Next challenge: sight reading original handwritten scores
*Beethoven ones* xD
thats actually a real good idea
Haha let's request this, sure
Beethoven pieces 😂😂😂
Pls
Yes! Yes! Please!
twoset: djfjk we have to read a different clef helpppp
pianists: noice
ikr
pianists: we hv to read two mwahaha beat that
@@nzxc448 reading two at the same time is extra fun when halfway in-between the clefs starts changing.
@@xeroze01 piano sight reading is so hard because you also have to look at your Fingers for big jumps ive played the piano for a decade now and i still cant really sight read anything xD
pianists: first time?
Piccolo pagalingling？more like piccolo paganani
Brett at 2:10: "I can't even sightread text."
Me: *that's just called reading, Brett.*
lol😂😂😂
You guys are brave for even trying
😂😂😂😂
TwoSet: "Cello gang, so much respect for your clef changes. And piano players"
"This one's for you guys, cello gang. And anyone with the bass clef and the tenor clef."
Also TwoSet: *neglects to acknowledge violas*
Me: I don't know what I expected
Tyler Moore I actually thought you were two set for 1 second lol
Didn't even mention, you know, BASSES.
Sight read some bass music
Proud to be a cello, our clefs actually make sense
That's just because violas play the alto clef....
As a cellist, I can't relate to their relief when seeing a treble clef.
True I am and will continue to be afraid of thumb positions. Tenor clef is honestly what I [prefer to] use when playing on A and upper D strings, and bass clef for anything lower.
@@phil_leoui I completely agree. I'm an intermediate cellist and I can read treble clef as I am a singer, but I guess the positions are just something to work on.
@@carolinekeen3370 very true. My fingers are not long enough which sometimes makes it difficult to even play in extended positions. Try 5th, 6th, and 7th positions. It’s painful 😂
@Philip Bui, RN Oof. I have very big hands, but my teacher doesn't let me use that to my advantage very often.
@@phil_leoui i get really annoyed when scores dont switch to tenor or treble after 3-4 ledger lines. Learning new clefs is way easier in the long run because ledger lines are just confusing to look at. (poor violins)
Twosetviolin: TENOR CLEF???
Cellists: First time, eh?
(Cellist) I think reading music in three clefs does wonders for our brain power. Imagine only playing an instrument in one clef :P
@@lizadamson6388 bassoons to though
@@zacharysmith923 yea but do they also read bass and treble?
@@hughmanviewingaccount1718 Trombones do
@@hughmanviewingaccount1718 Bass and tenor mostly but sometimes alto and treble
Alternate title: Twoset struggling to read in different clefs for 13 minutes
This comment isn't even funny. Why does it have so many likes
Bruh if you don’t think it’s funny, why bother replying?
Matylda Majkowska because the struggle is real
Me as a cellist:
Brain: treble clef
Eyes: bass clef
heart: tenor clef
Agreed
Justin Wang same my guy
Piano: both
As a cellist, These levels Are all wonky
yeah ngl its easier to sight read the shosty than that rach....but to play it *correctly* is a whole other story
I have a degree in cello performance. These levels are all wonky!
@@user-lh6yb3tq6t sameee
What do you mean? You didn’t learn the Shostakovich Concerto around the same time you learned a book 6 Suzuki piece?
@@jacksoncook6576 LMAO
as a cellist, I can confirm that the levels were very wrong
but they played my solo piece yayay
yea the levels were very off
Me too as a cellist
Which is your solo piece?
I'm not even a cellist, just used to go to my friends' cello recitals, and even I can tell those levels are all wrong 😂

lol same
Muahahahaha
True, the piece I'm playing right now has a clef change basically every line...
sunny wang I be playing in the soprano clef
Watching Twoset struggle to read bass clef, Pianist : Tsk, you mortals.
pianists: imagine how tired we are....
imagine how tired we are of it...
But Eddy plays the piano too, so I don't get why he's struggling so much
@@sapphireblue4031 Probably the fact that he's with a violin instead of a piano. Heavily practiced actions can become very context dependent. For almost 15 years his brain has been trained to see those notes a certain way while playing a violin.
haha literally my eyes are tired of that stupid gabcdef shit
Your music doesn't change clefs halfway through. I used to play piano and honestly it's harder to switch clefs than play both at the same time
Next challenge: Play a piano piece with Brett and Eddy each play one hand of the piece
Yesss
ah yes, that will be INTERESTING and AMAZING (if they pull it off)
The bass part is likely to have some hairy chords; bring it
Yassssss
Was actually gonna say, then checked to see who else had the idea!!!
"i can't even sightread text" what a great way to say "i'm illiterate"
Twoset: *Struggles to read bass clef*
My mom: *Plays the violin but taught herself to to learn the bass clef to help me play the cello when I was three*
Your Mom is amazing!
Fantastic!! :D
How small of a cello do you use at age 3? 1/8?
That's so cutee
@@TheSiddharthRay they use full size violins at that age
Me a bassoonist laughing at violinists because we have the same clefs as cellos
Tenor instrument gang! (Trombone)
Piano gang
@@nathanlee4637 we don't get to use tenor often, in fact I feel like we're more likely to see a c-clef. But really we mostly need treble and bass for piano, anything more is reaching for some new heights lol
Laughs in viola

Trombonists who read in bass, tenor, alto, and treble clef: “I’ve been training my whole life for this”
And then having to read them on alto trombone
And then Bb treble too

Euphonium too, not as much as you guys.
@@lethalweeaboo2239 eyyy played the euphonium too

how can you play a 200 bar rest? 😂
Come on, we both know that that would be a boring video
Petition for Brett and eddy to see this
That's what I was going to say xD
woo hoo its you again fellow stay
TwoSet: puts Squire tarantella at the same level as shosty concerto
Me: cries in years of cello playing
Ya I was going to say😅
Shosty
The way you called him Shosty cracked me 😂
Exactly ahah
Seriously
How come nobody mentions *organists* who casually read three staffs at a time?
As an organist, I use 5 organs at once. Pretty impressive right?
Brigitta Freya you’re so stupid. everyone knows you use the big toe to eat 😂😂😂
Ava Bruh you from mars? Use kidneys like a normal person, jeez.
@@sidthelazysloth You mean trade them for organs?
No they read only 2 clefs.
The corrections were just too accurate and on point..
Editor-san is a cellist, confirmed.
Editor-San already mentioned it in the "learning cello in one hour" video. But yes 😂
Editor san is a cellist... I think it got confirmed a while ago haha
Wow I didn’t know that. Thanks 😁
editor-san might also have perfect piTCH
nuu But some of them weren't cello-specific.

I tried playing along with them and they still sounded way better 😭
Violin is easier than cello.
@@Guilhermedetiuki thanks for the compliment
me as cellist: only twoset video ever that's boosted my confidence
Eddy: Oh Haydn Cello Concerto. Everyone knows that.
Me, a non musician: *nervously sweating* Is that right?
But the Bach Suite movement that Eddy got is just as prominent in the cello repertoire, yet he didn't know it...

I did. I learnt it in school at age 12, when we were introduced to all the different instruments.

If eddy was my teacher: “that’s waaay to many wrong notes” 😂
Legend says, you get max concentration when you get closer to your music sheet 😂
Eddy could have done better but his hair was covering his right eye which caused a 50% reduction is sight reading capabilities.
As someone born with sight in only one eye, but plays a few instruments...l will not take that excuse 😄❤️
Jokes aside, you're menthally limited to the right side of brain, when right eye is covered. And you're limited to left side of brain when left eye is covered
He's like a standing L Ryuzaki
Will tell Eddy this
Eddy when you have your hair in your eye it make your eye worse👁👀
@@Tirryna Lmao you need to give eddy a masterclass
Violinists: “I can’t play bass clef, this is too hard.”
Pianists: “you can only play treble clef? I can play both at the same time.”
Cellists: “amateurs”
Well, I would put pianists and cellists on the same podium because pianists play both keys at the same time, the keys also switch, and cellists play multiple keys, but not at the same time so I guess that's even :D
I meant clefs, sorry
*A M A T E U R S.*
@@Black..Rabbit I hate it when tenor clef comes in for my right hand and I just completely lose my rhythm
I play both violin and piano but playing together treble and bass clef on the piano is way easier than playing bass on violin.
Yall dk the struggles of Cellists when they see three clefs on a piece
Man, that's the equivalent for three staves on the piano
One time my orchestra played a piece where we (cellos) were doing these arpeggios and I'm not joking it was one measure of bass then tenor then treble then tenor then bass then tenor then treble etc. Only one measure of each. I have never seen such shenanigans in my entire life.
@@wyej cellist and pianist here, cellists encounter 3 clefs far earlier and much more commonly than pianists encounter 3 staves. It really messes with your head when it changes because you have to re-calibrate almost the same space in your brain vs when I play with 3 staves I am keeping track of the 3 separate staves as separate things if that makes sense.
Playing in three clefs for cellists is like living in three dimensions for the rest of the world!
@Cellopedia I didn't know you're a twosetter!!
@@Shrek-lx6jj sometimes ;)
@Cellopedia love ur vids they are so helpful
it's you!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!! WOOT! I've been learning the cello for five years now and I felt proud to know I knew every piece here and had played most of them. I am a serious adult learner who is beyond infatuated with the cello, it has literally become my life. If it weren't for COVID-19 I would have played the first movement of the Saint-Saens cello concerto #1 this weekend with my local orchestra. Twoset did a great job considering they do not have to switch between three clefs on a daily basis as I do, Piano gang I am sure feels me, having to read two lines and clefs at the same time let alone having it change as well! I'd like to see them do this again with the levels readjusted maybe XD
For anyone who loves the cello and just wants some awesome cello to listen to I have plenty of recommendations! Most of these can be found here on RUclips as well!
My top piece of all time- Dvorak Cello Concerto (46 minutes)-Lyrical, beautiful and a wondrous example of what the cello can really do. I recommend Jacqueline Du Pre for this one as the soloist
If you're more into Bach, everyone knows the Prelude to Bach suite 1 for cello, but my personal favorite of the suites is Suite 2, and I recommend you take a listen to the entire 6 suites if you have time Each suite is roughly 30 minutes. I recommend Ralph Kirschbaum for this endeavor.
The Beethoven Cello Sonatas (each sonata is around 20 minutes) are all fantastic. I would recommend starting with 3 and 4 and if you want you can listen to all 6. My personal favorite is Sonata 2. Yo-Yo Ma and Emmanuel Ax have a great set of recordings for all of these.
The Debussy Sonata (25-30 minutes) they played here is my absolute favorite sonata for cello, it is full of mystique and wonder. It is a fantastical piece in the literal sense of fantasy. Listen to Rostropovich for this one.
If you are looking for something more Romantic, Tchaikovsky wrote something called the Rococo Variations (15-23 minutes) for cello and it is the closest we have to a concerto from the great composer. Another Yo-Yo Ma if you wanna watch that one. The interesting thing about the Rococo Variations is they were edited by the dedicated cellist and Tchaikovsky just allowed it despite not liking it. You can hear Tchaikovsky's intended order if you listen to Julian Llyod Weber's composer rendition. If you want speed and technical precision Janos Starker plays the piece in just 16 minutes when it is usually 20-23 minutes long.
A quintessential for cello listeners is Jacqueline Du Pre's playing the Elgar Cello Concerto (22 minutes), a beautiful piece full of passion and emotion that so few have come even close to replicating in the way with Jacqueline has.
Finally if you want to here a powerful and definitely considered one of the most difficult sonatas for cello the Kodaly Sonata is there for you to listen to! I don't have any recording recommendations, listening to it while amazing also stresses me out XD
If you are looking for shorter pieces that are wonderful examples of cello
The Swan (Le Cygne) -Saint-Saens (Too many good recordings , Yo-Yo Ma, Jacqueline Du Pre, and many others. This one is one to explore and find your own favorites!)
Elegie -Faure (I would recommend Jacqueline Du Pre)
Oblivion arranged for Cello and Bandoneon- Piazolla (I would recommend the Ophelie Gaillard recording)
Ave Maria -Bach & Gounod (I would recommend the Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott recording from the album Songs from the Arc of Life)
Was it a Dream? Op 37. No. 4 -Sibelius (You can also find this piece on the same album as above)
Apres Un Reve -Faure (You can also find this piece on the same album as above)
Beau Soir -Debussy (You can also find this piece on the same album as above)
If you want to hear the Allegro Appasionato by Saint-Saens they sight read, it is a very nice piece. You can find a video here on RUclips of Jacqueline Du Pre playing it as a teenager and it is pretty sweet!
I'll also add Thais Meditation, it is a violin piece but imo it sounds way better on cello!
.
as a cellist, this made me feel an emotion that doesn't exist
good job tho
Yess 😆😆
Honestly, as a cellist, I respect their sight reading skills.
“Sometimes they do use treble clef, but on rare occasions” RARE OCCASIONS???? Sure. I’ll let you guys think that 🙃
RIGHT
Thank goodness someone gets it ...
lmao, fr.
You know you’ve been in quarantine too long when TwoSet runs out of violin pieces and has to start using cello music 😂
Welcome to our world ;-)
Having to read in three clefs, *which can change at any time* , is why cellists hug their instruments. Love is what gets us through...
And we never get the hug back though 😭 we’re the clingy ones 😂
And they have the audacity to change clefs like after 3 bars
You know you're not a good enough pianist when I violinist sightreads a bass clef better than you can. PIANO GANG
Piano gang, can confirm :( Eddy sightread a piece I've been slogging through and my self-esteem has never been the same

What true friendship looks like
Kei indeed
9:18 almost started laughing hysterically when I saw Debussy there, almost impossible even to experienced cellists.

Me, a pianist: Imagine reading both at the same time-
Edit: Ik they can play piano guys, but they obviously main the violin
Omg yes
can i said it louderrrrr
Piano gang!!! Ouh
F
YES! Piano gang, piano gang, piano gang, piano gang!!!!
Eddy sounded like he found a good old friend when he said "OH! Treble clef!" .. that excitement haha..
A beginner cellist: Hey can you help me read this? It looks like the clef that you read
Me, a violist: um sure let me see
Cellist: *Gives music*
Me: Oh um that’s Tenor clef, I don’t read that clef very much. All I can tell you is that the note in the middle of the clef is C
Cellist: aww
Me: O_O -_- O_O
best beginner tip for cellist reading tenor clef: play one string higher than the note would be in bass clef
Blueeagle YESSS THATS WHAT I DOOO
@@vollelektrolysierer5773 yeah, if you just see it as a pattern instead of a note it's much easier to read.
@@vollelektrolysierer5773 yes that saved my life when I realized it!!

They should do this for viola... or maybe not
They absolutely should! xD
they already did it i think
They'd have to deal with switches between alto and treble but that's not too hard.
Yeah switching between alto and treble isnt that hard... just jarring when u first do it
They probably already know how to read alto clef so it wouldn't be as fun

tenor is not very hard to understand, its just a 5th up which is a string higher on a cello. i have never seriously touched treble clef and i have been playing for almost 8 years now, i am too scared
@@emerald6597, you need to go somewhere up in the thumb positions to get any benefit from the treble clef. I haven't played music written in treble clef either, but when I get to several helplines in tenor clef intonation starts to get tricky.
@@TheGlassgubben Yeah it's only if you're spending a lot of time around the D5 range and higher that treble clef is useful. Too many ledger lines in tenor clef.
Soon you will graduate to tenor clef... soooon. Once you know how to learn an additional clef, treble will come easier.

CELLO GANG IM SO HAPPY TO SEE TWOSET PLAY CELLO MUSIC
Yes i am aware that I am a tad bit late to this lmao
As a member of the cello gang, I had a good giggle at this. Good attempt at tenor clef, it sounded much better than when I first encountered it XD
They should do a “Does my best friend really know me” and test each other’s knowledge of one another, to get to know them more
Ooh that would be cool
Waiting for someone to get them to sightread every other orchestral instrument on the violin
"guys, I can't... tenor"
yup, i don't know how to tenor either Eddy
imagine the recorder players who literally have to read EVERY SINGEL CLEF. God, i feel for them
Eddy: I can’t read tenor clef!!
All cellists: loser I can read ALL the clefs
but not at the same time like score player
yup...tho I wouldn't call that a loser (I perfectly know that this is a joke)
The "dude, I can't...tenor." has me rolling 🤣😂😂🤣😂
It’s funny that they posted this just now seeing as I was having a conversation with my friend about how playing cello has taught me all the clefs.
6:22 the joy in Eddy’s voice when he discovers its in treble clef is me whenever I see a dog.

**everything suddenly jumps two octaves**
They spend almost the entire clip hunched over, trying to get closer and closer to the score. Then at around 10:50, during the Debussy, Eddy just stands up in total frustration. A total wtf gesture. Cracked me up.
i’m playing the shostakovich cello concerto as a 14 year old, and you still sight read it better than me the first time.
twoset: *struggling to read different clefs*
pianists: HA amateurs
It's probably easier when you're just pressing on tiles
@Zglrd, how about you try to play with your feet and both hands at the same time, reading two clefs while doing so, and not pressing a wrong key. I would say piano playing is more than just pressing tiles. 🙄
I can play piano in both clefs but when the cello part uses any clef other than bass clef i just stare at it like an idiot
Isabel Heidelmann agreed wayyyy more. I play piano and you hav to think abt key signatures/phrasing/dynamics etc. not just pressing keys 👍
I play both piano and violin, so I can read both bass and treble clef just fine, but put a violin in my hand and tell me to play something in bass clef and I literally can't. It's not even because of the clef, I think it's because violinists only ever play in treble clef. So the second I lose concentration my brain just defaults to treble clef. It totally messes with your brain. 😂
