      Many people don't realise that Brett and Eddy's musician friends are all accomplished and successful in their field. Just because they enjoy fooling around on RUclips doesn't mean they're clowns. It just shows that most classical musicians aren't arrogant elitist pricks, they like to have fun like everyone else.
      (There definitely are elitist pricks in the classical world, like in every field, but it's not the majority. And Brett and Eddy wouldn't be friends with such people anyway.)
      Alex studied at the same music uni as TwoSet, him and Brett graduated the same year with honors. He's performed all over the world and has been the Artistic Director of a music festival for years.
      Same for Phoebe who has been the Principal Double Bass in several orchestras.
      Same for Hyung (their other cellist friend) who studied at Julliard and used to work with Brett in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
      Same for Georgii (one of their violinist friends) who won the Grumiaux Competition and is a contestant for the Queen Elisabeth Competition this year.

      Not really. Team Brett did have quite an advantage.

Team Eddy had one string player and two players who had absolutely no idea how to hold the instrument.

I’m not as familiar with the violin concerto movement as I am with the Liszt piece though, so I may be wrong here about how much is musically borrowed…

    Brett's team should've noted the quick glissando and the descending steps in La Campanella, but they'd taken the opposite from that! Eddy strategy at the end to recognise the first few notes could be good in simpler pieces, but for Scheherazade, it really comes down to noting the quickly descending and then ascending scale after the legato at the start. Also, the last note being the same as the first really gives a clue! This was so much fun!
