For what it’s worth: Dear Brett and Eddy, There are a lot of musicians and comedians in the world, but as a pair the gift you brought us was the example of your friendship, your joy, and your personal and musical integrity. If you keep those elements in your lives and work, then you will never disappoint your true fans. Signed, Always a Proud Twosetter ps Thank you!
yeah because those who were disappointed at what they did in the past few weeks were not "true fans". Therefore they will not disappoint their true fans.
“We will live for art and for mankind let freedom, music, and truth intertwine. My dying breath, the comedy is done my music, my muse, my truth eternally beloved.” What a way to say goodbye! Thank you for the years of humor and for teaching us so much about music and what it means to be a musician. And thank you for the immense effort and love you have poured into these farewell videos. I’m excited to see the last ones, even though it will mean the end of an era.
Thank you Brett and Eddie for always being true to yourselves and your art. That is why you became so popular, at least for me. What we saw was who you are. Be true to your art and yourselves. I will miss the comedy and witnessing a great friendship. Thanks for opening up the true heart of classical music for all to see. ❤
Can we take a minute to appreciate the production of these MVs? Just seeing how many people are involved, how big the team is and how many places and countries they went to!
Made this 72 year old lady cry! Especially the part of handing over the keys. I will miss you guys like you can't believe. You're the reason I made the decision to take up the piano a couple years ago! My best wishes for success in whatever you try next.
I’m not lying when I say that I started crying watching this music video. This is genuinely the most moving one, and I can really feel Beethoven’s pain in Eddy’s voice. I love how much Brett and Eddy are honouring each composer with every music video; it’s really nice, and I feel like they managed to create such an accurate representation of each composer! ❤
Yes, I too was very moved by this video. It has a very powerful feel to it. I'm also delighted to see that TwoSet has returned and I hope they will continue to make more videos like this one from time to time.💗💗
“We will live for art and for mankind let freedom, music, and truth intertwine. My dying breath, the comedy is done my music, my muse, my truth eternally beloved.” I know this is meant to be "Beethoven," but I can't help feel this is TwoSet's farewell. If it is, it is the perfect sendoff. No matter what, music will unite all of us. TwoSet may be gone, but Ling Ling 40 Hours is forever.
I too have a feeling those are also theirs words. For me, the line 'the comedy is done' sounds like them saying ''That's it, guys. No more funny videos.' 😅 And the rest is like reminding about the meaning of music
ALL the Beethoven music references in this MV! (hope I caught it all, if not pls reply so I can edit it in) 0:03~0:09: 9th symphony 1st movement, bars 17~18 (including last note of 16 and first note of 19) 0:18~0:33: 9th symphony 2nd movement, bars 57~72 repeated twice as the background melody. Each repetition the last few bars are slightly altered from major to minor keys. 0:34~0:49: 9th symphony 2nd movement, roughly bars 26~40, repeated twice as the background melody. Each time the ending bars are modified, with inspiration from nearby parts, to loop and transition more smoothly. 0:50~0:56: 9th symphony 1st movement, bars 23~26 (including first note of 27), as the main melody. The octave and downwards scale are a minor third harmony below from the original. 0:58~1:05: 9th symphony 2nd movement bars 338~345 as the background melody. The second half is repeated three times. Here the first time you hear the melody, the exact beats are actually from the previous bars 330~337, but played in a minor scale. So you could also view this as 330~337 altered into minor keys and then 342~345 repeated twice. 1:05~1:21: piano sonata "pathetique" 2nd movement, bars 1~8, but transposed into D minor as the chorus main melody. The original music is in A flat major and is a slow relaxing tune, but here is it changed into a fast, dramatic, minor melody. Aside from the transposition, the melody is almost completely unchanged. 1:23~1:38: piano sonata "moonlight" 1st movement bars 5~8 repeated twice as the background melody. Once again it is transposed to fit the key of this piece and the transitions are modified. For the rest of the song, the chorus is repeated once, then 1:58~2:14 is a repetition of 0:18~0:33 but the background melody is brought into the foreground, and then the chorus is repeated twice. These original pieces from Beethoven are also some of my most favorites in the whole classical music world so it was such a pleasure to listen to such a high production song from TwoSet that featured all of these pieces. Thank you TwoSet! Wish you guys the best of luck for your future endeavors!
Seeing Beethoven play the piano in the dark with a thunder storm going on, lightning and everything, it really shows the pain and struggle he went through!
@NotBest713 they've actually sung in a few videos before (i think there was one singing in the professional vs amature series and one video where they were taught by singers (bret singing pop and eddy classical?) if I remember correctly😅). And while they definitely used a lot of autotune and the singing still sounds kind of forced/unrefined at times i feel like there's definitely still some technique in play!
It's very fitting that this is one of the most emotional performances from B2TSM, given that Beethoven pioneered the Romantic style, which is all about passion and emotion and expression
Eddy's vocal might not be the best but I can see he put so much effort in improving his singing skill. And the song is just SO DAMN GOOD OMG my mind was totally blown away. It would be so sad to bid farewell to you guys, but I'm still looking forward to the rest of Twoset Production! Love you, my musical geniuses!
This is my favourite MV so far. It was so beautifully shot and directed. And the lyric “Only art and science can rage men to the level of god” is so great
It’s beautiful to see these two young souls maturing and tackling deeper subjects. B&E didn’t have this level of emotional nuance when they started out, even though it was the lightness and humor that made them so popular. Kudos to the writers, and to TSV for perhaps bearing their souls by playing the roles of these composers: the comedy is done … my true eternally beloved
@@israellaiThe leap is probably(I think?) from 1st mvt. of the 9th Symphony (original passage climbs to a high B-flat before descending to a C# over a Neapolitan chord, similar to this one).
The great mathematician, Euler (everything is named after him because he discovered everything) went blind and then he was most productive. He said, "I have less distractions bruv"
Oh my, Eddie, this was wonderful! I think of all the ones I’ve seen this is by far my favourite. You sang that so well. The lyrics were beautiful & woven into the melody so well & eloquently. Fantastic work Eddie, Brett & all of the team who worked on these videos. I’ll miss TwoSet, but I wish you every success as you move onto this next stage in your musical journey.
This has such a ethereal feeling of hopeless loneliness, both the mv and the song itself but it still spreads the lesson of doing what you love no matter the set back Truly beautiful, can't wait for the next ones
It’s beautiful. The irony is when you posted it. Beeth Beethoven is deaf amd I deaf. And today was the day I got another cochlear implant so I can hear more. I don’t think I’ll forget this one.
This piece made me start to understand why Brett and Eddy decided to take down most of their past videos; the remaining, and of course, these last six farewell ones, are how they two want to be remembered. It’s their legacy, well-thought out legacy. They see themselves as artists, and want to leave the best for the history to remember. Thanks for all the happiness and inspiration you have brought us, Twoset. All the best for the next life chapter!
they want their legacy to be 6 rap songs? seriously? just forget about all the years of work they’ve done that inspired a great many to enjoy and appreciate classical music and this is what they want as their legacy. makes sense bro
@ well i used the word ‘parody’ is very loosely, but their are references to the composers’ work. ur right though they’re not parodies i’ll change that
This MV is so powerful, I can feel Beethoven's desperation and loneliness in Eddy's acting. He and Brett have developed into amazing performers and I'm glad they're sharing that part of themselves with us
I am speechless. His pain and love, so sharp, so touching. "They will cast me out if they find out that I`m out of hearing" -- how can you live when your life is music and your hearing is falling. And yet, he lives. He lives and makes his sonatas. "We will live for art and for mankind..." - I can`t, so much power in those words. I stood up, as if it is a hymn.
The part in the glass box reminded me of Eddie’s bout with health issues. When he couldn’t even walk because of all the stress and pressure. I felt like it really captured that sense of being trapped and immobilized when struggling with a chronic health condition. I am really happy you are choosing to end on this note. This is powerful stuff! ❤
I do appreciate the nice reference from Beethoven's famous letter to his brother (Heiligenstadt Testament) about his pain and suffering, and most importantly, how he found the meaning of life in arts and music. Beethoven's spirit is really one of the greatest in human history. Thanks for bringing me this touching piece, Twoset.
I won't stop giving thanks and praise until the very end! Brett and Eddy, you've done tremendous work for the wonderful art of classical music and this world wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you for everything you've done these past 11 years, for every skit you made us laugh with, every note you played on your violins (in and out of tune 😉), for every theory you nerded out about, every tiger mum insult, every piece of twoset apparel, for every GO PRACTICE and for simply sharing your passion with us! You deserve a good rest for sure and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys! We'll miss you dearly and now, there's really no excuse anymore to simply GO PRACTICE!
... and then they deleted it. Yeah "Thanks" 🙄All they did with that move is prove that the classical world is nothing but bitches and divas, and it's as inaccessible as it's always been. This isn't about the full right to end whenever they want. I don't think anyone argues that right. But deleting the content is a dick move, and what you'd expect from elitists who preach against popification of classical music, then market popification of classical music. But hey, buy the merch!
@@Apollostoweloh someone’s obsessed.. commenting on all the mvs, throwing accusations here and there, slandering whatever brett and eddy did like the most rightest person on earth, invalidating their feelings, acting entitled to b&e’s rights and property. but yea sure, keep going lol
For those who are complaining, you're the problem. This is a better goodbye than those cheesy "we're leaving RUclips videos". Thank you, Twoset, for all everything. I just wished I bought the practice jerseys.
I don't know all the complaints that have been happening, but I feel like the complaints against Brett and Eddie deleting most of their videos without explanation are valid, no? This send off of theirs is cool and all but like.... I really hope they explain why they deleted all of their videos.
@@chiveCakesi mean at the end of the day it's their work. it's not like we're entitled to even a minute of video, although it'd be nice considering the support of the fanbase throughout the years. either way, i respect it-i'm certain they've got their reasons (if it isn't a part of the lore like people've been saying to begin with). this is such a great sendoff that i can just about turn a blind eye to the rest.
Of the farewell videos they've released so far, this is my favourite. Love the musical references, the intensity, the depth, and of course, Eddy's singing!
Brett and Eddy, this will be buried down in the hundreds of comments, but genuinely, thank you for making content on violin and classical music for all these years. You have made me laugh and smile countless of times. Hope you two have a great life and future ahead❤

Lyrics The pain, the void, innermost suffering, innermost noise They called me calloused Called me unfeeling Can't let them know what I am concealing All of the despair The misery If I fall back Will you forgive me I'll be cast out For if they find out That I cannot shout That I'm out of hearing The happiest days of my life are deserted in darkness The weight of my chains I swallow my fate I suffer in silence All of the pain I feel revealed a comforting solace I cannot leave this world untill my mission's accomplished When my heart is burning Art shall me my guide For I will journey From hell to paradise I must live For art and for mankind May God give me the strength to conquer my design Play a wrong not a simple mistake Play without passion the man is deranged Music us wild And we are obliged to turn our attention sometimes to lower thing Liberation of the soul Is the one thing we can control Only art and science Can raise men to the level of gods I will live For art and for mankind An artist that is true And divine strips away his pride We will live For art and for mankind Let freedom music and truth interwine My dying breath the comedy is done My music, my muse my true eternally beloved
The passion, the anger, the loneliness, the hope...can be heard in every note. Autotune may help with pitch but it doesn't replace the emotion, and Eddy hit every single one. Thank you for your beautiful singing, it conveyed the emotions so perfectly! Hope no one at work notices my red eyes 🥹
eddy's vocals really are hauntingly lovely here.. the visuals are as striking as the lyrics they lend imagery to. i fear these videos are getting pumped out too fast for my liking, im still trying to process this. but thank you b&e and the tsv team once again for your efforts. as sad as i am to see my childhood go, i am so very grateful for the impact you have had on my life. i was intermediate at most when i started watching your vids, beginner dare i say since i watched eddy's tutorials. now im in my last year as concertmaster in a senior youth orchestra; how time flies. i am very glad that you decided to make a decision that will allow you to take care of yourselves properly. it cannot be more well deserved. ling ling wannabes, keep practicing! -just a long time fan
Dear Brett and Eddy, I loved watching your videos. My favorites were the ones with Hilary Hahn. I played the violin when I was in the fourth grade but gave it up. Your videos helped inspire me to buy a violin and to start to learn the instrument again as a 37 year old. I practice everyday and I love the process of learning this instrument. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and sharing your passion with us. You both have made my life immeasurably better. I wish you both the best as you go forward in life. Go find what makes you whole. I love you two. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some practice to do.
It’s beautiful and makes me cry. It reminds me of one scene of Twoset virtual tour. Beethoven Eddy said like he has a reason to live to share his passion for music. This is a beautiful gift for us. Thanks a lot.
Every single one of your B2TSM songs have been So Different and ALL SO GOOD!!!! I am amazed and impressed. You have worked so hard, you're so talented, and it shows here. Thanks for all you've done and I hope you are proud of what you've accomplished, because it's incredible
Goodbye Brett and Eddy 2013-2024 you two were legends, I will practice to carry your legacies. But Seriously, this is my favorite of the three songs so far, can't wait to see what song 4, 5, and especially 6 sound like
Gentlemen, I am by no means an instrumentalist of any sort, but I have enjoyed your work these past years. Bugger any negative feedback that may have come about. Do what you must to continue enjoying your lives and your craft. I am waiting for the release of all these final pieces so I can decide which hits me the hardest. I'll give that one a proper karaoke treatment so other true believers can echo your tales like the bards of old. Godspeed!
Honestly, watching you both roasting, making jokes, and even went and made ASMR videos of Asian moms and households were all so enjoyable! The years I watched you helped me get through graduate school as a music therapy major with concentration in the piano even when I didn't have the years of piano or musicianship experience my peers had(I only started playing around with the piano in High School, and had my first piano lessons trying to get into undergrad as a music major... what was I even thinking?!). Your passion for music really pulled me through knowing that practice, effort, and genuine love for music really goes a long way. Thank you so much and I cant wait to see the great things you'll do in the future after some much needed rest and refueling! Burnout is no joke(that was my grad thesis)
OMG, crying my eyes out at the music and Eddy's singing, and the angst I feel to my very core, feeling what Beethoven went through with his torment over going deaf. My favorite composer overcame his suffering , can we all learn a valuable life lesson from him? Brett and Eddy, you really are "pulling out all the stops", so to speak. We are forever grateful.
Super cool! Love how the lyrics makes you think about things from the perspective of the famous late composer Beethoven. Fantastic work! Hope both of you and your staff enjoy a very healthy & Happy Holiday season. Thank you, Brett & Eddy. Sending warm hugs filled with lots of love, peace, joy, laughter, and hope. 🫂💕💯🎄🎼🎵🎶🎹🥰🥰
I feel like this video revealed to me something about Beethoven I haven't thought about before. How his passion and feeling of mission guided his through struggle. Thank you very much, Brett and Eddy. All those years your work was not in vain, you will be remembered.
The lyrics are referencing to his Heiligenstadt Testament 😭 Thank u very much for this banger Twoset! You did great Eddy! ❤✨ I love Beethoven so I'll definitely put this on my playlist as well :')
So. Bach was the diss track, Mozart the banger, Beethoven the emo song, Tchaik will be the ballad and Shosty probs a death metal screamer. Cool. Very cool. And then track number six, which is likely either all of them together or a Paganini cameo. Perfect. I already preordered the album. TBH all of these are so great... Good job guys! I can barely wait to hear the rest. And for the lifestream.
The pencil. When Beethoven's hair was subjected to chemical analysis it was found to have high levels of lead. One possible source was considered to be the lead that was used in his pencils.

Eddy and Brett, THIS IS SO WELL DONE!! I absolutely love the melody, which one of the fans said uses a Beethoven chord progression. Well, it’s fabulous. Eddy, your singing is the best I’ve ever heard you sing! Well done!!! You reached notes I’ve never heard you reach! Thank you, dear young B and E for these videos. God bless you in your lives and new pursuits! From B in the USA
I'm gonna miss you guys so much. Don't stay away too long. Rest, recover and live of course. But the world needs you and what you have to offer. When you're ready, if you can, please think about a comeback. Until then, take good care and thanks for everything. With all my heart.
2:36 the comedy is done. TWOSETS comedy is done😭 twoset is my whole time on youtube. ther brilliant jokes, their music inspiration, and the love musicians feel when watching them. I am very sad that they are quitting because of pressure and hate from the comment section. I NEVER have hated or complained about their vids. and the reason they are quitting is because of other pepoles hate. why do you have to be so picky? respect their channell! farewell twoset. you will never be forgotten.
huge appreciation to these two souls who contributed so much, I’m very happy and proud of their bravery to do what’s necessary for their own wellbeing and happiness! I will always support you guys, you have supported me with all your stress, tears and effort to create content for us, and now its time for me to repay you guys with my full understanding and love for y’all in your future endeavours! Love you Brett and Eddy❤❤
Thank you for putting so much thought into this farewell letter and gift to your millions of fans. It’s epic and the production quality blew me away. Those lyrics, those vocals…. Holy moly. Thank you Brett and Eddy. You sparked a resurgence in appreciation of classical music and you’ll be greatly missed. There’s a void where your videos were. I’m thankful that we had you for the last couple of years. I hope that you will occasionally pop in to send us an interesting video or two to say hi or catch us up. Your legacy is possibly sparking an interest in music in a whole generation of musician newbies. All the best! May we see you both succeed beyond your wildest dreams but lead a happy and healthy life too.
Well, that actually was Beethoven’s last words. As he laid dying he turned to his friends and said “Plaudite amici, comedia est finita” (Applauad my friends, the comedy is over)
The harmonies at 1:06 are so beautiful! I love this song, it's so raw and shows you a side of Beethoven that is often forgotten. Thank you Brett and Eddy for this beautiful song❤️
This sent chills down my spine, I'm saddened that we are halfway until the end but glad that the farewell is absolutely epic. I'll never forget all the motivation Twoset has given me to practice over the years.
@@jaeyuns_moon "In an interview, Chen and Yang confirmed they were finished with TwoSet Violin, though they said they would likely continue to work together. They said they were increasingly worn out by the demands of creating more than 100 videos each year. And, with 4.3 million subscribers on RUclips, they said, they were growing tired of the scrutiny. “We’ve said all that we wanted to say,” Yang said. “It felt like I had 50-kilo weights on my shoulders for the last 11 years, just trying to please people and be the best that we can.” Chen and Yang, who have made a habit of reading comments on their work, said they felt like they were under a microscope. At times, they were stung by criticisms of their personalities, music and style." From the New York Times Article

Seeing Beethoven play the piano in the dark with a thunder storm going on, lightning and everything, it really shows the pain and struggle he went through!
Ok does anyone else think eddy’s vocals have improved a lot since they started? He’s clearly been taking classes of some sort
I’m impressed with what he’s done with his vocal skills in this one!
maybe I'm just stupid, but it sounds autotuned
@@NotBest713The use of autotune doesn't mean that he didn't take a few lessons.....
@waltzer8837 true, but I've never heard his singing voice before anyway
@NotBest713 they've actually sung in a few videos before (i think there was one singing in the professional vs amature series and one video where they were taught by singers (bret singing pop and eddy classical?) if I remember correctly😅). And while they definitely used a lot of autotune and the singing still sounds kind of forced/unrefined at times i feel like there's definitely still some technique in play!
Ahhh Beethoven is my favorite musician, and his story is really emotional and the video perfectly captures that
It's very fitting that this is one of the most emotional performances from B2TSM, given that Beethoven pioneered the Romantic style, which is all about passion and emotion and expression
I love how it went from Mozarts scores with nearly no annotation to Beethoven who’s scores always was covered in tears and scribbles.
I cant believe i will be going into 2025 without the iconic twoset violin, will miss u guys
I know people generally like tchaik's more BUT THIS IS THE BEST SO FAR IN MY OPINION IM NOT EVEN KIDDING
Eddy's vocal might not be the best but I can see he put so much effort in improving his singing skill. And the song is just SO DAMN GOOD OMG my mind was totally blown away. It would be so sad to bid farewell to you guys, but I'm still looking forward to the rest of Twoset Production! Love you, my musical geniuses!
This is my favourite MV so far. It was so beautifully shot and directed. And the lyric “Only art and science can rage men to the level of god” is so great
I like it too. I think he said “raise mankind” to the level of gods.
There are subtitles
It’s beautiful to see these two young souls maturing and tackling deeper subjects. B&E didn’t have this level of emotional nuance when they started out, even though it was the lightness and humor that made them so popular.
Kudos to the writers, and to TSV for perhaps bearing their souls by playing the roles of these composers: the comedy is done … my true eternally beloved
AHH OMG THE VOCALS?? THE CINEMATOGRAPHY?? ITS SO GOOD-
Best farewell.
RIGHTTT?? Deff my favourite so far!!
Cool, using the minor mode of the Pathetique Sonata Adagio Cantabile and also the Scherzo of the 9th symphony
Omg I didn't even realise it was the pathetique sonata. Now I can't unhear it!
@@CougheePls I didn't put a finger on it until the leap down (Bb to E)
Plus moonlight sonata for the rap.
I'm still trying to figure out what that leap to the high G was... It sounds SOOOO familiar but it's escaping me
I was tryna figure out how the melody relates to Beethoven, it was so familiar but different. Thx man
@@israellaiThe leap is probably(I think?) from 1st mvt. of the 9th Symphony (original passage climbs to a high B-flat before descending to a C# over a Neapolitan chord, similar to this one).
“DEAFNESS DOESN'T PREVENT COMPOSERS HEARING THE MUSIC. IT PREVENTS THEM HEARING THE DISTRACTIONS.”
― Terry Pratchett, Soul Music
The great mathematician, Euler (everything is named after him because he discovered everything) went blind and then he was most productive. He said, "I have less distractions bruv"
Oh my, Eddie, this was wonderful! I think of all the ones I’ve seen this is by far my favourite. You sang that so well. The lyrics were beautiful & woven into the melody so well & eloquently. Fantastic work Eddie, Brett & all of the team who worked on these videos. I’ll miss TwoSet, but I wish you every success as you move onto this next stage in your musical journey.
This has such a ethereal feeling of hopeless loneliness, both the mv and the song itself but it still spreads the lesson of doing what you love no matter the set back
Truly beautiful, can't wait for the next ones
It’s beautiful. The irony is when you posted it. Beeth Beethoven is deaf amd I deaf. And today was the day I got another cochlear implant so I can hear more.
I don’t think I’ll forget this one.
❤❤❤
Did the procedure go well?
I hope it went well for you
WOW I knew it will be great, but this is art. My favourite song of B2TSM
This piece made me start to understand why Brett and Eddy decided to take down most of their past videos; the remaining, and of course, these last six farewell ones, are how they two want to be remembered. It’s their legacy, well-thought out legacy. They see themselves as artists, and want to leave the best for the history to remember. Thanks for all the happiness and inspiration you have brought us, Twoset. All the best for the next life chapter!
they want their legacy to be 6 rap songs? seriously? just forget about all the years of work they’ve done that inspired a great many to enjoy and appreciate classical music and this is what they want as their legacy. makes sense bro
@Taffles-hh9cuthese songs aren’t parodies at all tho? They’re well thought originals
@ well i used the word ‘parody’ is very loosely, but their are references to the composers’ work. ur right though they’re not parodies i’ll change that
This perfectly captures my current state which is kinda isolating. Thanks for introducing me to the person of Beethoven
曲子和演唱都太好了，能感受到想衝破牢籠呼吸嶄新自由空氣的渴望。
謝謝Brett 和Eddy，無論將來您們做什麼樣的選擇，我都永遠支持，並獻上最誠摯的祝福。
This MV is so powerful, I can feel Beethoven's desperation and loneliness in Eddy's acting. He and Brett have developed into amazing performers and I'm glad they're sharing that part of themselves with us
I really like the idea of presenting the great composers in such a modern way
I like the detail of how the chord progressions are ones that beethoven frequently used, which gives it the beethoven feel.
TwoSet we will miss you
I like the way the Scherzo is drumming in the background while he's rapping
I mean, it’s sounds like Beethoven because his pieces are playing in the background.
THOSE VOCALS! Damn, Beethoven/E just let lose on the vocals! The range and the tone is absolute *chef's kiss! Incredible production!
I am speechless. His pain and love, so sharp, so touching. "They will cast me out if they find out that I`m out of hearing" -- how can you live when your life is music and your hearing is falling. And yet, he lives. He lives and makes his sonatas.
"We will live for art and for mankind..." - I can`t, so much power in those words. I stood up, as if it is a hymn.
The part in the glass box reminded me of Eddie’s bout with health issues. When he couldn’t even walk because of all the stress and pressure. I felt like it really captured that sense of being trapped and immobilized when struggling with a chronic health condition. I am really happy you are choosing to end on this note. This is powerful stuff! ❤
"Only art and science can raise men to the level of gods" 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
I do appreciate the nice reference from Beethoven's famous letter to his brother (Heiligenstadt Testament) about his pain and suffering, and most importantly, how he found the meaning of life in arts and music. Beethoven's spirit is really one of the greatest in human history. Thanks for bringing me this touching piece, Twoset.
I won't stop giving thanks and praise until the very end!
Brett and Eddy, you've done tremendous work for the wonderful art of classical music and this world wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you for everything you've done these past 11 years, for every skit you made us laugh with, every note you played on your violins (in and out of tune 😉), for every theory you nerded out about, every tiger mum insult, every piece of twoset apparel, for every GO PRACTICE and for simply sharing your passion with us! You deserve a good rest for sure and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys! We'll miss you dearly and now, there's really no excuse anymore to simply GO PRACTICE!
... and then they deleted it. Yeah "Thanks" 🙄All they did with that move is prove that the classical world is nothing but bitches and divas, and it's as inaccessible as it's always been. This isn't about the full right to end whenever they want. I don't think anyone argues that right. But deleting the content is a dick move, and what you'd expect from elitists who preach against popification of classical music, then market popification of classical music. But hey, buy the merch!
Yes.
@ they’re free to not hide behind a NYT paywall and actually tell the fans if it’s not the case. That approach alone smacks of elitism.
@@Apollostoweloh someone’s obsessed.. commenting on all the mvs, throwing accusations here and there, slandering whatever brett and eddy did like the most rightest person on earth, invalidating their feelings, acting entitled to b&e’s rights and property. but yea sure, keep going lol
For those who are complaining, you're the problem. This is a better goodbye than those cheesy "we're leaving RUclips videos". Thank you, Twoset, for all everything. I just wished I bought the practice jerseys.
I don't know all the complaints that have been happening, but I feel like the complaints against Brett and Eddie deleting most of their videos without explanation are valid, no? This send off of theirs is cool and all but like.... I really hope they explain why they deleted all of their videos.
Lol what a blind simp
Fans can have criticisms and their silence and deletion of their old vids are a dick move
I wouldn’t call the fans ‘the problem’, most are just confused about what’s happening, since not everyone knew about the NY times article
@@chiveCakesi mean at the end of the day it's their work. it's not like we're entitled to even a minute of video, although it'd be nice considering the support of the fanbase throughout the years.
either way, i respect it-i'm certain they've got their reasons (if it isn't a part of the lore like people've been saying to begin with). this is such a great sendoff that i can just about turn a blind eye to the rest.
not buying the twoset merch is
relable and LaMeNtAbLe 😢
Of the farewell videos they've released so far, this is my favourite. Love the musical references, the intensity, the depth, and of course, Eddy's singing!
This one is my favorite so far. So much passion! Perfect depiction of Beethoven.
Brett and Eddy, this will be buried down in the hundreds of comments, but genuinely, thank you for making content on violin and classical music for all these years. You have made me laugh and smile countless of times. Hope you two have a great life and future ahead❤
From tsv: We’ll be hosting a live stream hangout on RUclips on December 21st at 8 PM EST! Grab some bubble tea, and join us as we answer your questions and share some life updates. See you soon.
Lyrics
The pain, the void,
innermost suffering, innermost noise
They called me calloused
Called me unfeeling
Can't let them know what I am concealing
All of the despair
The misery
If I fall back
Will you forgive me
I'll be cast out
For if they find out
That I cannot shout
That I'm out of hearing
The happiest days of my life are deserted in darkness
The weight of my chains
I swallow my fate
I suffer in silence
All of the pain I feel revealed a comforting solace
I cannot leave this world
untill my mission's accomplished
When my heart is burning
Art shall me my guide
For I will journey
From hell to paradise
I must live
For art and for mankind
May God give me the strength
to conquer my design
Play a wrong not a simple mistake
Play without passion the man is deranged
Music us wild
And we are obliged
to turn our attention sometimes to lower thing
Liberation of the soul
Is the one thing we can control
Only art and science
Can raise men to the level of gods
I will live
For art and for mankind
An artist that is true
And divine strips away his pride
We will live
For art and for mankind
Let freedom music
and truth interwine
My dying breath
the comedy is done
My music, my muse
my true eternally beloved
Eddie is living his best classical idol life and im here for it
The passion, the anger, the loneliness, the hope...can be heard in every note. Autotune may help with pitch but it doesn't replace the emotion, and Eddy hit every single one. Thank you for your beautiful singing, it conveyed the emotions so perfectly! Hope no one at work notices my red eyes 🥹
eddy's vocals really are hauntingly lovely here.. the visuals are as striking as the lyrics they lend imagery to. i fear these videos are getting pumped out too fast for my liking, im still trying to process this. but thank you b&e and the tsv team once again for your efforts.
as sad as i am to see my childhood go, i am so very grateful for the impact you have had on my life. i was intermediate at most when i started watching your vids, beginner dare i say since i watched eddy's tutorials. now im in my last year as concertmaster in a senior youth orchestra; how time flies.
i am very glad that you decided to make a decision that will allow you to take care of yourselves properly. it cannot be more well deserved.
ling ling wannabes, keep practicing!
-just a long time fan
Dear Brett and Eddy,
I loved watching your videos. My favorites were the ones with Hilary Hahn. I played the violin when I was in the fourth grade but gave it up. Your videos helped inspire me to buy a violin and to start to learn the instrument again as a 37 year old. I practice everyday and I love the process of learning this instrument. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and sharing your passion with us. You both have made my life immeasurably better. I wish you both the best as you go forward in life. Go find what makes you whole. I love you two. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some practice to do.
DUDE, EDDY BE SERVING VOCALS!!!
It’s beautiful and makes me cry. It reminds me of one scene of Twoset virtual tour. Beethoven Eddy said like he has a reason to live to share his passion for music. This is a beautiful gift for us. Thanks a lot.
I know this is not new for Beethoven but this is a MASTERPIECE!!
I got actual goosebumps, I might have a bias in B²TSM ❤️
Every single one of your B2TSM songs have been So Different and ALL SO GOOD!!!! I am amazed and impressed. You have worked so hard, you're so talented, and it shows here. Thanks for all you've done and I hope you are proud of what you've accomplished, because it's incredible
Goodbye Brett and Eddy 2013-2024 you two were legends, I will practice to carry your legacies.
But Seriously, this is my favorite of the three songs so far, can't wait to see what song 4, 5, and especially 6 sound like
Wow hold it, they are not dead man!
@@maum2732 I know they aren't dead, they're just retiring
Gentlemen, I am by no means an instrumentalist of any sort, but I have enjoyed your work these past years. Bugger any negative feedback that may have come about. Do what you must to continue enjoying your lives and your craft. I am waiting for the release of all these final pieces so I can decide which hits me the hardest. I'll give that one a proper karaoke treatment so other true believers can echo your tales like the bards of old. Godspeed!
i love how every member gets to have their own solo songs💕
0:50 this part gives me chills
Honestly, watching you both roasting, making jokes, and even went and made ASMR videos of Asian moms and households were all so enjoyable! The years I watched you helped me get through graduate school as a music therapy major with concentration in the piano even when I didn't have the years of piano or musicianship experience my peers had(I only started playing around with the piano in High School, and had my first piano lessons trying to get into undergrad as a music major... what was I even thinking?!). Your passion for music really pulled me through knowing that practice, effort, and genuine love for music really goes a long way. Thank you so much and I cant wait to see the great things you'll do in the future after some much needed rest and refueling! Burnout is no joke(that was my grad thesis)
OMG, crying my eyes out at the music and Eddy's singing, and the angst I feel to my very core, feeling what Beethoven went through with his torment over going deaf. My favorite composer overcame his suffering , can we all learn a valuable life lesson from him? Brett and Eddy, you really are "pulling out all the stops", so to speak. We are forever grateful.
Super cool! Love how the lyrics makes you think about things from the perspective of the famous late composer Beethoven. Fantastic work! Hope both of you and your staff enjoy a very healthy & Happy Holiday season. Thank you, Brett & Eddy. Sending warm hugs filled with lots of love, peace, joy, laughter, and hope. 🫂💕💯🎄🎼🎵🎶🎹🥰🥰
I feel like this video revealed to me something about Beethoven I haven't thought about before. How his passion and feeling of mission guided his through struggle. Thank you very much, Brett and Eddy.
All those years your work was not in vain, you will be remembered.
Although it is not the day, but happy 254th birthday, Ludwig van Beethoven.
hit the hardest
The lyrics are referencing to his Heiligenstadt Testament 😭
Thank u very much for this banger Twoset! You did great Eddy! ❤✨
I love Beethoven so I'll definitely put this on my playlist as well :')
Thank you bringing up the Heiligenstadt Testament reference, reading it has given me new understanding of what Beethoven went through.
@@Highlander515glad to know that! His spirit, bravery and determination are unmatched!
Yesss!!! Excited for Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich (hopefully)
I would simply explode if there's ballet in Tchaikovsky
@violettbun Oh yeah me toooo
@@violettbunthey already said they filmed w/hong Kong ballet 😊
@@Imonlysleeping2may i know the source?
@ the New York Times interview
So. Bach was the diss track, Mozart the banger, Beethoven the emo song, Tchaik will be the ballad and Shosty probs a death metal screamer. Cool. Very cool. And then track number six, which is likely either all of them together or a Paganini cameo. Perfect. I already preordered the album. TBH all of these are so great... Good job guys! I can barely wait to hear the rest. And for the lifestream.
Now I wanna hear Brett sing a death metal song more than I did before lol
@@reverie-g4i xDDD Right?
Shosty was a political rap
These are lovely yet poignant goodbyes. Thank you for the ultimate musical journey. 💐 (quietly sent from the viola section)
LETSSS GOOO!!! GOTTA LOVE THE POWERFUL VOICE!! All the best! ✨😊
Lyrics hit hard. Better than most pop songs these days.
We need the lyrics😭
This song really is far too good
❤B2TSM ❤Beethoven
Thank you Twoset for everything❤
Comments weren’t lying about those vocals, Eddy killed it here omgg
'We will live for art and for mankind' Eddy/Beethoven
Don't start with this, I'm gonna start crying again
“Only art and science can raise men to the level of gods” HELLO THESE LYRICS GO SO HARD
The pencil. When Beethoven's hair was subjected to chemical analysis it was found to have high levels of lead. One possible source was considered to be the lead that was used in his pencils.
You absolutely destroyed with this one! Eddy singing and the harmonies...My, this was so good.
Twosets be releasing mv more often than my own kpop/jpop bias
Thank you for all the good times, TwoSetViolin. Wishing you two the best of luck with your future endeavors. We appreciate you!
From tsv: We’ll be hosting a live stream hangout on RUclips on December 21st at 8 PM EST! Grab some bubble tea, and join us as we answer your questions and share some life updates. See you soon.
Eddy and Brett, THIS IS SO WELL DONE!! I absolutely love the melody, which one of the fans said uses a Beethoven chord progression. Well, it’s fabulous.
Eddy, your singing is the best I’ve ever heard you sing! Well done!!! You reached notes I’ve never heard you reach!
Thank you, dear young B and E for these videos.
God bless you in your lives and new pursuits!
From B in the USA
no not just a chord progression its an actual melody from Beethoven turned into minor mode, from pathetique sonata, also using from the 9th symphony
@ thank you for the info! I’m going to check those out in closer detail.
I'm gonna miss you guys so much. Don't stay away too long. Rest, recover and live of course. But the world needs you and what you have to offer. When you're ready, if you can, please think about a comeback. Until then, take good care and thanks for everything. With all my heart.
2:36 the comedy is done. TWOSETS comedy is done😭
twoset is my whole time on youtube. ther brilliant jokes, their music inspiration, and the love musicians feel when watching them. I am very sad that they are quitting because of pressure and hate from the comment section. I NEVER have hated or complained about their vids. and the reason they are quitting is because of other pepoles hate. why do you have to be so picky? respect their channell! farewell twoset. you will never be forgotten.
Wonderful MV
huge appreciation to these two souls who contributed so much, I’m very happy and proud of their bravery to do what’s necessary for their own wellbeing and happiness! I will always support you guys, you have supported me with all your stress, tears and effort to create content for us, and now its time for me to repay you guys with my full understanding and love for y’all in your future endeavours! Love you Brett and Eddy❤❤
Thank you for putting so much thought into this farewell letter and gift to your millions of fans. It’s epic and the production quality blew me away. Those lyrics, those vocals…. Holy moly. Thank you Brett and Eddy. You sparked a resurgence in appreciation of classical music and you’ll be greatly missed. There’s a void where your videos were. I’m thankful that we had you for the last couple of years. I hope that you will occasionally pop in to send us an interesting video or two to say hi or catch us up. Your legacy is possibly sparking an interest in music in a whole generation of musician newbies. All the best! May we see you both succeed beyond your wildest dreams but lead a happy and healthy life too.
Everything in this song gives me chills it’s amazing
"The comedy is done" is such a good line
Well, that actually was Beethoven’s last words. As he laid dying he turned to his friends and said “Plaudite amici, comedia est finita” (Applauad my friends, the comedy is over)
The singing and acting actually went hard. While its hard to say goodbye i’m glad we get to see them for a couple last videos. 😢
The harmonies at 1:06 are so beautiful! I love this song, it's so raw and shows you a side of Beethoven that is often forgotten. Thank you Brett and Eddy for this beautiful song❤️
I cannot decide if this or Tchaikovsky one to be my favorite. Ive been humming this one the most, though.
this song brought me to heaven, thanks for the amazing song and production twoset (Eddy's vocals was insane)
I love and will miss you twoset
Every member of B2TSM is getting a solo debut
Lyrics are great, good job😱❤️
My man, this had no business going this hard.
This sent chills down my spine, I'm saddened that we are halfway until the end but glad that the farewell is absolutely epic. I'll never forget all the motivation Twoset has given me to practice over the years.
TWOSET WE LOVE YOU THANKS FOR THE FAREWELL
How do you know they won’t continue making videos after they release all songs?
@@raffilevy2029 The article they released in NY times says that this is their farewell, their final 6 videos

“We’ve said all that we wanted to say,” Yang said. “It felt like I had 50-kilo weights on my shoulders for the last 11 years, just trying to please people and be the best that we can.”
