Try Not to Laugh: Classical Music Tik Toks 

Stripper tempo is what America's Got Talent contestants set their metronomes to

Viola jokes: check Really weird intro: check Reviving dead series: check Yep, it’s TwoSet time.

Nothing is harder than being a violist and a two set violin fan

Ling Ling is so confused whether to be mad at them for not practising 40hrs a day or be proud of them for making such cultured tiktoks.

I love how they didn’t even try to conceal their laughter 😂😂

As a viola player, the first one had me absolutely dying of laughter

I actually closed my eyes for the "falling in love with someone that has a gf" expecting some good, emotional stuff, and then it called me a clown.

Petition to bring Eddy's sister on to the channel and impress us with her piano skills 😁😁😁

lmao I remember laughing with my friends at "Stripper Tempo" when we were playing that same music in our pit ensemble, its from the music for the musical "Chicago" btw

The band at 4:46 is an elementary school in my district. It’s been a running joke through our district how bad that year was (and they were that bad it was no joke). Their orchestra on the other hand is amazing for elementary kids!

6:50, Rachmaninoff actually had Marfans syndrome. I did a project on it last year for my biology class. Marfans syndrome affects connective tissue, and because of that a person with it can have a disproportionate body. Really long finger and arms, and toes and legs. If you look at a picture of Rachmaninoff playing the piano he really did have big hands and long fingers. So while he could play a certain set of notes, people without the syndrome cant (unless u just have really big hands). I hope Bret and Eddy see this :D

As a clarinet player, I laughed SO hard at the last one lol it killed me

There are two types of Tiktoks. 90% cringe and 10% actually funny

"Somebody come get her, she's dancin' like a stripper" Eddy: What is that actual piece again??

Twoset before:haha viola bad Twoset now:we love you violas and we need to coexist we're here because of you❤

y’all really be on tiktok for 40 hours a day

4:57 it’s probably not the teacher, it might be the fact they didn’t practice

The nice thing about these videos is we can stay a safe distance from TikTok.

@TwoSet: To answer your question at 10:35 , yes, you can pretty much do that with clarinets and make a sound at the cost of your lungs and consciousness. My mates and I in marching band were often wild, and, by removing the bells of our clarinets, could screw them together into “one” terrifically long clarinet (I think 3 long was the longest we could get it and still make an [[incredibly deep and red-in-the-face]] sound)

The hilarious thing about the Mozart TikTok is that Franz Liszt was a legitimate panty dropper.

"too old for this gen z humor" Relatable.

10:00 When they realise they accidentally landed on straight tiktok instead of musical tiktok

I’m a self taught pianist, but I play both classic and modern stuff. Just found this channel. Really enjoy it so far

For your information Rachmaninoff was a 6'6" tall man and supposed to suffered from Marfan syndrome both made his fingers very long so he could comfortably reach a 12th and a maximum of 13th on white keys On the other hand, Liszt's hand weren't significantly big yet they had unusual "small amount of connective tissue between the fingers that only begins at the very base of each finger making large spans on the piano easily achievable", and from the pieces he composed we can assume he could comfortably play a 10th on white keys with a maximum of 11th span

That Jingle Bells school orchestra sounds like something straight out of The Nightmare Before Christmas

I’m a lapsed singer, but I’ve always loved the sound of viola. Of course, I also sang Alto 2 in choirs when I was still performing so maybe I just can’t resist a warmer, richer sound from a less fashionable instrument.

I laughed looking at the thumbnail already. *I lost.*

Son: mom can we get an orchestra? Mom: no we have orchestra at home. Orchestra at home: 4:57

I love that violists are subscribed and don't care when Eddy throws a big fat roast at their face. MAD RESPECT!

That cat is bringing the weird side of 20th century music back

2:49 Started as Queen of the Night Aria but ended by popcorn getting stuck in her throat...

Brett:Only brass players mess up, and where the wrong socks My band: *Brass are practically perfect (except for those four trumpet player) and woodwinds are screwed*

Sting players don’t really get lost any more often than us brass players. It’s just that when you are the only trumpet player and you are supposed come in on a big brass moment, it becomes so much more noticeable when you are lost versus when there are 20 violins and if you get lost, you still have 19 other players playing so no one notices. If you miss a note as the only trumpet player, everyone hears it.

twoset: i only know the practice tempo not the stripper tempo subtitles: stRiPpEr tEmPLe

5:15 i recently had the unfortunate experience of attending my nephew's 7th grade holiday concert... it sounded just as awful as this. To be fair, even though they were 7th grade, because of Covid they started band two years late and they also have only had a couple of months of practice playing together.

Them: "what Mozart song is that?" The song when lyrics are applied: "somebody come get her, she's dancing like a stripper 🤪🤪🥵🥵🤑🤑"

Considering Mozart wrote that as a revenge and meant for it to be impossible to sing, yes it is hard 🤣

The continuos roasting of violas makes my sassy ass want to learn to play one.

Eddy:"I've never been lost in playing" Me:* cries in getting lost in a Suzuki book 1 piece *

"I mean we're going to a concert tonight, I hope--" *irish quarantine jealousy intensifies*

10:32 Eddy: is that three clarinets? Brett: that was three clarinets Eddy: oh my Me: SACRILEGIOUS

8:37 Ravel Gaspard de la nuit - Ondine

the day my child says "i wanna play an instrument" i might cry, not of joy, but for my bank account lolol

It's sad that the conductor got fired for orchestrating dancing like a stripper he was a legend for that

Brett: laughs 0:59 Eddy: laughs 1:49 Editor San: I’m just going to act like I didn’t hear anything...

This serie is coming back and I am here for it.

Great stuff. I can TOTALLY relate to trying to study/research something and listening to music and I just get lost in that and drop everything to "conduct/play" along. Awesome!

The absolute despair on Eddy's face when the rest of the orchestra started playing in that school show

I love the Addams Family musical! It’s where that piece with “Stripper Tempo” is from. It’s better known as a “kick line” in musical theater, usually near the end of a piece where you drop the tempo significantly from what it was before and then build back up to it

That one substitute teacher in primary school: I’ll put on classical music do you don’t get distracted Literally everyone: **starts dancing like ballerinas**

No one: Auto generated sub: "Yeah so violence you do a great job"

I'm not even a classical musician (guitar 🤡) but i can appreciate this lol

Humour: ✅ Practice: Uhm, maybe not for now *sheesh* Yep It's Twosetviolin time 🤡

5:35 I’m not sure if I’m guessing right or not but it might that they’re playing bad on purpose. In 8th grade at the final concert before graduation our teacher told us to play very bad at the warm up on stage and then actually sound good when playing the piece so the audience gets shocked even for a little

Now I need a shirt/ hoodie that say „I spend thousands of dollars for a piece of wood”

Bad salespitch for a violin salesman: "this one comes with no strings attached."

10:51 Brett: I think we lost. Everyone: You think?

Them : Perfect because of your imperfection Also them : you are ✨ deformed ✨

I love how the hearts went negative 😂. Where is guys the Ling Ling potion? 😂

Day 1 of trying to get twoset to write the names of classical pieces in the description

At my music college, once a year some of the instrumentalists were required to learn a secondary instrument and perform jingle bells at the end of the year. It sounded like that.

little did they realize, they both lost the first heart at 0:58

I started watching these guys while in high school; I was just a cellist excited to see some classical music humor. 4.5 years later and now I’m in my second year in college studying music performance and I’m still watching them :’) thank you for always being there 2set❤️

eddy and brett be like: i am roasting everything in an elegant way

I'm thinking the "Mozart" tik tok tune around 7:45 is actually the stripper song in the clarinet bit at the end ...

2:31 I literally thought that it was Eddy singing.

1:48 this should be a gif when you had to laugh at dad jokes. Just a traumatising *HA* so they don’t do it again.

As a student that plays the viola, it's pretty accurate. I'm literally the only viola in my class and my classmates like making fun of me.

‘Sophisticated distinguished classical musicians’ **flashbacks to everything they’ve done**

I just wanted to say that thank you. I'm 14 years old and i first started taking violin lessons when i was 7. And when i was 12 i just started to hate it because my teacher didn't even give me a song or something else. (maybe she was right idk). But thanks to you i'm seriously loving it right now. And really practicing too much :D. You make me understand that violin is such a beautiful instrument. (not very boring) I'm really thankful to both of you. I hope you see this comment and realize how you touched my life. Greetings from Turkey ❤🎻

these people are wasting time making tiktoks instead of practising 40 hours a day 😤

The Jingle Bells clip made me think of something we with the Brass used to do in our Youth Orchestra. When a piece started with a Brass solo we sometimes secretly conspired to start a half or whole tone higher or lower, and then when the strings came in...confusion all around. Of course never at a concert, only at rehearsal. Our conductor had (near) perfect pitch so he used to give us suspicious looks whenever we did this, but always kept going. Some string players caught on quickly, but most of them got really confused.

the tiktok audio: an orchestral version of that somebody come get her meme eddy, an intellectual: what is that actual piece again

When you talk about wearing the wrong bow tie or shirt or socks I can’t stop thinking “why don’t you just bring another one of the different color in your bag?

-"We're going to a concert tonight." Indians in quarantine rn:😔😔👍👍

TwoSet: violas Subtitle: violince

I was so relative with the “I’m dropping out” 😂

5:09 Yes. Yes it can be real and I have witnessed first hand

In all seriousness, “Stripper” Tempo is referring to the tempo and feel of the song “The Stripper” by David Rose - it’s a specific style of big band in essence.

At 3:38 the cat panicked because the right back foot got stuck behind the music stand when it was in a position where it was difficult to get back up again. Why would it take a psycho to tell you this?

When I was in high school band, the brass players were called brassholes and the woodwinds were called firewood. All good, family humor. 😄

Petition for twoset to react to Alma Deutscher's opera

You always bring a combination of humor and education and I like that. Keep up the good work I really enjoy you guys video. It's the highlight of my day...I only laughed about as much as the two of did at the video supplied for you

3:36 " cat is scared by the sound of piano and is scared to jump" Chopin : that's amaaaazing

Me as a kid: Wow the violin is so easy! Me now: My fingers hurt and I get confused with the notes aaaa

I’m literally a year late but i have the exact same Baptist Hymnal sitting on my piano (3:54). i sort of borrowed it and then didn’t know who to give it back to so now i still have it after two years lol

5:00 polytonality

The study one hits home so hard, I remember first listening to Carnival of the Animals when I was studying for 2nd year Uni exams and just having to stop because I realised it was literally one big musical meme. One of my all time favourites just for shitposting value alone

editor-san's edit and commentary makes it even funnier lmao

Me talking to someone about TwoSet: TwoSet: posts a video Me: 👀👄👀

I could never listen to classical music while studying, it is too intense.

The very first one killed me

4:52 *sir that's jazz* ✋🙄

Being a viola player and a two set fan can be difficult at times but I just learn to roll with it lmao

The first one is so true. Us violists are so under-appreciated. Did you know we have a C-string? no flex but yeah crazy

I have a degree in music performance and I always feel so....so bad for my dear friends who got their degrees in musical education. They are the real heroes.

5:20 because they are children Eddy

I bet that kid deliberately started in the wrong key just to mess with everybody.

As a harpist, I don't feel so alone in the orchestra for once - thank you!

No lie, at 10:29, that reminded me of when I was in high school getting ready for the xmas parade and me and my friends took the mouth-pieces and bells off of our clarinets and just held them together to create one giant clarinet. IT ACTUALLY PLAYED A FEW NOTES TOO! A band-geek highlight of senior year
