it's so cute how when one is playing the other is trying to follow without making sounds
TwoSet proper explaining videos are a highlight of my week (and they're still funny). When they're on top form like this, they make clear explaining that a non-specialist can learn from look easy; but THAT is really hard.
You guys make classical music so easy to understand and your love for it makes it even more intriguing.
Very, very interesting to hear accomplished musicians talking about the nuance needed for a quality performance.
The Brahms concerto is my favourite and I've alwyas tried to understand just why I like it so much, and I think they actually gave me part of the explanation here: yes it's extremely virtuosic (and damn hard) for the violin soloist, but that soloist isn't just plopped "on top of" the orchestra like a cherry on a cake.
They are at the very heart of it, sometimes breaking out in a passionate solo, sometimes delicately playing along supporting the oboe, sometimes blending in a massive orchestral sound being just louder enough, just different enough, to be like that one voice you pick out from a crowd. The constant shift from separation to harmony and back between the soloist and orchestra is just so awesome.
It must make it so hard to practice though, you have to imagine what the orchestra will sound like, and then you have to adapt so much on rehearsal to get everyone on the exact same page!
I loved the shout-out at the end to Flesch's scales! Those will always be the best warm-up.
Brett's Bach Andante playing was just so beautiful!
I really love you two being all nerdy digging into the essence of the pieces and showing your own interpretations. It is a pure treasure to having someone share their perspectives coherently and concisely, so that we can be educated enough to value these music properly. Genuine appreciation for Twoset!👏
(btw, Eddy 's always such a master of rhetoric❣)
"Debussy made this so hard" ~fellow first violin out of context
I first heard Bach Andante when Brett played it in one of their videos, it has since became my favourite classical music piece. Thanks for introducing me to it TSV!
As someone learning this piece, Brett's Bach Andante blew me away and brought a huge smile to my face :)
Here is my second petition for TwoSet to do a difficulty tier list of all movements from Bach's solo violin sonatas and partitas!
I love it when we get a solid technique/ history/music theory lesson. Thanks 🙏 professor Chen and professor Yang.
Nice to see them low-key show off, even for a few bars. And laughed so much at editor-san's aside about Brett spending so much time on the Bach andante only to forget where he played it. At least he didn't forget the piece itself.
brett: this piece is rly hard
also brett: *nails the piece*
“It needs to sound like the sunrise”: Such fab imagery!!
It's easy to forget how great you guys are, since you guys are actually quite modest about your own playing. Not to mention we get very used to having so much content about world class players like Hilary Hahn or Chloe. So I'm glad for this kind of video!
I love how Eddy's dancing along to Brett's playing. That's a love of music right there.
This video was so educational. Your analyses were very detailed and easy to understand. When you compared different phrasing back to back, it was clear how it can make such a big difference.
Timestamps for playing excerpts:

Reminds me of a saying between flutists, that the thing, that is actually hard, are long notes with a simple melody, cuz ur technique is exposed there. Ur vibrato, ur breath range, ur musicality and ur articulation. And so much more. The fast runs and jumps in octaves are hard, but u can hide so much in them. Also flutists are used to do them as composers use them so often.
The first one sounds like there's two violins playing how the hell
0:10 Good value 👍🏼
On the Andante: agree with everything. But it needs to be said: it's also one of the most beautiful and profound pieces ever written.
Now THAT was an incredibly superb lesson for musicians and non musicians alike. Twoset...Thanks for this fabulous video. More More MORE like this video! 😃
As a new viewer bouncing between a lot of random content I have to say I think this is my favourite cos they really explain it in a way non musical people can understand and demonstrate it the same. You can hear exactly what they’re trying to convey and it also just gives you such an appreciation for the correct way. I love whenever they play seriously cos it’s just so pretty and controlled and you can really tell how skilled they are. Makes me want to see it live
(Also genuinely makes me wanna pick my flute back up lol)
I always learn so much when you break down parts of the music & discuss what makes it work, or not work. Please do a Masterclass! ❤
From my days as an orchestral musician: Anyone can play fast and loud; the real challenge is playing softly and slowly. Your examples are all proof of the validity of that statement.
I love the serious videos so much more than the funny ones. Thank you guys for educating me :)
love this video a lot, and I just keep coming back to it, just almost 15 minutes of you two, nerd out about the music, the pieces, your explanation about why it is hard, showing us how you appreciate the pieces and I love it! Please feel free to give us more 'nerd' video like this, a part 2? maybe, please? this is so interesting to listen to, along with your playing of course :'3.
Also no one has point out that during this whole video Brett doesn't bring out the deapan face anymore, just him and Eddy enjoying the classical music nerd out and bopping his head to the music, I really want to say that Brett actually really expressive, he is probably just putting that face for the lol during vids cause ppl keep pointing that out as contrast to Eddy always doing something funny when he is playing. Honestly, love you guys both being expressive, please feel free to do so, thank you for the explanation and more playing!
I would love to hear Brett on the Bach, Violin sonata no.2 and Eddy play the Bach Sicilliana! You both sound amazing during the tibbits, and a bit of a challenge for you two probably won't be bad right?
The Nobel prize of world peace should be awarded to twoset violin
I have been a twoset fan for a few years now and sometimes, I do feel left out as a nonmusician. I just enjoy classical music and your humour. Thankful for videos like these that break it down to us. ❤️
Same
Love Brett’s Bach andante sooooo much, makes me feel peaceful every time. Thank you!!!
I get goosebumps in sections wherein you guys play how you think the pieces are supposed to sound - they're so majestic and refined!
I've been learning to play the violin for 3 months now because I was inspired by your passion. I'm still enjoying every bit of practice days, juggling it with my uni studies. Whenever I hear you guys play, I always aim to express the piece I'm learning the way you do. It's disheartening because I feel like I'm lacking a lot, since I don't have a teacher to guide me.
Nevertheless, that's not stopping me! Thanks for this educational video! I'm motivated to practice better!
Such a genuine channel. I learn so much from twoset.
Definitely want to see more pieces like this! I learned a lot about the nuances of these pieces that only violinists know
I wish I could upvote this 10 times. Excellent video!
I've found that in an orchestra, the very delicate pieces like Mozart, Debussy or the slow Mahler movement in Symphony no. 5 are the ones that are the most teeth-gnawshinginly, shoulder-tensing to play (and that's as a violist :p)
Oh heck yeah, especially if your instrument doesn't 'speak', so so hard... can easily result in the withering experience of someone dismissing your playing, "I'm not impressed." (extra points for super wilt if the listener is your teacher)... btw this is one of the best videos you have put out, totally a valuable tute!
Every time Twoset plays I end up buying a Hillary Hahn album on iTunes.
I love them with serious playing and educating! Thank you prof. Yang and Chen!!! So soothing in the ears. I'm learning so much in this channel..
the third installment in the series: 5 pieces that are exactly as hard as they sound
So relatable! The first time I really struggled on stage was playing Mozart's 3rd concerto. It was painful and really traumatizing. I needed years to be able to play a piece of Mozart in a way I was proud of (and it is still not perfect).
The other pieces are also very hard.
Mozart is a trauma in generell. I still don't manage to play his pieces with this feeling of easiness after years of playing the piano. :(
@@anahitamirzarazi4424 I easily believe you. Mozart is definitely Lingling level.
I love any time you talk about the solo sonatas and partitas. They are kind of my Quixotic life project.
Please could we have a Part 2 for this?? As a violin learner I find this super interesting!!😃
These are my favorite kind of videos!! Going deep into the technicalities and explanations. Thanks!
"I dont wanna accompany the orchestra" welcome to rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto
The Bach is crazy hard because the tendency is for it to get beaty. The tuning is easily solved with practice, The angle of the bow is easily solved. Trying to get the single notes to sound like they're louder than the double stops so it phrases properly is almost impossible.
11:50 - that musical transition OMG!!!
I'm not a musician, but when I heard Bach Andante for the first time I was like how tf did you do that?! From the other video I watched, I tried to find where the lower note come from but it was so smooth that I couldn't see the bow movement and can't tell if it was played by one person. Thank you for the explanation, now I know it is indeed played by one person.
I love this video so hard! Happy they responded quickly to the many requests in the last video to do exactly this. Would like more pieces but I understand they'd be difficult to demo since this is an intersection of pcs that are more difficult than they sound and pcs they can play. I wouldn't object to their playing a clip of a virtuoso's video with commentary, however. Part 2, please?
when the camera was zoomed in on brett during the first piece, i thought eddy was playing accompanist. i was surprised when it zoomed out and brett was the only one playing
He is so good!
I like you guys so much when you’re being silly, but I love you when you seriously shed light on violin technique and repertoire!.
Thank you for doing this video! Excellent choices - Bach and Mozart in particular. Funny enough, I hated playing Bach as a kid because I thought it was boring and easy and I didn't fully understand how cool it is to be able to accompany yourself - kinda like playing the piano but on violin. Now, one of my favorite pieces is Bach Chaconne because I can hear the multiple voices and appreciate how freaking hard it is do that well (thanks to Hilary Hahn's flawlessly gorgeous Bach performances ❤). Anyway, I'd love to see your list in the future for chamber and orchestral music! Love these types of educational videos. Keep it up :)
Love how Brett still practices with his left hand while Eddie is playing. Never not practicing!
The Bach pieces y’all chose I really respect. Being a cellist I’ve had to do the Bach cello suite 2 minuets, and they kicked my ass for so long haha
I would listen to them for hours
WE LOVE NERDY TWOSET. BRING BACK NERDY TWOSET.
i'm not a musician, but in the first one i did think there was some background sound or something because i believed there were two sounds, but it was just brett being awesome
I was teaching and desperate for the class to be finished just for watching my favorite RUclipsrs.
It's so interesting hearing you guys describe the Brahms one as an "accompaniment", because I really enjoy listening to the 2nd mvt but never realised it's technically an accompaniment to oboe. To me, the violin part can be considered the co-protagonist of the musical whole - it's an intricate duet - and that's the ingenious and beautiful aspect about it - I feel the violin writing is beautiful by itself even though there are weird arpeggios throughout.
It's a similar feeling I get I suppose - when I listen to Rach 2 2nd mvt - the initial piano part is just simple arpeggios accompanying flute/clarinet, but then I can't get enough of them - it's beautiful because you know it serves a "higher purpose": giving soul to the main melody!
Petition for even more BACH serious playing 💓 seriously 💕
"Sounds easy..." oh is that what easy sounds like?
I love this! Serious education and beautiful music. I love you guys silly and I adore you as educators and musicians. Kisses.
*Eddy:* The reason why this is so hard is because you're basically playing the soloist and the accompanist at the same time
*Pianists:*
This is like group therapy. Beautifully explained, guys.
Thank you for today's video. Very instructive. I really like to see you play seriously and how much passion you bring to the music that you play.
I love that Eddie played the same phrase twice and explained the musicality and then just played all the same notes, but sounding one dimensional, directionless, but in tune. You can hear the difference in a professional level and amateur style.
Just WOW .....And Eddys Beethovens romantic no.2 in F was AMAZING!!! I want more of that!
I have been one week playing this andante bach..so beautiful and sad in the same time..
I love how Brett lets Eddy play most of them while he just sits and listens and judges
I'm glad the Siciliana was here. It often gets overlooked, but actually making it sound good is one of the hardest things in all the Bach Sonatas and Partitas.
Brett, please play Bach's Andante in its entirety for us! 🙏❤️
loove this video! as a pianist, I can confirm: Mozart and Bach are soooo difficult to get right! You are my role models, keep up the good work!
Bach Andante sounds like Bach was short on violinist that day and has to do like 3 voices in one
Mozart's concerto no 5 was always a favourite of mine, and I've literally had it as a dream piece from the moment I started violin! It's very ...conforting.., I guess, to see that it ranks high in difficulty (I know, I know, of course it's diffficult, it's Mozart!) because I am still struggling a lot with it! I feel like I'll never reach the perfection I need to have for this concerto (or anything by Mozart really)
I've been watching Bretty (Brett + Eddy) for a while now, but this one is where i felt like i learned a lot and understood the complexity of the violin the most. I focus more on singing, so a lot of what they were saying reminded me of what i learn from that (emotion, style, emphasising, etc.). But no joke, i did think that Beethoven-Romance No.2 did sound a little easy until they explained the musicality and everything. I just love and adore Bretty💕 They're so cool.
I love this episode. I think I’m learning some stuff
Beautiful playing, wonderful how there are brought out different engaging personalities of the written notes, to be seen and heard in the played pieces! Interesting explanations, thank you! 🎶
The Bach Andante blew my mind… I can only dream of playing that at my current level😱
As a non violin player I found this one of your most interesting videos. More of this please!
6:35 so right about Mozart
Technically this is where you first tackle a “real” concerto after Vivaldi and Bach Double Concertos, but it’s so easy to miss the phrasing and if you miss one note you’re screwed.
It’s the equivalent of the Tiki Taka of the Spanish soccer team. Seems simple but EVERYTHING has to be be right on time
Loving Twoset University education!!! 😘😘😘 -from a non-musician fan
I started playing violin at the age of 30 thanks to you guys. Started theoretical classes and am using a private tutor with experience in regards of grown up pupils. I am enjoying it massively. These kind of clips keep me on my toes though!
I absolutely love this kind of content! I daresay even my favorite. I’m not classically trained so I’d love to be educated. :D Also I was very surprised because all of the five pieces are my favorites.
I love your videos and have spent the last few weeks watching many, many of the back catalogue since discovering your channel.
May I say what a pleasure it was to hear you both play today so beautifully ❤️
This is such a fantastic video! Violinists…the struggle is real! You guys give such great explanations and demonstrations..kind of like a mini master class! Thank you!
3:53 :Brett adorably playing with Eddy 😍
I learned so much from this one. Thanks, TwoSet.
Because of this channel I've started to listen to more classical music. Bach is one of my favorites. But now youtube is recommending gospel videos all the time!! Thanks Twoset! You broke my algorithm!!! 😒
I’m actually playing an accompaniment in a concert band piece and as a tenor sax player I’m so used to holding back/not being too loud. This was actually very helpful
Love this!
When Brett started playing the first one I thought Eddy was accompanying him, then realized he’s playing both!
And we all know what you do are a lot harder than it looks. Thanks for making learning & educating so much fun!
hi i'm still in primary school and at my school, there is this music thing where professional musicians come to our school and teach children 1 of the 3 instruments they wanted to play. you had to choose 3 so i chose trumpet, flute and violin. i especially wanted violin and i actually got it! so far i havent the pros just measured what size violin ill get. (3/4)
I feel so smart now 😂😂😂 and being a non musician person this means a lot. Thank you twosetviolin 💜💜💜
Really cool when Twoset shows off their talent, makes me really appreciate how much effort and practice they do
the bwv 1003 andante was so romantic and beautifully played. love bach
Love the Bach. Well done Brett. Well done Eddy on the Mozart. Love these 2 composers music though they are hard to get right.. would love to hear more of the second Bach from you Eddy. Thanks for this video.
6:23 that recording at the background music is SO GOOD WOW
Enjoyed this video so much! Love Brett and Eddy’s violin playing and they brought so much insights to these pieces:)
0:59 I ve replayed so much can’t get pass it
