“WUUUUU HONEYMOON”-Brett Yang
I am literally getting married next week. What is this sorcery, Brett and Eddy?!
Update 18th March: I got married today!
Congrats!
Congratulations and have a great wedding!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! What kind of music will there be?
@@midge2562 thank you 💕 And I am currently curating the playlist for the reception as well. This video came at such great timing 🥺
My friend got married to a solo Violin rendition of Lark Ascending. My Grandfather was buried to the same piece and I can’t think of anything more fitting for both uplifting and melancholic emotional moments.
one of my favorite pieces of all time
I play an arrangement of Vaughn Williams’ “A Sprig of Thyme” that includes “Lark Ascending” every morning during my quiet time. It does perfectly capture both emotions.
Oh my god thank you introducing me to Lark Ascending. I've never had an answer to "What is the most beautiful song in the world?" until now
The photo of Brett as the groom and Eddie as the Bride is just hysterical beyond words
Well, shippers gonna ⛴️
NGL, that's traumatizing
1:05 Debussy - Arabesque No. 1
1:49 Tchaikovsky - String Quartet No. 1, II. Andante Cantabile
2:35 Liszt - Liebestraum No. 3
3:27 Bach - Overture from Orchestral Suite No. 1 BWW1066
4:20 Brahms - Intermezzo, Op. 118, no.2
5:01 Schumann/Liszt - Liebeslied (Arrangement of Schumann's Widmung)
6:18 Bach - Brandenburg Concerto no. 6 in B-flat major BWW1051, III. Allegro
6:52 Bach - Concerto for two violins in D minor BWW1043, II. Largo ma non tanto
8:17 Gerald Finzi - Romance in E flat major, Op. 11
8:47 Rachmaninoff - Symphony No. 2, Op. 27, III. Adagio
idk, i think that only the three first ones were love related and would sound great to even those who are not into classical music
Thanks for the list
God bless you
Thank you for this list! I really appreciate it ❤
Thank god theres people like you
I got married in a cathedral with an organ so we took full advantage of that. Here are the pieces we used:
-Guests entering: Fanfare by Jacques-Nicholas Lemmens
-Bridal procession: Jupiter theme by Holst
-Recession: Gigue French Suite No. 5 on G (on the organ it was incredible)
I was friends with the organist and he said he would be happy to do an additional piece for the guests directly after the ceremony, so he performed Organ Symphony No. 1 in D minor by Vierne. I had a lot of guests comment of how amazing it was to basically have a private organ concert.
Omg I LOVE Vierne
jupiter?? wow! which part?
omg yes!! i was going to suggest Jupiter! the 2nd theme in the middle would be perfect!!!
Lol, for some reason when I read Holst my mind jumped to Mars. I can just see someone picking that for their procession! 😂
Yes I don't understand why they don't have a Organ piece at all
My husband and I actually played the second movement of Bach's double at our wedding!!! We met in the symphony and when covid hit, we started playing duets together just for fun, and ended up falling in love :)
Aww, congrats on your wedding :D
Oh that's so beautiful ❤️
😭goals!
What a beautiful story! Keep your love alive!
We want to see you guys duet!
I want Eddy to be my wedding planner & Brett to be my marriage counsellor. 😂
I have been to a wedding in which the couple (both classical musicians) insisted on having the entire Beethoven symphony no.9 but rearranged the parts and movements so that the ode to joy theme (the stunning part with both orchestra and choir) would be blasting at full volume when they were doing their vows
It was so freaking hilarious but glorious, and definitely one of the most memorable weddings I’ve been to
while doing their vows!? were you supposed to listen to the vows or the music?!
I mean.. it's epic.. it's joyful. I think it was spot on. I was expecting it to make it to the list of 10.
le epic troll musicians moment
wOw
Hans Gruber's wedding 😂
For my brother's wedding, I played Schumann's "Träumerei" on my cello - I picked the piece, and my brother and his - now - wife loved it immediately. He also chose "Can't help falling in love with you" as a cello version.
I was super nervous to play because I am not a professional musician and I am not even a Ling Ling wannabe cause I don't have time to practice. But everybody expressed that they preferred a family member or friend to play at the wedding instead of some professional musician who nobody knows.
Wow!!! Awesome!
That's so sweet I'm sure you did amazing !
how sweet. really nice sentiment I'm sure it was lovely :)
Adding to this list: Borodin’s string quartet No. 2, III. Nocturne. This honestly might be the single most romantic piece of music I’ve heard. It tells the story of Borodin falling in love with his wife (the whole quartet was a gift to his wife), with her being represented by the violin and him the cello. You can hear the two of them “talking” to each other and “dancing” together, getting progressively more intertwined as they fall in love!
Then does the viola become the role of "Steve", the best friend that is always hangs out with the couple?
i was going to suggest this! i love this quartet so much
Thank you for the recc! Listening to it right now and I agree w/ how beautiful it is
Gosh that piece always makes me cry. I would be in floods if I watched someone walk down the aisle to it
If the couple are both musicians, a duet between their main instruments might be really sweet to have as one of the pieces. And if one of them can compose that duet or arrange it for their instruments, even better.
My fiancée and I are playing a song that we wrote together in lieu of our first dance for our wedding (coming in late April!)
@@laurenink8953 That's lovely. I hope it, and your coming marriage, are a great success.
@@laurenink8953 This is an excellent alternative to the first dance, what a great idea.
Eddy : **explaining music eloquently**
Brett : *PLAY THIS AT YOUR WEDDING AND YOU WONT GET DIVORCED!!!*
😂😂😂
Forget weddings, I'm going to play these classical music pieces for my funeral.
Sounds great! Gives me an idea... I can use Halidonmusic's playlist for villians for me (MuaHaHaHaHaHaaaaaaa!😼😹)
The Andante attributed to Albinoni.
I want Bolero played at my funeral!
YOU'RE going to play them?
... going to have them played for my ...
Imo, I think Tchaikovksy's "Melodie" is a very romantic piece, perfect for a celebration of love. Not every wedding has to be super "elegant" or anything. Love is not elegant; love can be messy, sudden, waning, and growing. Lost love, found love, unconditional love... these are all the things I feel when listening to Melodie. It just feels like love.
Seems unconventional, but my wife walked down the ailse to Satie's Gymnopedie No.1. It's so achingly beautiful with a nostalgic quality, as if you could listen to the piece whilst reminiscening on a life spent with your love.
yes I can really imagine that. Such innocence and serene.
Stop I considered this, makes me so happy I wasn’t the only one. It’s SO beautiful
I LOVE GYMNOPEDIE NO.1, it's so bittersweet, but enough to be left up to interpretation!
In Poland the standard wedding music is Mendelssohn's wedding march. It's very rare anything else is being played.
That's often viewed as a recessional piece (at least in the US).
I wish more people still used this!
Same in Russia, it's somehow a clichê.
Some churches in America won't use it because of the connotations which the piece was written with being not suitable for a holy sacrament.
In Germany, it's either that or Wagner's Bridal Chorus, both very cliché. I didn't know anyone played Pachelbel's Canon at weddings.
If I should ever marry (which is unlikely), I'd want Shostakovitch. And then a Schubert song about a broken heart for my divorce.
From playing at wedding gigs in the past to recommending not-canon wedding pieces now, you guys have really come full circle 😄
I had an all-Bach wedding. Entrance of family members and bridesmaids were preludes from well-tempered klavier and cello suites, lighting of candles by the mothers was the aria from Goldberg, my dad and I made a recording of us playing the 2nd mvt of the double together for our walk in, and then the unity candle was one of the more joyful Goldberg variations (cuz the moms had the theme).
obsessed with goldberg rn, do you know which variation for the unity candle?
You can never go wrong with Bach.
Playing a recording of yourself and your father at the wedding is so sweet. That sounds awesome :)
That's actually so cool!
This whole video was so romantic. I love how into it both of you were, not cynic at all. You treated a most holy sacrament with its due respect and dignity. And gave us beautiful recommendations 💕
I walked down the aisle to the andante movement of Mendelssohn’s piano trio No 1 in d minor Op 49… the entrance of the strings makes a beautiful moment for the bride to enter! ❤
A recording or live?
@@M_SC live! I’m very fortunate to have wonderful professional musicians in my life who are also dear friends. ❤
@@amandajones830 sounds wonderfulllll congrats!
If I was friends with Twoset, I'd request that they play Canon in D at my wedding just to troll them.
If one of them gets married,I hope that the other one will play Canon in D just for the sake of trolling 😄
they would mad at you, but you can give them 100% sugar bubble tea afterward
@@hadyanfakhri5967 with extra ice
@@gabir.b.5077 I'm hoping they marry each other. ❤❤❤
Sometimes I pretend I’m in a video with them and have full on conversations with them in my head
I cannot stop laughing at the jumpcut 5:25 , they both looked like they are high on drugs listening to the piece. I know how they feel... Don't we all..? LOL
Already had my wedding, but if we do a vow renewal I'm blasting B²TSM's Duh Duh Duh Dum on repeat.
Eddy: eloquently talking about the stories of the composers and why the piece is a good one for the wedding;
Brett: wHY PEoPLe PLaY CAnOn IN D??!!
Me: LOVE IT!!
Plot twist: One of them are getting married soon and this video is a ginormous foreshadow of what is yet to come.
If Brett or Eddy got married, I would be happy for them, but at the same time I would be kinda sad because TwoSet suddenly wouldn’t feel quite the same. 🫠
@@rileystanch3357 why lmao ? Do you love them ? why would it change anything
If I ever got married I would walk the aisle to Händel's Arrival of the queen of Sheba, for I am the queen. Seriously tho, it's one of the first pieces that really impressed the prepubescent me. It's so joyous and grandeur, love it!
This video came out a tad too late. I had to write my own small quintet (piano, violin, cello, soprano, tenor) to propose... recorded it with Fiverr artists (one of which was featured in TwoSet’s Fiverr video!)... It was quite an experience! And she said ‘yes’... The most useful video that helped me accomplish this was TwoSet’s demonstration of violin techniques... so thank you, Brett and Eddy! Without you, I would never think of composing for an instrument other than piano...
You probably wont see this but i really wanted to say please continue "reviewing" music like this😂first of all, it's super entertaining, and secondly i think it fits with your message of spreading classical music to more people.❤️
I agree!
Yesssss j really want a series like this to continue
I also agree! I love getting introduced to new classical music!
Me writing down pieces to play at my wedding despite having no love life
At my wedding, my husband’s entrance song was Traumerei on cello and mine was Dawn from the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack…not sure how Brett and Eddy feel about that piece, but it’s still one of my favorites.
Another suggestion: "The Swan" from Camille Saint-Saëns' The Carnival of Animals is also such a lovely piece to be played at a wedding. The solo cello is so soft and gentle.
I love how most of the time, Eddy was explaining the pieces' history, meaning, inspiration,... while Brett was like: "WHY CANON IN D?!?!!"
My boyfriends father is a great amateur pianist and once played Liszts Liebestraum no3 for us. It was so beautiful, it immediately made me cry! If we ever marry, I swear I'll force his father to play this on our wedding! 😄
How long has he been playing?
@@strawberystar his whole life, so for more than 40 years for sure!
Why not provide a way to have him record it professionally so you always have it? Such a treasure for everyone!
@@YouthfulOne maybe when he's retired 😊 right now he wouldn't have enough time I guess...
My dad is a singer and he sang "More I cannot Wish You" from the musical Guys and Dolls at my wedding. Not classical, but another underrated song.
Edvard Grieg's Morning Mood is a triumphant piece for me. 🎉 It gives a sense of nostalgia about the struggles you had to go through before reaching this stage of life and also hope for many days ahead as a married couple. Suitable to be played at a garden-themed of morning wedding. Where your soul is in contact with nature while your body is showered with sunlight.😘👌
tchaik 5 second movement, the horn solo is so pretty also dvorak silent woods would be such a good piece too
Twoset singlehandedly managing to reduce divorce rates. Truly epic.
Sorry TwoSet, I did enter the church on Canon in D, 20 years ago, and I still get butterflies and teary eyes each and every time I hear it. I listen to it on purpose and when I got married I had no idea it was a popular piece for weddings. It simply speaks to my soul.
I feel the same. I've cried to performances of it. Something about it just makes me happy.
It wasn't as hideously overused twenty years ago. You're in the clear.
@@csp.9203 I played weddings 20 years ago, and I can confirm that it was indeed overused back then, lol. But if it's your thing, it's nobody's place to judge! At least we didn't have to spend time learning new pieces when people chose it.
It’s a beautiful song that’s why. Musicians just “hate it” (apparently) because that’s all they ever play.
Personally, I don’t think I could get sick of any of my favourite songs.
find someone who gets as excited about you as eddy gets about bach 7:00
Loved seeing Liebestraum No. 3 on here, I just finished learning it today! I’m not a pianist and I’ve only been playing for 5 months so it was quite a challenge but I’m so happy I finished it, it’s definitely one of my favorites
I learned it a year ago and I'm playing it when I walk down the aisle next month, but all my friends said it was too sad so I was also very happy when they added it.
My wife and I had my violin teacher agree to play two Ghibli songs for the dance with her father and our first dance : Always with you (Spirited Away) and A Town with an Ocean View (Kiki)
That sounds like a cool wedding!
@@gohawks3571 it was ^^
You should have played the howls moving castle theme
@@strawberystar Too obvious ;)
Plus the symbolism isn't the same !
She danced on "always with you" with her father, the song introducing Chihiro leaving her old house, and she danced with me on Kiki's theme which opened the movie on Kiki's arrival to her new life ^^
I went to a wedding where the bride walked down the aisle to Gustav Holst's Jupiter, specifically the "I vow to thee my country" part. It was played by a brass quintet and church organist and sounded very grand.
6:23 let’s go violas represent!
It would be great if you guys could create a Spotify playlist with all these pieces and share the link in the video description 😇 just to save us needing to search and save each piece individually.
3:03 Greatest laugh of all time
We had classical guitar at our wedding I let the guitarist choose the music and he did not disappoint. Nothing was main stream classical but it was very romantic. The guys mentioned the 2nd movement of the Bach double and when they did it in November, it was so gorgeous. Eddy started with the statement on his rich Strad and when Brett came in on his sweet Strad it was so moving. Thanks, guys! All your work paid off.
Agreed! I listen to and watch them play that piece at least 3 times a week. ❤
OMG! Eddy has chosen the piece I liked - Gerald Finzi-Romance in E flat major. I never thought this could be a wedding piece, I only thought it was very romantic! Thank you Eddy! ❤️
Did Eddy just say... SONG??? 06:05
The thumbnail is....interesting
Seriously speaking, I think Fantasia also has a dreamy kind of feeling that fits wedding! Like, just imagine listening to Fantasia while friends and families hang around and chat, under warm sun with a slight cool breeze! And imagine Twoset playing it for you lol I'll have my eyes on Brett and Eddy all the time then LMAO jk
Agreed
how about the person you're getting married to?
you two always makes me think about happiness i am a loner and no friends have a family but not that close i am introvert. i am anti social life but you two just simply makes me happy and thats enough for me . thank you even i will never got a chance to meet you guys (probably i wouldn't, because i am scared of many people) . but here in TY its enough thank you
I was 100% sure that Rach concerto no 2 2nd movement is gonna be there
Classical musicians describing classical pieces is so magical to me. 🥰🥰🥰
“Morgen” by Strauss is a perfect wedding song because he literally wrote it for his wedding lol. Bortkiewicz piano concerto No.1 third movement is also amazing. There’s a beautiful moment in the third movement that just fills the room with love. hahaha! I know I’d play those in my wedding
I love Morgen!
Absolutely, is was actually written in a way that the original poem (mackay, i think) can be sung as a un-translation!
Coming back to check on the pieces list to listen to, I just want to add that, I was very surprised and inspired by the fact twoset get lessons for their Bach double. It was played really really really beautifully during the 4M and I love that piece to bits.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the Mendy and La Campanella in 2 weeks was impressive, but that Bach double get my soul. I love Bach music, there is always more you can explore with Bach, and that Bach double, while may be low ranking in twoset own violin duet tier list, probably technique requirement wise, has such high potential that when done flawlessly well, is just, beauty. And to me, in my humble oppinion, the 4M Bach double did not lose to any other recording on yt or spotify by renowned violinists. Your hard work pay off! What was more awespiring is that, I think you two probably could nail it normally with your current level and practice yet you go to teacher to improve it further, it tells much about music journey is never ending, a piece can futher be polished!
I keep go back to listen to it because how beautiful it was. Really. Thank you twoset for the wonderful performance and music!
When I saw the title of the video, I immediately thought of Rachmaninoff's Adagio from his second symphony and could not be happier seeing it at the end of this list. Despite it being on the long end, it is still easily one of the most romantic pieces I have ever heard.
I’m kinda surprised that y’all didn’t include Mahlers Adagietto, given the fact that he wrote it as a love letter to his soon to be wife.
Another great piece to add to the Liszt.
If i have to hear canon in D one more time at a wedding i'm gonna burst into flames
Thought you were gonna say burst into tears
be sure to sit close to the fire extinguisher
As a person who loves classical music and is also looking forward to their wedding, I feel so validated by these recommendations!!
I remember telling myself I'd have Liszt's Liebestraume play at my wedding ever since I first heard it and learned it's meaning 😭
Editor San is finally back in form with that brilliant thumbnail photo 😂😂😂
4:22 No waaaaay you put Brahms Op. 118 No. 2, I have literally been obsessed with this piece for years and it is BY FAR my favourite thing to play! And believe it or not, I have serenaded a girl with this once, with success hahaha, it's just too beautiful! Thanks guys for giving this piece the recognition it deserves :')
I fall in love with Liszt Liebestraum No. 3 the moment I listen to it, I felt that it was so romantic and heart touching, then I realized it has such beautiful meaning too. Now, I feel like tearing up everytime I hear it, it's just so so beautiful T^T
If you want something a little folksy for after the ceremony, might I suggest Appalacian Spring? It's very happy :D
If my marriage ain’t like what Brett and Eddy have then I don’t want it.
My wife walked down the aisle to the Jurrasic park theme and our first dance was to Merry Go Round of Life.
Ah I actually walked down the aisle with Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 last October on my wedding ^^ knowing that it's the first piece you recommend made me really happy ❤
please please please make more videos where you recommend masterpieces like you just did. I love the idea and need more pieces in my classical playlist (which already has 253 but the more the merrier!)
This isn't really classical, but The Merry-go-round of Life from Howl's Moving Castle would be beautiful for a first dance!
Wow, you actually picked a viola concerto! Brandenburg 6 is basically considered a double viola concerto (similar to the Bach double, but for smaller/lower ensemble). I've had the chance to perform one of the solo parts professionally (twice!), and it is such a wonderful piece! Also, very surprised you didn't include Schumann's piano quartet, mvt 3. Imo, the most beautiful love theme ever written.
During my wedding last December, I was the one tasked with the music. And so, I chose all the Classical Music that was never played in our place for weddings. (Usually, pop songs are played here).
I chose Salut d' Amour by Elgar, Air on G String by Bach, and some religious pieces arranged in a classical way like Love at Home and O Perfect Love.
It was a nice experience, seeing that my ideal wedding, which is solemn, really played out, thanks to the music we chose. :)
I feel like Tchaikovsky’s “Pas de Duex” would also be such a beautiful wedding song. It has that dream-like, sort of floating feeling to it, yet this beautiful underlying passion to it that would set it apart from other pieces.
Our families processed to Schubert Frühlingsglaube. My bridesmaids, flower girl, ring bearer, and I processed to Liszt Liebeslied (it’s in ABA’ so it was perfect). Yay for you guys highlighting it. I used to sing Widmung, and my husband loved hearing me sing it. My bridesmaid sang Strauss Breit Uber Mein Haupt. We did two congregational hymns, and we recessed to Chopin Grande valse brillante in E flat.
I’m getting married this September and having a string quartet play for the ceremony/cocktail hour!! Looooove these recommendations!! Thank u twoset♥️
THANK YOU for this list! I just found you guys a couple weeks ago and have been binging your videos since. I played violin through high school and my fiancé played clarinet. Watching your videos inspired us to look at more classical music to use for our wedding and this list is perfect! We’re getting married in August! I’ll let you know if we decided to use any of your suggestions!
finzi is so underrated man, his eclogue for piano and strings is also so beautiful
Hearing them describe how beautiful and elegant a wedding should be... it just makes me so happy. :>
The 10 pieces:
1) Debussy - Arabesque no.1
2) Tchaikovsky - String Quartet no.1, II. Andante Cantabile
3) Liszt - Liebestraum no.3
4) Bach - Overture from Ochestral Suite no.1 BWV 1066
5) Brahms - Intermezzo, Op 118, no.2
6) Schumann/Liszt - Liebeslied (Arrangement of Schumann's Widmung)
7) Bach - Brandenburg Concerto no.6 in B flat major
8) Bach - Concerto for two violins in D minor BWV 1043
9) Gerald Finzi - Romance in E flat major, op 11
10) Rachmaninoff - Symphony no.2, Op 27, III. Adagio
[Not all are full names, sorry bout that :)
Correct me if I made a typo]
Eddy is only wearing one earring
Hearing the Brahms piece reminded me that there's an absolutely gorgeous orchestral arrangement for it with a violin duet in the middle. It was one of my favorite pieces that I played in high school.
so you finally decided the kid takes Brett's name huh
It’s kind of pleasant just to listen to Eddy talk about love and see him daydream about a special day like that. Reminds me of my own wedding years ago.
jokes aside on Canon in D, I love classical music contents from you guys, and this video not only another video about more classical pieces appreciation, but also another set of music added to my playlist. Thank guys!
Also, yes, agreed with the point that, at the end of the day just play what music means a lot to you at the wedding, not what the world thinks, it maybe pop music, punk, rock, metal, etc. It's your day, make it yours truly. Hope everyone out there a fun day~
To be practical about it, having a piece with a clear andante tempo is pretty important for the song the bride walks down the aisle to so that she and whoever is escorting her (if there is someone) can walk down naturally and at a comfortable pace. I once was a bridesmaid at a wedding and the song had such a clear, slow tempo me and my friend walked down super slow (we couldn’t help it, we are dancers) and it was kind of awkward (it was not slow enough to go double time). Canon in d is easy to walk to, which I think is part of the reason it gets chosen so much.
So if you try walking to these recommendations, the only ones that work are the Bach pieces (except the last one, tempo is not as clear there). Some of them are impossible to walk to or too slow. I
I really want Spring 1 by Max Richter to be played at my wedding. It's just such a beautiful and happy piece with a continuous swell, I just love the idea of my bride walking down to the aisle as the piece crescendos to it's grand ending just as she gets to the front.
Ngl, that thumbnail had me😂 Thanks for a great video💗 When we got married, it was basically an elopement. We didn't invite anyone, nor did we really set to much up. Went to a resort & had a wedding/honeymoon! I would have enjoyed one of these pieces, but we just wanted to be married. So, I guess I'm saying that piece was an "I don't care, play whatever" piece🤣 (the Canon piece, I mean) We did have a great time!🎉🎉🎉
Edit: I guess I should explain it was a place that arranges weddings on site. It was no frills in the sense that they put everything together, but on the other hand it was a fancy honeymoon👍👍👍 Almost 11 years now!
I also wanted to comment on the thumbnail! :D
I don't know for a wedding, but Tchaik Symphony 5 second movement is peak beauty/romance to me
Arabesque is SO perfect for a forest wedding ❤
I ended playing Amuro Namie’s “Can You Celebrate (instrumental)” walking down the aisle. It’s the one on her Can You Celebrate - EP. Not the other word versions of it out there. Honestly such a beautiful piece and Canon in D is literally nothing compared to it. It has an orchestra with the piano and violin solo. A must listen! It’s also known as the wedding mix to some people! ❤
For our wedding, with the entrance we used the Simple Gifts section from Appalachian Spring by Copland. It's from a ballet that's about a husband and wife becoming a family, so the theme is perfect there. The motif is borrowed from a Quaker hymn, so you've got god there too, for those that want that. And last and best, it's got two perfect attention-grabbing swelling sections, which we used to time opening the doors at the chapel to first let in the bridesmaids/groomsmen, and then for the second, larger one, to open the doors for the bride. There's enough time between for everyone to make it up the aisle, and serves as a perfect cue for everyone on where to place their focus. You can even place in the actual hymn first and use that for the entrance of the grandparents/parents to use that as a 'those couples that came before us' allusion.
For the recessional, we used the first minute of Married Life from Up by Giacchino before it gets sad because it was one of our early dates, and we exaggeratedly swayed down the down the aisle with oversized steps in time with the music.
For the reception, we had a live 22 piece big band because we're swing dancers, and did a choreographed first dance to Orange Colored Sky by Nat Cole (and had recorded them playing it before so we knew their tempo to practice to) before they did 3 sets for everyone to dance to.
Importantly, no Canon in D.
These are absolutely superior wedding music choices. Love this!
I would recomend the second mvt of the 5th tchaikovsky's symphonie. One one the most beatiful piece ever written (in my opinion )
I love watching you guys describe how the music makes you feel
I want to say thank you to you both for what you do, your videos are hilarious and I find I always come back to rewatch them ( especially your musical game show videos!) I've always found violin a beautiful instrument, but you two have inspired me beyond that to learn violin in addition to piano (which I already play). My parents (I'm a minor) initially refused because they didn't want to put up with the squeakiness of a violin learner, but after a year of persistent hints that its a genuine interest of mine, they've bought me a violin as a reward for something recently!! My first violin lesson is going to be next week - my teacher is just upgrading the strings currently - and I'm so happy that I discovered your channel and the violin 😊 may Ling Ling be with you!
Your favorite classical music RUclips Channel finally upload a new video about classical music (with an ICONIC thumbnail)!!! I really miss this familiar vibe of two (nerdy lol jk) classical musicians discussing and recommending classical music!! Just love learning a bit this and that about classical music from Prof Chen and Prof Yang!! Even though I won't get married any time soon, I'll still check out these pieces (know some of them already) when I need something to calm me down, cause they all sound so dreamy! Thanks, my favorite classical music YT channel TSV!!
I was gonna say the same thing 😃 finally this type of explanation and introductory video about classical music is BACH!
In my country, the standard wedding music is Wedding March by Mendelssohn!
You never stop surprising us. Great way of raising awareness of less popular classical pieces. Great🔥
I love it when you two come back with a traditional video 🥰
Finally Twoset is back 🥰
I just had a thought that the second movement from Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 would work really well! The orchestral intro would really amp up the anticipation and tension, and the bride could enter to the beautifully serene piano... It works perfectly, I think. As long as no one makes the connection to "All By Myself," that is.
I sincerely love this video so much, there are so many wonderful underappreciated treasures out there. It even makes me emotional thinking about it even though I am very far from getting married any time soon haha
I think Brett has become more emotional with time. It's nice to see.
