Top 10 Most Used Classical Pieces in TV Ads 

After that encore with Hilary Hahn yesterday (among your many other incredible milestones), I truly believe that anything is possible with you lads. Let's make Teaset Violin happen!!

Twoset needs to make a commercial about bubble tea with the Beethoven's fifth symphony lyrics they made!

No lie, the Nike commercial was genuine art. Not only did it effectively tell a compelling story set to Lacrymosa, but their use of lighting and cinematography was very reminiscent of the style of Renaissance painting known as *chiaroscuro*, intentionally using the heavy shadowing and low lights to help set the tone of the commercial, on top of the very crowded but symmetric framing of the shots. Simply bellisimo~

CONGRATS ON UR ENCORE WITH HILARY

"Alexa, tell Bezos to pay his workers properly!" might be the greatest roast by two set violin ever. It's not music related. It comes from the heart. And you KNOW it's true! Excellent!

TwoSet as dolphins is an image that will live rent free in my head

thank you Brett and eddy for being my inspiration to pick up my instrument! Your millions of subscribers are well deserved.

I´m actually writing my master thesis on the use of Mozart´s Lacrimosa in film and series right now... And I´ve asked myself the same question: Would Mozart approve of his music basically becoming a meme?

For the ad at 7:30 , just a thought about the bulbs.... my cousin directs commercials. He made one years ago with Chris Pine where they made a ton of lights explode repeatedly... the lights were actually made of sugar. They looked like glass but it was just sugar made to look like light bulbs and they added some effects to make it look real. He said it was safer and a lot cheaper

As a former Amazon warehouse employee, that burn on Bezos at 3:30 got me 100% dead, lol

There are many variations of the Beethoven Cha Cha Cha Cha ads. I remember growing up to this kind of ads in Hong Kong. There were different drinks, furniture and stuff they'd present in this way :)

So proud of you for your guest spot with the wonderful Hilary Hahn! ❤

I did Beethoven Violin Sonata No5 Op24 Spring in my violin lesson today. Not as smooth as the more experienced players, but I’m just glad i could play it through. 😂

20 million subscribers let’s gooooo! We need to make teaset violin happen. But first, the Mendelssohn. Also, CONGRATS on yesterday!!!!

As a long time classical music lover, I think is wonderful to hear classical music in so many circumstances, including TV ads.

Just bought my first violin!!! 22, only had one lesson, very excited, I've always wanted to learn 😊🎻❤️

Them listening to Lacrimosa only makes me think of Brett’s garageband recreation of the piece 💀🤣 Btw, congrats on your encore with Hilary Hahn boys!! So inspiring!!

i feel like people think classical music is so ‘niche’ and ‘rare’ but in reality they hear it everywhere. example: person 1: hey, what music do you listen to? person 2: uhh classical person 1: wow, ive never heard it before person 2: you know *insert beethoven symphony 5*

5:36 ok, i'm already waiting for this version 😂😂💙💙

Petition for slow-mo TwoSet dance to Lacrimosa

5:06 love the harmonizing! TwoSet should sing more often.

6:15 SHE SAID SONG! SONG!! SONG!!!

5:51 omg actually i had a dream once that i went to your bubble tea store… and bret was fluent in spanish

You guys returned from Sydney to Brisbane real fast! (Kidding :P) So inspiring to see you both practising so hard for comcerts even while producing these fun vids!

Were really proud of u twoset for encores at Hilary's concert

can i just say, your performance yesterday was amazing, i went with my dad, bc we both absolutely love classical music :) when u guys went onstage i literally almost cried tears of joy 😭 love you guys

Congratulations on your encore with Hilary Hahn on the stage of the Sydney Opera House concert hall! Now to watch this video- after the ads run

Tell me you have perfect pitch without telling me you have perfect pitch: 7:07

God damn you guys are truly soul mate!! I expect Eddy to show off his perfect pitch (again), but saying 7:19 together is, EPIC!! And this made me think that, if these musicians are still alive, they must be RICH AF lol Hopefully they won't copy strike as much lol Edit: I actually thought this is going to be a roast video, like, roasting overused or stereotyped classical pieces in commercials, but it turned out to be an appreciation (?) video! Love it!

I love that car commercial with Antonio Vivaldi's 4 season (Summer); heavy metal (Van Halen style.)

CONGRATS!! WE SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS 💕

Also for Mozart, the greatest opera overture - The opening bars of Le Nozze di Figaro aka The Marriage of Figaro - has been used quite a bit, if memory serves.

that amber heard joke tho, men never fails to disappoint!

You guys are sooo inspiring. Proud to be your fellow Taiwanese

4:26 Brett being like, "yeah that was me and you" is literally what my partner and I say all the time, whenever we see two of something derping around LOL

For some reason I decided to subscribe after 5:46

In NZ there’s an add by Chorus about fibre internet and the music they used was Claire De Lune played on a theremin and I report the ad every time it comes up 😂

I’m gonna need the full version of Bubble Milk Tea x Beethoven 5 please and thank you ☺️

Congrats on your performance with Hilary, guys! You've come so far and yet there are more things to come, a really proud fan right here!❤️ ps: You're closer to 4Mil cough cough _Mendy_ cough cough

My absolute favourite reworking of a classical piece is "Lacrymosa" by Evanescence, which does use excerpts of Lacrimosa. It keeps it a bit more fresh/interesting when the original is quite oversaturated!

The lightbulbs breaking is probably in reference to the invention of the lightbulb where he supposedly failed to make it over a thousand times but kept going.

Surprised Dvorak's 9th wasn't mentioned. I swear i've heard it in so many commercials!

This will probably get lost in the sea of 500+ comments but I just one to put it here that Twoset really are such an inspiration. They've done so much and come so far I've never been prouder 💜

Congratulations for yesterdays encore guys! So proud of you!💕💕💕

The Nike Lacrimosa video looks shot-for-shot like a series of paintings. It's pretty impressive in the lighting, the arrangement of people, the action.

Back in 80’s, Apple’s commercial used Bach’s Two-parts Invention no.13 which I played on music theory class. You two were not even born yet, lol.😂

That amber heard joke was such a disappointment

1. "Lacrimosa" from Requiem in D minor, K. 626 by Mozart 2. "Der Hölle Rache" from Die Zauberflöte, K. 620 by Mozart 3. Presto from "Summer" (The Four Seasons) by Vivaldi 4. Allegro con brio from Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 by Beethoven 5. "Für Elise" by Beethoven 6. Overture to "William Tell" by Rossini 7. "Habanera" from "Carmen" by Bizet 8. "Ride of the Valkyries" from "Die Walkure" by Wagner 9. "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss Edit: Added the umlaut over "Für" to please @queenofyasrabien7326

The first piece that comes to mind for me is Verdi's Dies Irae. It's played in so many adverts...and I'm here for it every single time!

the nerve of you to upload normally like nothing happened after yesterday- jk im soooooo proud of you guys CONGRATS!!! :D

i remember when the für elise mcdonald’s piano commercial first aired. i remember thinking it was so awesome as a kid and had the lyrics memorized. that and the moon man mack the knife commercial.

Love the ad at 4:36 the most 🤣

5:25 But why does that actually fit the rhythm though? I love it😂

bro, can twoset like make their own version of using classical pieces in daily life situation? but honestly, i enjoyed this video very much and coincidentally, I bought a bubble tea today🥰, I LOVE TWOSET VIOLIN!!

Oh my goodenss, the tea add. IS THE BEST ONE! Go Eddy and Brett!

brett: vibrato the subscribe button pianists: ...

Those Pampers babies look like something out of people's nightmares. 😱😱😱

I love you guys you inspired me to play piano and classical music I love you keep making amazing content

I WAS THERE!!! 2ND ROW FROM THE FRONT, ABSOLUTELY LOST IT WHEN Y’ALL WALKED ON. AMAZING EXPERIENCE.

'Alexa tell Bezos to pay his workers properly' *many claps*

lmao i LOST it at the Carmen ad "are you stuck in the door?" XD omg i laughed forever after your reactions hahhahah. And the bubble tea song you guys came up with was so good!!

I can already hear it just by reading the title.

10:17 Please don't make fun of home violence - this is not really a joke.

0:37 - Noot, noot!

Photos of your performance with Hilary Hahn and a new video all in one night! Thank you! As always, your commentary is insightful and hilarious💕!

Brett is singing more and I am so here for it

IM SO PROUD OF U GUYS

It seems that the Apple ad with the transposed F-major could have been intentional since the "F-key" was featured on the keyboard. A musical detail only Eddy would have noticed.

Congrats boys! Thank you for all you do!!!❤❤❤

congrats for playing with Hilary! You guys sounded sooo good in that performance 👏

Eddie’s face though during the pampers ad 😆

the copystrike part was so funny for no reason AHAHHA

The first piece, when I heard it I head NOOT NOOT in my head

I know metal isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and as a vocalist I steer very far away from screamo but I looooooove me a good “crunchy” guitar solo and a raucous chorus. I also will never turn away from a good classical scoring of a well written popular song and vice versa. I’m a firm believer that good music is good music, regardless of genre. Metallica did a collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony orchestra back in the 90’s that is just -chefs kiss-. I highly recommend for any of those classical music nerds who are intersectional with metal heads.

I understand your feelings about the Alexa ad, but personally I'm impressed how smoothly it went from opera to Donna Summer's I feel love, which happens to be a rather epic song vocal -wise. Also, can't believe that being a metalhead myself I've never heard that Vivaldi cover! I mean, I'm aware there is a metal cover of everything out there, but I was surprised how well it turned out.

I actually did a version of Lacrymosa. Love the piece.

can't wait for the Gavotte for 3 violin with Hilary video! Y'all did amazing! So proud of you guys

i'm on a break from writing my thesis with the help of Eddie tiger mom so when eddie asked "did you practice?" i smiled

The two pieces they missed which I hear constantly, are the Bach cello suite #1, and the Beethoven Well Tempered Clavier Book 1 Prelude 1.

5:25 即興時間🤩

Honestly so many ads are just a random montage of different pictures with an excerpt of classical music played over it to make the product seem more fancy than it actually is *I’m looking at you perfume ads*

I can't stop smiling every time I see their reactions to the asian tea ad, it's just so funny 😄

I used to love the BBC paint commercials with Vivaldi when I was little! Not to date myself but they were lovely. 🎻✨

Congratulations, BAE, on your most recent accomplishment playing an encore with Queen Hilary Hahn! 🎻🎻🎻 We’re happy for & extremely proud of you! 🙌🏽😆👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤩😍 Love y’all! 🥰💕🥰 Sending huge hugs! 🤗🫂🤗

I just noticed that today ( this video ) twoset’ s intro is the calmest of all the other ones I’ve watched Usually either one if them or both gets hyped and screams LING LING 40 HOURS etc Lol 😂

Common things shared by Mozart and BTS: 1. their pieces/songs were used everywhere in commercials; 2. lots of ladies like them; 3. Eddy is a fan of both of them and can play their music on the violin lol

Best use of Lacrimosa imo is the teaser trailer/intro for Tomb Raider Underworld

Hey Brett and Eddy, I am so happy to see you guys at Sydney Opera House. It made my whole day. Anything is possible guys. Damn proud of you

In France (and maybe in other countries), for the Renault Zoé car ad, they played the music "The blue Danube", which is quite IntEresTinG because the electricity shown in this ad is bright blue (the car is an electric car), and the sky is also blue at the beginning

I love it when I hear the transposing up in William Tell Overture! This gets me everything!! ;)

5:58 was truly sacrilegious. It’s kind of sad that the adult felt he had to ply her with junk food just to perform.

Eddy never finished his train of thought. I can only imagine it was a segue into overplayed pieces. "Speaking of disappointment" ~suddenly Brett needs to adjust the 40 lights~

But I'm a pianist, I can't vibrato the subscribe button!

I know Eddy said no comment, and I know I don't like car commercials either, but the metal cover of Vivaldi kinda killed me in a good way. I like headbangers and Vivaldi is up my alley, so stuff like that would definitely introduce me to classical music if I was a stubborn metalhead haha

My goal in life is that my kids will recognize the classical pieces in ads.

Last time I was this early, Eddy didn’t have perfect pitch yet 🤪

I feel like they could make another one of these just talking about australian beer commercials

Oh my goodness can you guys sing in Mandarin more often?! That was amazing!!

Bugs Bunny got me interested in classical music, as an example the "Rabbit of Seville".

You could make a video just about Carmina Burana and all the different ways it gets used.
