Honestly, the funniest part was that Ray didn't even want to guess BECAUSE he didn't want to offend. Annnnnnnd he did anyway! (lol Eddy took it well, tho)
when you play music a lot you end up with a ton of sheets, and since you can't print them double sided, they just end up being used as random pieces of paper eventually lol
@@iviolin6211 Don't be. 😊 Ray, Brett and and Eddy grew up in the same city and have been friends for many years. I can guarantee you that the three of them had a great time shooting this video together ! 😄

When you get past 25, All your friends will fade from you. Because they will have kids, get buried into their career and/or get into drugs. Hopefully you meet and marry someone you click really well with, and be able to fart infront of. She/He will be your only bestfriend till either of you die on eachother first. Its a sad reality, but that's why I make sure I'm positive around my girl and I try my very fucking best not to be a dick. When I'm really a cynical gallow-humored cockwaffle

Its hard not to feel bad for Ray, doomed to spend the rest of his life as a little more than a world famous classical musician, forced to live with the knowledge that he just couldn't make it in the highly prestigious and competitive violin charades scene :'(
I’m not a musician so I can’t hear their impression, but Brett must not doing very well at doing other people’s impression, however Eddy knows him so well, and they’ve probably watched and talked about these guys before that Eddy can pick out the Violinist from the visual cue very easily. It’s funny because to Eddy because he knows he’s got this huge advantage and Ray is just like “wtf is going on here?”
I watched this when i first found their channel not knowing any references and i rewatched it after i watched most of their videos and now i know so many more references omg like andre rieu (blue danube lol), sumina (and how they were laughing so much cuz ray dated sumina HAHA poor ray), vengerov's iconic ysaye 3, gittlis (lmao), david garett, janine being like 👁👁, nigel kennedy, kalvaklos playing (literally) 18 or 17 notes per second, heifez's high elbow, Menuhin (competition) etc
When I first discovered Twoset and watched this video, I found it funny and didn't know any violinists they mentioned here. Now I rewatch this video and find it funnier and know almost all the violinists in this video because I have learned so much about classical music because of Twoset. Thank you Twoset and Ray Chen for getting my foot in the door of classical music. Twoset truly makes classical music more relevant, at least for me.
Me too, and I used to play classical piano! I only knew Oistrakh, Anne-Sophie Mutter, and Sarah Chang, because I happened to like a piece and looked up recordings. Not even Heifetz lol.
It’s super interesting how Brett and Eddy were communicating through body language and certain physical ticks. Ray though seemed to be trying to figure it out and portray it through different artists’ musical interpretations for the most part

Tip of the hat to you for inspiring young generations to love and enjoy, the wonder and beauty of classical music. Keep on keeping!! You are inspiring.
@@jaydenhpiano5600 I can do that but I train periodically which is =/= from most average guys. They should manage around 10 if they are not very fat though.
@@None-zv2qk So if someone is like over 100 kg (really fat) like a lot of the people I know, they should still be able to do 30? Because they can't do even 10. And I mean actual push-ups, not half immitations.
They should have done Alma Deutscher (the girl who can compose a sonata from 4 notes), they would have just played B (flat), A, E flat, G and the other two would definitely have got it right instantly.
@@wakingtheworld If you're not much of a musician you definitely wouldn't be able to know, but some of them have well known favourites in repertoire or very specific interpretations.
I'm never a musician or even learn music (except in primary school lmao) but i can see the mannerism/body language, some are quite distinct, but another thing that would show who plays it, is the sounds(??), idk like the music gives off personality like some has a very aggressive sounds with interesting mannerism. Like eddy, his more like sweet? When he plays the aggressive part also he still have the distinct sound of sweet/soft like I've never seen him been able to play the real rough and aggressive style
I discovered that sometimes I can tell the difference between interpretations with just audio, without a video..like if I have a violin playlist going in the car but I’m not looking at the artist info😳 i don’t get it every time but I can definitely tell the difference between Hilary Hahn and Joshua Bell or Itzhak Perlman😆 the ones I listen to frequently
"I can't guess who it is because it is such a bad player that if I guessed I could offend someone" well... Poor Eddy ^^'' And Ray's scream afterwards is awesome xDDDD
Ray is like that gorgeous pretty friend in the group whose part of the gang but isn't there always really... but you still include her in the group of nerds coz she's chill.. these 3 are so cute together!!😉
I guess I should dislike it then. I haven't practised in 40 hours... wait that actually works as well. A like it is then. Wait I have practised.. never mind!
Omg, I remember going to one of Ray Chen's concerts. Yea, definitely one of the most impressive solo concerts I ever went to. Definitely one of the reasons I started taking violin more seriously.

To solve the problem of Eddy being too good at impersonating you should've given a point to the impersonator for every correct guess they received.

Sumina Studer Violinist
Sumina Studer !!!!
Sumina Studer Violinist ur so awesome! 😍
sehr witzig :-)
Hiii
Just imagining some bodybuilder cringing at those pushups the way that they do to violins played wrong
Am I the only one who shouted "USE 4TH FINGER VIBRATO" when Ray tried to imitate Hilary Hahn?
I did too lol
I shouted "Wrinkle your forehead!" but nooo...
I think he got her expression down very well though
Charlie Bamford huh?
Me too haha
I love how when they impersonate each other, they pick each other’s most terrible playing as the reference video like Ling Ling workout challenges 😂😂😂😂
I wouldve loved to see one of them impersonate Lindsey Sterling
And the ones who dance to the choreography while playing XDDD
They did! Search their Lindsey sterling on public video
She’s not a classical violinist
I absolutely love you guys!!!! I am 50 y/o, daughter of professional musicians: violinist and orchestra conductor father, bassoonist mother, and now, pianist son. I don’t “social-network’ much and hardly ever spend time here on RUclips, but you are truly fabulous. Tip of the hat to you for inspiring young generations to love and enjoy, the wonder and beauty of classical music. Keep on keeping!! You are inspiring.
When Ray had to impersonate Hilary Hahn, he should have done pinky vibrato. ‘It’s practical!’
IKR 😂😂
Cat Wang at least Twoset were right that "the 4th finger vibrato is hard"
@9:54 such a subtle flex to be able to call Hilary a colleague
13:44 pls don't mind me, i just want to repeat this
It's so cute LMAOO. It was like he turned into a toddler
I've repeated this like 5 times omg 😂
UwU my little Brettie babieee🥰🥰 Thanks for this🧡
omg coz same hshshsh
plus all the gifts of them😂
Them: light exercise
Also them: 20 push ups
Me: iNtErEStiNg
It is??
Most average guys should be able to do 30 or more in a row.
@@jaydenhpiano5600 I can do that but I train periodically which is =/= from most average guys. They should manage around 10 if they are not very fat though.
@@Leonhart_93 nah even if you don't really exercise you should be able to do at least around 30 (for someone over the age of like 18 at least)
@@None-zv2qk So if someone is like over 100 kg (really fat) like a lot of the people I know, they should still be able to do 30? Because they can't do even 10. And I mean actual push-ups, not half immitations.
Y’all should play the violin while drunk lmao that would be so fun
Love
Let’s get this to the top y’all
I think Nigel Kennedy has done that before. He used to bring his violin to the pub.
Omg yes please
Yeah but then you might drop your thousands-dollar violin
Jane Blaze I think they already were 😂
Ray's violin tone, even when he is fooling around impersonating other violinists, is extraordinarily beautiful.
Strad
@@nicolassantos3362 Widenhouse, actually. But I'm pretty sure Ray could make a cardboard box sound good. 😅
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia wow, didn't know that. Ahahaha yeaahh for sure, Ray is impressionnant
"I'm so outta shape..." *Proceeds to do 20 push-ups, only seemingly struggling after 16-17...*
If a young, slim man can't do 20 push-ups, then there's something very wrong. That's basic strength.
Choco The Banana Cat i think he meant more "i didn't exercise in sooooo long" than "i'm going to die because i can barely walk"
Well, then your elbows are not healthy even though the rest of your body might be. :p
@Paul Olsen lol all of these things cant be true
@Paul Olsen maybe you're fat
Ray actually did a really amazing job copying phrasing and performance techniques preferred by each violinist but Brett and Eddie didn't pick up :(
He’s literally just too good
Is it even possible to impersonate Ling Ling?
Yes , but not in *The Viola Side*
Muhammad Daniel da greatest violinist in da world
@@user-op8fg3ny3j he's a meme
@@user-op8fg3ny3j ling ling can practice 365 days in 1 week. That's just to show how good ling ling is
Muhammad Daniel Basically, he's an imaginary violinist who is a meme on this channel. It is said that he can basically do anything and everything.
I felt Ray's pain when he realised he'd called Eddy's playing in Brett's impersonation bad omg
They should have done Alma Deutscher (the girl who can compose a sonata from 4 notes), they would have just played B (flat), A, E flat, G and the other two would definitely have got it right instantly.
Interesting
But She’s Not A Violinist But A Pianist And This Was Only With Violinists. 🎻 🎹
Broken Genius she’s a violinist as well look it up.

Why is it that everyone that has ever played a string instrument owns a black turtleneck
LOL!
@@bobhabsolute4995 I never noticed that......
I can confirm that this is true
Antra Toporkova It’s not true anymore, but when I was young, it’s was certainly a stereotype conveyed by movies.
Damn
Not me, and I play three of them
Ray's face throughout this entire video is just O.O or o.O 😂 it's such a mooood, ahahaha
I love how every other person gets a very regular excerpt shown while Brett eddy and ray have their (arguably) most embarrassing moment shown
Ray seems very nice person. Good personality. Humble.
Omg this is such a perfectly nerdy channel! Everything i've ever dreamt of violinwise hahaha
This only proves that Eddy is better at impersonating people than the other two.
To a non-violinist, this looks impossible to me lol like HOW CAN THEY TELL 😂😂
Some of the posturing/mannerisms helped I guess but like me, how could they tell?
@@wakingtheworld If you're not much of a musician you definitely wouldn't be able to know, but some of them have well known favourites in repertoire or very specific interpretations.
Its from the signature like hilary Hahn most impresive performance is her bach in 1997 same goes to kavakos and more than half in there
I'm never a musician or even learn music (except in primary school lmao) but i can see the mannerism/body language, some are quite distinct, but another thing that would show who plays it, is the sounds(??), idk like the music gives off personality like some has a very aggressive sounds with interesting mannerism. Like eddy, his more like sweet? When he plays the aggressive part also he still have the distinct sound of sweet/soft like I've never seen him been able to play the real rough and aggressive style
I discovered that sometimes I can tell the difference between interpretations with just audio, without a video..like if I have a violin playlist going in the car but I’m not looking at the artist info😳 i don’t get it every time but I can definitely tell the difference between Hilary Hahn and Joshua Bell or Itzhak Perlman😆 the ones I listen to frequently
"I can't guess who it is because it is such a bad player that if I guessed I could offend someone" well... Poor Eddy ^^''
And Ray's scream afterwards is awesome xDDDD
When you realize that they’re using sheet music as the guessing paper
Things that as musicians we do, never waste paper in just sheet music
We musicians are very resourceful
Ray: *lays out a mat for Eddy to use*
Eddy: *uses the floor anyway*
Eddy who just did 20 push-ups: I’m so out of shape
Me who can’t even bend down without breaking my back: interesting
Who’s back here to rewatch it? 😂❤️
Well......1 year later...
yes
Definitely me
ngl I replayed the part with Ray roasting Brett's playing like 8 times now. That was a literal meme and a half LMAO

Thanks
Yes thank you!!!
Ray so determined not to offend anyone that he ignores Brett literally pointing at Eddy. 🤣
Ray is like that gorgeous pretty friend in the group whose part of the gang but isn't there always really... but you still include her in the group of nerds coz she's chill.. these 3 are so cute together!!😉
stern face "FINGER push-ups"
not even 5 seconds later...
"No NON NO wait WAIT!
let me roll the mat, normal push-ups
don't hurt yourself"
xD
The 6 dislikers didn’t practice 40 hours
I guess I should dislike it then. I haven't practised in 40 hours... wait that actually works as well. A like it is then. Wait I have practised.. never mind!
*123 people
No they were so tired from practicing for 40 hours that they didn’t click the right button
@@ferny198 *130 people
Ray has such older brother energy, and I'm here for it.
I just want to point out that it's amazing how they know the quirks and styles of all these violinists, that they can imitate them or guess them.
4:59 sealed Eddy's fate.
If Ray didn't do that, they would've all tied. I'm sorry Eddy.
Oh shit you're right!
noice, 😂
Oof lol
Oh shit, he knew!!

Sports cars be like at the highway
Underrated comment lmao
It do be like that
This has always been one of my very favorite twoset videos. I keep coming back to it even though I practically have the thing memorized at this point.
I love how Ray's accent changes when he's in America or Australia
Omg, I remember going to one of Ray Chen's concerts. Yea, definitely one of the most impressive solo concerts I ever went to. Definitely one of the reasons I started taking violin more seriously.
Imagine a new subscriber watching this and be like
"... who tf are those people?"
No. Really. Who?
Subribed since they have like 150k subs, I think 2017 and I still don't really know most of those violinists🤣🤣
Aa Türk
Ray: Playing charades with you guys is like playing against a couple, you know like who’s been married
Eddy: Yeah
I couldn’t agree more 🤣
