The Ultimate Violin Listening Test (Can You Hear the Differences?) 

I love how it started as a competition, then halfway it just became a cooperation. So in sync. 😂

*Beginning of the video*: hides paper from one another *6 minutes later*: I think it's Hilary Hahn

Pieces: Bach Chaconne 0:57 Wieniawski Variations on an original theme 1:25 Bach Partita 2 Allemande 2:28 Beethoven Violin Concerto 2:47 Paganini Caprice 5 3:44 Wieniawski Polonaise Brillante 3:58 Bach Partita 3 Gigue 5:11 Dvorak Violin Concerto 6:03 Vivaldi Winter 7:01 Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto 7:41 Bruch Violin Concerto 8:08 Mozart Violin Concerto 4 8:48 Saint Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso 9:43 Brahms Violin Concerto 10:14 Mendelssohn Violin Concerto 10:47 Wieniawski Violin Concerto 1 11:25 Sarasate Zigeunerweisen 11:44 Sibelius Violin Concerto 12:04 Prokofiev Violin Concerto 2 12:24

You guys should do a video where you compare the same piece played by different violinists and explain the differences in their interpretation. To help us peasants without perfect pitch become closer to ling ling.

Eddy: i have gained a new appreciation for viola. *Brett stops recording* *They turn off camera* *Eddy has 12 showers*

i watched two ads for this- the things i'd do for twoset

20 decibels: A whisper at 2 meters 50 decibels: Moderate rainfall 80 decibels: Vacuum cleaner 110 decibels: Chainsaw 200 decibels: Brett and Eddy's reaction to every answer in this video

pls, dear TwoSet editor, equalize the audio more... I always have it turned up to 💯 to hear their quiet commentary only to then have their screams blow my eardrums out... I only just started enjoying classical music more and would like to continue still capable of hearing it. thank you for your work 🙏😭

“I think violin is somewhat attention-seeking...” *excuse me while my friend and I make an entire friggin channel about the violin*

"Should be practicing...not doing this game..." "I know..." Still doing it.

Eddy: "If i just guess Ehnes every round i'm bound to get it at some point."

And now Perlman's face is forever etched on the inside of my eyelids. Thanks guys.

Ling Ling would be able to discern every famous violinist just by listening to one note.

i was literally quoting Ray Chen saying who is Rachel Podger right before they played the clip. i laughed hysterically

I love how they are more afraid of offending the soloists than telling people they love Viola. Priorities.

13:47 Brett: maybe we do another one, this was actually really fun! I agree, you look so happy and relaxed. ❤️ Please do one more. 👍

Towards the end of the video, I just lower the volume whenever they're about to reveal the answer

"Wow okay we're both sucking let's keep going" 😂👌

Eddy's been coughing. I know this might be taken along with the previous video but please guys take care of yourselves. Drink lots of water and dont forget to practice ✊🏻✊🏻

Eddy was goinna keep saying Ehnes until he got it right lol

Ling Ling sees the music before he hears it.

You should try guessing the orchestra from recordings like this (Berlin Phil, hr, NY Phil etc.)

Idk why but I can literally see Brett’s passion for violin in this episode

Brett's face when Hilary plays 😍 Eddy when maxim plays 😵. That's how you tell how good a violinist is. Look at their reactions to the

Eddy’s expressions in the video: Shocked pickachu face Just confused

It's weird, I'm craving for bubble tea everytime I watch you guys

Brett and Eddy: *mumbles mumbles about music that i know nothing about and english translation doesn't help Me: *entertain by their liveliness and cooperation*

The closest I've ever been to being a musician is once my mom took me to go see Midori and after the show she was in the lobby and my mom was so starstruck and nervous she made me go up and shake Midori's hand for her. She was very nice and her playing was beautiful.

Eddy - “I love ... v-viola” Brett - “Why?” Eddy - “It’s just the viola makes you understand the inner workings of composition more. I think there’s a reason why Mozart and Hayden and Beethoven were all opted to play the viola even though many of them started on the violin SNIFF. I think violin is somewhat attention seeking, and viola’s truly the real musicians. And that’s why I’ve gained a new appreciation for viola. Brett - “Hmm nice” nods Eddy - “*slow long exhale”

Eddy: Imagine it`s Oistrakh... IT IS Eddy: Pikachu face (highlight of the video, gets me every time)

6:14 “It sounds like a girls to me” 😧How did they know?!!

Perlman was just staring at them the whole time, making them suspicious, and tricked them last minute with that maniacal look. his face will now haunt my dreams.

Eddy talking about viola on instagram some time ago: Me: Oh someone lost the game Watching TwoSet video in 0:33 : Me: I know who will win!

Brett: I really love the viola.... i think i’ll become a violist The entire viola community: *NANI?!*

Ray’s Mendelssohn Violin Concerto is very easily recognizable for some reason. Idk maybe I just really like listening to it.

You should do a Brett vs Eddy to see whether we can tell it apart.

That fine line between having the volume high enough to listen to these great violinists and blasting your ears with Eddy and Brett’s screams

4:31 I had headphones on in the library and Brett and Eddy were being so loud that the sound leaked and everyone around me started to stare at me Edit: Wow 1k likes??!?!!! Never had so much! Edit2:1.1k likes now!!! Jeez TYSM

Eddy Talks about how he loves Viola Violin Concerto plays in background

I LOST it at 10:34 I think this is at the top of my favorite games you guys play. I found it so interesting how classical music is so dope you can literally decipher and study who is playing. A new skill I wanna have when I finally start learning how to play the violin😄

13:50 I think filming Eddy is the only fun part for you right?

i can see eddy's soul leaving while doing the video oh wait,, it already left a loooong time ago :D

This is one of the high energy TwoSet vids out there. 10/10 would watch again

3:10 the smiling face of Brett says it everything here... he reaaaaaaally loves that game! :)

Very impressive accuracy identifying these players. Side note: if you can play it quickly ... you’re Heifetz. Or Kavakos.

The happy look on their faces when they got Hilary Hahn right is priceless.

Rewatching this after the 4M Mendelssohn concert. @10:47 carries so much meaning now haha!

I love how jumpy and happy Brett is whenever he is correct

Can I just say: whoever edits these videos is doing an amazing job Like, they're edited in such a fun and funny way. When the "to be continued" part came I almost died. And the small white texts etc! Really, whoever's doing it is doing an amazing job!

I'm finally early enough to see 0 views and 153 likes

10:25, love Brett’s hair 😂 Edit: Also love the friendship between you guys!

I've just commented this on your other "guessing the soloist" video, but it deserves to be heard, so hear me out: I want another video like this, and (as much as I enjoy your competitions), I want you to work together, not against each other to figure it out, because that way, we as the viewers get more of your thought processes and information and background detail.

No one: Literally no one: Not a single soul: Eddy: I THOUGHT _____

I feel blessed with the daily uploads 💖👌💕

5:17 I thought they were saying "This is Hahn, this is Hahn this is very Hahn..."

Literally after every answer is revealed: I KNEW IT BUT CHANGED MY MIND

You guys should join the area 51 raid and distract the guards with your violin music.

Guessing famous violinists just by listening to their recordings: Recording: *ajsfdhksjhsjahsjh* Twoset: VOV DYLAN Edit: Just kidding, vov dylan doesn't deserve to be famous

2:12 the screams start out to bleed my ears, but make their way to being at the same pitch 😂

Did anyone count how many times Eddy said “I thought”? 😂😆

Yay my tinnitus ringing is a D. Perfect pitch > medical conditions.

Brett just love the merch too much that he decided to wear 2 of them at the same time 😆

Ugh...Perlman’s cheeky bastard smile image is burned on the inside of my eyelids....Thanks..

You can hear Ray Chen's eyebrows through the recording

Me: Hears screeching Also me: Yep thats me

The first time I watched their video with Ray Chen I was just starting to watch Twoset and had no idea who Ray was, like I had literally no idea about anything about classical music. Watching it now is almost like watching it new and I enjoy it so much more now that I know what their relationship is like and Ray's personality. His reaction is priceless and classic Ray (now I know)

Petition for a TwoSet Apparel shirt with Perlman's face from that photo please, huge on the front of the T-shirt LOL

the meme use is so good and you two are friendship goals! Also I love your understanding, like something being fiery!!

After first 40 secs, we all know who won this game… Btw, I do love this vid, please do it again~

ok but brett is actually so freaking adorable in this, i want to put him into my pocket for safekeeping

Just seeing their reactions to some of the violinists was fun! Also, the depth of understanding necessary about each violinist and their tendencies and sound in order to make this a game is extraordinary! Hats off to you two!

Discovered so much great musicians again ! Thanks to both of you !!!

I've been singing in a choir for 17 years (Ukraine) and had multiple concerts with Gidon Kremer, know him personally. He is considered one of the best European violinist, and I've been waiting for AGES for him to appear on TwoSet! Finally, it has happened! Thanks guys for recognising Gidon Kremer in this video!!!

As someone who's been only playing violin for 11 years, I look up to y'alls videos. One thing I've learned is... IF YOU CAN PLAY IT SLOWLY, YOU CAN PLAY IT FAST. Plus you guys give me a good excuse for why I'm not practicing

Please a part 2!! This is so fun, I can play along the video loool

Straight up one of the best videos on the channel!

On the thumbnail it says “who’s the soloist?” I thought it said “who has scoliosis?” 😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Ooh the game that we’ve been waited for!! The one that Eddy lost! 😂

I love videos like this! Definitely more please

Really enjoyed this one - Would love to see more.

I love Henryk Szeryngs playing. I have the complete Mozart Violin sonatas with him and Ingrid Haebler. Such a pure sound.

3:33 I regreat wearing earphones

I love this! Please do more videos like this!!

I just discovered your channel and I'm in love! I don't even play violin, but you guys are hilarious! Much love to you ! Keep doing what you're doing!

This is basically an episode about Brett and Eddy thinking the same things at the same time

This video made me so happyyy !! So many great violinists ! I can also think of Nicola Benedetti and Sarah Chang as good ones to include next time. And as a violist, I felt slightly less invisible and unappreciated at the end, so thank you ! :)

Why is Brett wearing 2 T-shirts lol

Guys, seriously I LOVE THIS VIDEO. please do more of this. 🙏🏻 Ive been watching like 5 times in past hour now. 🤭

alternative video title: I THOUGHT IT WAS

So no one is going to talk about how Brett touched Eddy's shoulder at 9:30? It was so cute omg

You guys are Awesome!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!

Your guys’s excitement over this is so adorable. 😊

Btw, the outro recording was Menuhin 😉

Non musician twoset fan: *hears violin music* Non musician twoset fan: Is this M̶o̶z̶a̶r̶t̶ Ling Ling?

This was super fun and I love seeing your friendship :)

I actually really liked learning about these soloists’ styles - and the competitive element was cool with it :)

Eddy: "I thought it was Kremer, but..." Brett: "WOO-HOO!!!" Editor adds: "DOESN'T CARE" Editor-san, you kill me.

I wasn't ready for 2:12 And 4:30 rip headphone users

It's so cool to watch them guessing Ehnes for a lot of the soloists, I live a few hours away from his hometown and most of my musical mentors know him personally I got to see him play with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra recently and everyone was really excited that he was coming home to play (especially my teacher, as she's known him since he was young and is the concertmaster of the WSO) Having someone so (literally) close to home be on TwoSet's world famous soloists list makes my dreams seem a tad more realistic Love you guys!

that was so intense, and those jump scare screams are the best xD quite like this one, please do make another
