Imagine if Editor-san sneaked a clip of Brett and Eddy's early recordings. Would they give praise or roast themselves? Haha
That'd be awesome
They must do this in the next one 😂
I would guess they'd recognize their playing. They've already watched themselves playing as kids. Can't remember when but look at their old videos.
I think about that too hahaha
Probably roast themselves
No one:
Brett Yang: pulls out a bunch of Ling Ling medals for emotional support after his self-esteem gets destroyed by prodigies.
As he should tho 😌
Probably those are Eddy’s medals tho
@@lynnnalee9866 those are Brett’s. the medals appeared on old video
@@ajchandra7735 they both have medals, I assume Brett’s are in Brett’s house tho
I found nothing for me to support my self-esteem.
Another delightful episode of "crushing my self esteem and all of my dreams"
Pog through the pain :l
Haha
Life esteem 💀💀
The title of this video should be renamed: Don't Click On This Video If You Want To Preserve Your Self-Esteem.
It would be interesting as well to do a « guess if it’s a veteran (pro) violinist or a child prodigy »
YES
I guess they would be able to guess that easily
that would be epic
@@booksandmusic2526 yeah, I'm pretty sure they could tell.
I agree with the other comments, they would definitely be able to guess that more easily. They were clearly pointing out things that needed a little work so I assume prof would barely get that feedback.
Classical musicians are "old" "bald" and "greasy", they said.
The "old" "bald" and "greasy" are us non prodigies when (and if) we will get near the prodigies quality.
Greasy maybe but age isn’t required anymore
_"No matter how good you are, there's always an 8-year-old asian who can do it better."_
Truer words have never been spoken.
Out of curiosity: what if you’re that 8-year-old asian?
@@tomatotoons1045 There's another 8-year-old asian who can do it better.
@@tomatotoons1045 then there's a 5 year old Asian better than you
@@tomatotoons1045 Aunty Karen's Daughter will be better than you
@@tomatotoons1045 As a 14 year-old Asian, I can confirm that at 8 years old I was just sleeping the whole day so
since twoset's bringing back the old series, can we please bring back twoset charades too?
yesss the charades are actually the videos that made me sub to them
bring back "guess the composer"
We have to bring back the Davie vs twoset
yes pls
Yes!!!
Eddy: "If I started practicing 8 hours a day, I'm not confident I could get Erlkönig sounding like that in 1 year."
Everyone: Mark your calendars!
I remember nel cor* 😆
(I had misspelled the title of the piece, yet at least 8 people understood what I meant)
4 million subs... Let's Go!
Yeah pls eddy do it
Wasn’t he talking about Dvorak?
Duh, why don't you practice 40 hours?

Love that❤
Alternate Title: How to Feel Depressed About Your Playing (Again)
Gotta love a part two
@@ILikeBirds haha
Yep definitely feel depressed now
What depression looks like to 14 yrs old:Billie Eilish
What depression actually is:
a relapse basically
Alternative Intro: "Welcome to another *Crushing Our Self Esteem* episode."
i have lost my self esteem a long time ago.
Guess prodigy's age
Eddy: actually trying to guess the age
Brett: Nine
I also noticed 🤣
“It’s also all about hardwork and practice”
people: is this a prodigy? **sacrilegious noises intensifies**
*Le GaSp*
maria dueñas REALLY is something else. as soon as i heard them listening to the recording i was sure it was her. 100% certain she'll be a legendary violinist up there with the greats in only a few years
agreed. she's so amazing
I got so excited when that recording came up, I immediatly yelled "It's María, it's her!"
I've listened to that Paganini recording countles of times because of how good it is.
Which competition was that from?
Those fast notes remind me of flamenco guitar players. Must be something in their genes 😂
@@johanarifinroslan9678 Seems like Zhuhai International.
When you try saving your self-esteem: "It's a bit out of tune" -Eddy
Haha
"It takes time to develop violin skills" - Isaac Newton C.2021
Every single time I see these prodigies I think to myself,
*why even try.*
"It's also about hard work and practice" right! everybody wants to be a child prodigy until you have to practice 40 hours a day starting when you're like 5, miss hanging out with friends etc., it takes a lot of dedication. I know a few child prodigies from going to a music school here in Russia growing up and it gets more intense than just participating in competitions (lots of kids did and won the latter), a few of them ending up rebelling against their parents later on and they barely play now
Yep, I've wondered that too. The joy of playing gets strangled in time... So sad.
So true that’s sad.
@@wakingtheworld I think it's a disservice to child prodigies to assume they're all miserable and being forced to do something though. Most child prodigies aren't "forced" to do anything. You simply can't get to the level of world prodigy through forced discipline, because children don't work like that. They always burn out. All it takes is looking at the faces of kids who play their instruments to know how much they love it. And the fact is in any hobby, there's no gain without pain. Think of the US Olympic gymnasts or Russian figure skaters, most of whom get their first gold medal before they're 21. Theirs is a field where your career ends early, it takes children with a special kind of personality--they tend to be more monotonously driven than the average child (rather than most kids who have ADHD when it comes to hobbies, which is also healthy and normal), and also come from a socioeconomic class that allows their parents to support their endeavors. I also think children like this are more mentally resilient because they're so driven by passion that they're capable of withstanding hours of practice, and even more failures than most adults can even imagine. You simply can't get so far unless you really love what you're doing.
@@xtwinni Appreciate your long reply, Willow... Ok, one can't tar them all with the same brush but they do miss out on life. I recall the TwoSet 'Draw Our Lives' vid where, I believe, Eddy said that he was advised when he was a teenager to take some time out and experience life...
As a non-musician, I would actually love to see a video of you guys straight up practising. Maybe even a livestream, I don't know. I'm genuinely curious to see how it works.
There are some vids of piano practicing going on. Several piano students / semi-pros.
You can check their Sibelius and Tchaikovsky Livestream
A concert pianist, Tiffany Poon, also does practice vids! Also inspires me to practice so lol
For me anyway the practicing process at the very beginning is a bit humiliating
Hilary Hahn does short practice videos on her instagram and explains what she's trying to accomplish and why she does what she does on each practise session ;)
For people who don't already know: There actually is a cheat-code for violin. By playing the notes 'L-I-N-G' twice in a row, you will automatically learn to play the violin flawlessly, and adopt your own style to it.
However, because of the disastrous aftermaths of various great musicians unlocking this secret code for a variety of instruments, modern music theory cap notes to G (previously H). Today, only a handful remain that know how to go beyond these notes.
in order to play those notes, you have to practice 40 hours a day.
Germans are behind the times and still kept the H
That’s good to know. By the looks of it, I am 25% there - I can play G.
I guessed Maria Duenas correct!!! her sound is so unique and right off the bat im like the only one who can have this rich and powerful sound is gotta be her!!
What was she playing?
@@iriqouispliskin Paganini concerto 1
Yeahh, her playing sounds so fiery and energetic
@@iriqouispliskin Paganini | Violin Concerto No. 1 | 2017 Zhuhai International Violin Comp
Ay but Maria just blew my mind she’s so good :’)
Those ricochets though. She looks and sounds so confident
them guessing the age by actually analysing the playing
me guessing by identifying the prodigy after hearing the recording in the past and then remembering the child's age
Good for you. I could never remember those things.
3:56 love how Brett has his medals on hand, ready to bring back his self esteem after this video 😂
lol like a first aid kit
Fun fact: These prodigies are Maestro "Ling Ling"s kids!
Ling ling pro max.....!!!
@@rajagopal3432 more like ling ling lite
I really love Maria Duenas' playing. It sounds different than the rest idk what is that but as soon as I heard her recording I was like, wow that's different.
"I was going to say nine but then you said nine, so I went eight."
Eddy Chen, 28, hates losing
The playlist for this episode is now up on the Playlist channel. Today's selection of videos is extremely impressive, it's so worth listening to the full pieces.
The Erlkönig video is completely in Japanese, it wasn't easy to find it 😅
Thank you for this - I was looking for those videos 😁
Wow, super fast. Thanks!!
@@oxoelfoxo I made the playlist while watching
they reacted to her video with her twin sister
@@mikefung9145 Yea I remembered. That's how I found the Erlkönig video at all. I don't speak Japanese.
There is a theory that prodigies mastered these skills in a previous life and brought them over to this next life. I choose to believe this because it makes me feel better about myself...
I believe this anyway, so was Roman Kim once Paganini?
To be honest, that's the only thing that makes any sense to me. I have no better explanation
I’m pretty sure they are professional bakers and bubble tea chefs not professional violinists.
LOL
Those baking skills... I have seen loads of 5 year-old kids cook and bake better than what those two boys had demonstrated
@@catherinetypist2371 All professionals have to start somewhere :)
Offensive af
@@juana6919
Take a joke? And they really are iNtErEsTiNg with the bbt channel with additional violin content :)
Yes, these prodigies are all great, BUT 11:36 LOST?
YOU GUYS HAVE A VIRTUAL WORLD TOUR COMING UP AND THAT'S MINDBLOWING AF!!
4:04 their build-up reaction before their shocked faces appeared are so priceless
Gotta give Editor-San thumbs-up for releasing this video that shows how fun these guys had...in having their soul-crushed.
I love how twoset are so generous with their praise and respect, and at the same time teaching us what to listen for in such awesome playing.
Yes, I was going to comment on how their analyses of the techniques of each violinist, the skill level age expectation and size of violin would indicate their age... but they are jaw-droppingly & almost unbelievably talented...
Damn.... that Maria girl is gonna be the next violin goddess. I've watched this video several times, and I still get goosebumps every time I hear her playing 😮👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Do you know why none of us are affected by prodigies anymore?
because we don't even have a self-esteem in the first place.
🤣
Not wrong tho
"I think I lost but, uhm, I think in some ways we both lost in life." LOL eddy with that double depression
4:08 The violin skills were so good that it activated their fight responses lol
they went from
4:03 "that sounds good"
to
4:06 😳
to
4:07 😱
real quick
Behind every prodigy is a master teacher. I refuse to believe otherwise. :O holy moly
You know the musician's good when you can see TwoSet's tonsils
👀
👄
Lol😆 so true! love the comment
This is like a 6yo winning motocross with training wheels still attached
The young girl, otoha togashi looks so familiar. Didn't twoset react to a pair of 7 year old twins before? She looks like a grown up version of one of them!
Edit: I checked. It IS her, one of the ling ling twins. There's a video of her sister playing God Save the Queen in a seperate video O.O
I thought the same.
They also reacted to her playing Paganini’s Nel cor piu non mi sento when she was 10. Those twins are absolute beasts on the violin
Yes, you're right
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Eddy: Sohyun… *SO YOUNG*
When I heard the Paganini recording I guessed the age is 14-15 and I thought it sounded like Maria Dueñas... I'm really surprised how I guessed all of that right despite being a non-musician... Twoset has taught me well 😌
Ah yes perfect for when you have a recital up soon
I already know all the answers :
They're all way younger than you cause they PRACTICED 40 hours a day even in the womb
I had forgotten that violin prodigies are a thing for a couple months, since you two haven't mentioned them for a while. Best couple months of my life
Dear self-esteem,
Please come back. I'm sorry for destroying you. I won't do it again, just please come back 3:
Sincerely,
Maru :))
Eddy: "everyone here has been.."
me: "annihilated."
Someone needs to sneak in some of Brett and Eddy's recordings into these so we can see them analyze their own playing.
Another episode of letting down my self esteem with these child prodigies😆 even though I don't play any instruments 😁
"There's gravity and it takes time to develop violin skills" 😂
You know its serious when Eddy speaks Japanese
The girl who is playing Ernst is actually Mirei, not Otoha. They are identical twins and both exquisite violinists.
I just adore when they get all excited bc of the performers being so good 4:02

@@tomboybb2845 wow that’s awesome! Please let her know she’s one of my favorite young violinists!
I lost it when Brett pulled the medals 😂😂
As a 14 year old and being a violinist this makes me feel Insignificant.😢😭
"They're getting younger" -Twoset
9:20 yo that's my comment! I remember watching that video and I was unable yo believe what I was seeing... These kids deserve my utmost respect. Keep it up! 🎼🎻
Seems like they mixed up Mieri with Otoha as well
-Mieri's violin is the black one
@Da Dolphin Girl yes, I was wondering about that! You're right, Mirei's violin is the black one.
7:07 "Newton's Laws of Physics says there's gravity, and it takes time to develop violin skills."
THIS HAD ME CACKLING THAT WAS SO FUNNY
You can see Teacher Brett & Teacher Eddy coming out, not just in their comments on the technique but their gentle praise as well
4:05 *The music and Eddy's reaction matched perfectly!!!*
Maria Dueñas = otherworldly talent
We will get there guys! And we will have a lot of satisfaction from the increasing mastery levels we achieve. Not only in music, but over mind and emotion!
I’m 43 and I practiced some piano the other day. I’m the best I’ve ever been at it. I’m learning HOW to practice now.. when I’m less stressed and tired. I had less tension in my playing as everything was less of an effort as I wasn’t so tired. Ana it was fun. And I could see that if I keep going.. well every study I learn to play is filling out aspects of my technique.
As a member of the composer gang, I am honestly excited that this is the generation that's gonna play future concertos I might write that'll make it
This is code for: Twoset violin almost gives up on their careers
Imagine having more experience in violinplaying then they have in LIFE and still get owned by their skills
But... can those kids bake cupcakes? ;D
4:04 Eddy's eyebrow here killed me
Poor Brett had to hold on to the piano for stability.
Don't forget, you are GREAT violinists and we were all in awe of your playing when you were kids!
The thing that I like the most abt this amazing Chanel is that they make practice and violon in general more exciting and they personally motivate me to go to study ( sometimes remind me too ) you guys r the best in what your doing
The fact that Brett look like a little kid, playing like a heroe at the end trying to describe how awesome this prodigies play, made my day
I sincerely hope that there's a part 3 to this
Don't be so hard on yourself, you both got additional talent to entertain people, you're creative and dedicated to share classical music in more accessible way, it's equally beautiful as being a prodigy. We all still enjoy watching and listening to you even though there's so much talent on the internet, that's significant, am I wrong? ✨❤️
I gotta say, I absolutely love you guys, and every time I watch your videos I discover more and music that I love, and more composers I want to listen to. I’ve loved classical music since I was a baby (no joke, I was exposed very early) and no matter how vast my musical taste gets, classical will always be close to my heart. Thank you guys so much for continuing to expose people to classical music ❤️
Maria and the last one made the greatest impression on me, but they were all great
Literally just subscribed off another video. Refreshed my subscriptions, bam. TwoSet video.
I came upon your channel on my recommended. I’ll be honest, I don’t play an instrument, but I am really enjoying your videos. I think this about the tenth one, in a row, I’ve watched. Very talented, amazing personalities, and handsome/cute. So happy I’ve found TwoSetViolin.
Great video guys. You help put perspective on the playing of these prodigies and made it fun. Keep doing what you're doing. Prodigies are a dime a dozen but there's only one TwoSetViolin.
The amount of violin pieces we've discovered thank to them
Ok, I know I've been talking about this for like, many many times already, but please rest well, eat a lot, drink less bbt and coffee, and get more sleep! (My mom just told me the same thing today, so yeah, let's work on this together!)
12:12 instead of go practice Eddy, you should go sleeping... please...
YES! This needs more likes. (Although a moderate amount of bbt is allowed haha)
@@anniejoy7811 Yep, moderate amount of bbt is like a mood booster or a reward! Eddy really gives me a worry tbh, I now understand why my mom worried about me that much whenever she saw me lol
Eddy admitted to being tired at the start of the baking cup cakes vid... They have a HUGE load on their plate atm... and it ain't food.
Love these type of video from twoset. Keep them coming please. :)
Maria Duenas has the ripped arms, you both might only have a chance of winning against her in a fist fight if you took her 2 on 1...
I love having my self esteem crushed by talented children. It happens way too much being on the internet
4:05
Brett & Eddy : 😳😲 wow we can't believe
They face so funny 😂
This is a good introduction for me to wonderful recordings, so thanks guys :)
this is like "guess the age of anime characters" they might look 12, but they are actually 400 year old demons.
Can I just say though, the fact that Twoset is willing to do videos like this, where they openly compare themselves in an unfavorable light, really says something about them. Not many people are willing to a) admit that they have been surpassed, and b) make light of that fact and use it for entertainment. Most would not do that. Watching both of you is very...wholesome, I would say. I'm not good with words, I'm probably not expressing this well, but just watching the two of you is such an uplifting experience. If I could get one wish granted, not joking, I would honestly wish that I could meet both of you in person. (Which will never happen, because I don't have the good fortune to live anywhere near you guys, but it would be a nice dream.)
When you don't even play the violin but have been educated by twoset enough that you know it's insane to play Erlkonig
Btw I thought the name looked familiar, and she's the one from the twins in the "7-Year-Old Violin Prodigies Are Going to Replace Us"
I am not sure if it is her or her sister that did nel cor più non mi sento at 10.
Like OMG
And those wonderful pieces as well, brought me so much joy!!!
I’m so excited- my orchestra is going to Philly next month and we get to meet Maria Duenas after!!!!
Please bring back the "if my violin were a person part ii" 🙈
TwoSet: hears erlkonig
TwoSet: aight imma head out
I absolutely love watching the reactions from you guys. Hilarious and your insights are amazing.
Nice to see them less crushed than they were in previous similar videos. Did you guys finally get a higher self esteem after all those great things you've done?🥳
