    50% of the video was eddy yelling “nAH” and about to start a full on argument about rhapsody in blue
    The other 50% was them shooting sacrilegious remarks and trying not to get cancelled by the classical music society.

    I feel like someone should say this just to clarify: Many of the pieces were rated quite low not because they are bad musically (many of them are very advanced musically, 'genius' even), but because they are overplayed/overused by mainstream culture and contribute to "classical music stereotypes." This includes (but isn't limited to) Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz, Mozart Symphony No. 40, the Flight of the Bumblebee, Handel's Messiah and the Four Seasons. I believe I can speak for TwoSet in saying that this tier list is more based off a piece's reputation and its representation in society than on its musicality. Besides, I can't bear the thought of people misunderstanding this and telling someone that "TwoSet thinks Mozart is bad" or something. That is definitely not what is happening here.

      I really agree with their view on Mendelssohn violin concerto. Some concertos manage to make me forget I'm listening to a concerto, they hit me deeper, more personally. I really like Mendelssohn violin concerto (and wouldn't put it below B by any mean) but it does feel just like a music piece, and not that much of a journey, it doesn't manage to transcend itself. Don't know if that makes any sense.

    • @maniamuse1319

      @@TheAskald There is a lot of music in the Mendelssohn violin concerto. Problem is it is usually the first 'proper' concerto that most violinists play as it isn't quite as hard or long as most of the other famous concertos. As a result every violinist knows it like the back of their hand and probably has some slightly tortured childhood memories associated with it. It has also been recorded an awful lot by every single famous violinist and the problem when something gets recorded a lot is that the performances all seem to gravitate to the same general end product and performances end up becoming less creative and individual. But if you really get into the score and decide what the music means to yourself as a violinist I think you can make it a very rewarding journey.
      Personally I would take it over the Tchaikovsky though which I find very tedious and shallow. Have played the orchestral violin/viola parts for the Tchaikovksy far more times than I care to remember and usually find myself just wishing for the end to come already half way through the slow movement.
      Dvorak cello concerto is dull as dishwater though. A is way too high imo.
      Mahler 5 is way too long and has plenty of sections which don't really add anything musically. The Adagietto is also way overplayed as an individual movement (which probably tells you that people don't necessarily want to listen to the whole symphony...)

      ​@@maniamuse1319 It's really interesting to see it analyzed from this perspective. That said I only discovered this era of music a few years ago and I was formulating an opinion (about the Mendelssohn vc) as a simple listener unaware of the usual context / relationship violinists generally have towards it, I just happen to have ended on the same conclusions. If I try to put it into words, to me this concerto is like listening to a story, it feels distant, it feels like an act, while for some of my favorite pieces, it feels closer to me, more personal, real, it resonates more with me.
      I understand how one can find the Tchai tedious and shallow, it's really the epitome of the saturated lyrical romantic piece, among the 15-ish violin concerto I'm familiar with. I get how it's not for everyone.

      @@maniamuse1319 if you find the Tchaikovsky repetitive, maybe try the Auer version? After all, great concertos can often be boring for the orchestra (yes, Chopin, I am looking at you). I find Tchaikovsky's violin concerto one of his more inspired works, works in that repetition do not make the music tedious and boring.

      @Peraou 4 года назад +1

      ​@@TheAskaldI mean I totally understand what you're saying so no worries! But that said I just couldn't disagree more, I think the music of the mendelssohn concerto is just the embodiment of passion, and a feverish excitement for life and whatever endeavours you're hoping to accomplish. It sometimes even helps me get out of a bad mood feeling down etc., or at least makes feeling malaise and depression more bearable. I even love the second movement which, honestly, is one of the only concerto second movements that I actually like, let alone don't sometimes feel like skipping. I think it's completely effusive, and imbued with emotion and power and I think it absolutely captures a certain range of feelings that no other (violin) concerto I have heard so far captures. Sibelius definitely captures a brilliant range of emotions, but I think that the ones in question with that concerto are just a completely different range. I also just really appreciate the musical intricacy of the first movement, and the way that the melody weaves between the soloist and the orchestra so seamlessly and harmoniously - in a way that's much less separated than others. Instead of being a standalone orchestra and a standalone soloist working together as a team of separate entities - the Mendelssohn concerto feels almost as if the orchestra is just the inevitable amplification of the inner feelings that the solo melody is hoping to convey. My favourite version is the Heifetz /Münch recording - I think it has the most laser-like focus and brings out every single note so that you can really appreciate the complexity of the harmonic layers which I think are incredibly beautiful, and that Heifetz's performance most embodies the 'molto appassionato' direction of the first movement throughout the entirety of the concerto. Perhaps violinists are overexposed to it, but as a pianist I honestly just love it.
