that face too to be honest

Well, since it’s Brett’s bday, I’m finna comment this on EVERY SINGLE TWOSET VIDEO. Happy Birthday Brett!

So, I'd love to learn about the teachers of these prodigies. There's something to be said about them too

I was actually rewatching you guys reacting to your childhood performances 😂

You guys should really check out swedish traditional choirs! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I hope you're well and can't wait to see you in Manchester!!

Hi Brett and Eddy, thanks for updating recently! Your vids are really great for a break from school on friday night.

So has twoset been inspired enough to finally learn this piece with original bowing? 😜

Don’t forget there’s an infant better than that 12 year old

Maybe you could link to it in your description or comments 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Welcome to yet another video on how to destroy ur self esteem! 🤗

I know it’s a few days early but HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT :D

I used to watch you guys when I was in highschool. Now I’m in college studying criminal justice and I’m still watching you guys. I love you guys and what you bring to RU-vid. Keep it up!!

I know someone that is a really good cello player. He's only 8 and he has won the concerto competition twice already in his youth orchestra. His playing has a level of maturity to it that is amazing. He is already playing a level 9 concerto. But he chooses not to post himself on social media. So i wonder, how many "prodigys" are out there.

if you can lose your self esteem slowly, you can lose your self esteem quickly 😭😭

WHAT HAPPEND TO SUBTITLER-SAN :

The views of this prodigy's gonna shoot up to 40'000 immediately.

Who's clarinet outro was that?

Hey Twoset! I've seen the video of you guys talking about your subreddit, lingling40hrs,has been taken. I know that now the subreddit isn't technically yours, but the people in the reddit are still Twoset fans. I personaly think that the subreddit was a super creative way to communicate with your fans, and as a twosetter myself, that makes quite the whole thing really intimate. Would you guys consider to make the lingling40hrs reviews back? I really think the dank memes and art need more reconition from you guys. p.s. amazing video as always! love from Korea❤

I feel like some pieces are so hard and just hard, like listening you can be like ‘Wow that’s awesome cuz it’s hard’ but it’s not as pleasing to the ear, like I feel like it would sound nicer a bit slower so you can actually hear what’s being played, like it’s music, no matter the difficulty it should still sound pleasing right?

I like your new set up. Did you move? Do you guys share an apartment? This kid practices 80 hours/day

Is there a link to see this prodigy's video all the way through?

Twosetviolin should know about the violin prodigy Lilja Haatainen.

I was like why is 2set watching a kid bowling and then I squinted and realized im old and my eyesight is going 😞

Love this commentary. Your passion for the music remains stellar.

prodigy damaging twosetviolin again.

lets go the best music channel is back making epic content

That boy made a deal with the devil down at the cross roads

Technically the original bowing is actually 3-down 1-up, 3-down 1-up, 4-down, 4-up. Still crazy for a 12 year old!

Are you guys ever coming to Boston by any chance…??😅😅😅

Bro’s the definition of *“there’s always an Asian better than you”*

Can’t believe I know this prodigy😂😂

Sorry, off topic, but will you come to finland again? On the world tour site when signing up for interest, helsinki is not an option :')

It'd be great for you guys to react to prodigies of other instruments (like cello for example)!! Would be even better if you can get someone who plays that instrument to explain how hard it truly is!! Great vid btw :))

I don't think TwoSet has ever covered Christian Li (except for in that funny-ads video)!!!! When can we see a video on him? He has a YT as well, and if you haven't seen it, then what are you waiting for? TwoSet has familiarised us with Chloe Chua, but Christian Li tied her in the Menuhin.... He also has many spectacular performances of Dance of the Goblins, and Vivaldi's Seasons!

Is there a link to prodigy's video?

Me already knowing before having watched the video that the 12 year old is gonna do original bowing 🥲.
