Serious question: why the hell don't they just use a music notation that puts all the notes on separate lines/spaces instead of having key signatures? Wouldn't that be easier for everyone?
@@Xezlec Actually, no. While the current notation has its problems, it also has some nice properties. If you wrote out all 12 tones, the music would take double the space! Even worse, half of this space would be unused most of the time. A key with 6 sharps (e.g. G flat minor from the vid) can be read remembering simply that there's only one natural note B - so it's not really unusable.
I find 6 sharp easy. All you have to know is that the 7th note is natural. If you practice your scales you will know immediately which note is not sharp. Sure it's messy when they start putting natural which carry over lol. I find more difficult 2-4 sharps. Hard to remember, plus for sure you will start finding double sharps and tons of natural.
You forgot: "The trumpets are playing the quiet part really well!" "I love sitting behind the French horns!" "I love hearing that one kid play Megalovania over and over again!" "Yay, the composer is using me as a metronome again! I love playing 484490094859201957 straight measures of just eighth notes with no pitch changes at all!"
I play the bass and I had morning rehearsal. I walked past this choir kid and he said, “Whoa, look at that giant violin!” while pointing at my instrument.
...and a violin to a viola (I have to be very observant to tell the difference to be honest...Except when they are in the orchestra or me listen to them playing)
Sometimes true. I get so sick of practicing my private lesson music pieces, playing in the orchestra, for me, is lovely. Specially with beautiful pieces
@@BonnietheShibaInu not going to be a problem. It's bassoon quartet. I've got the run down to the bottom in the first phrase in my part. I think I've played it correctly once, and never at speed. I will committing all kinds of crimes against music throughout the whole piece. 😩
+Om Prakash S Normal person:Classical ''song'' Us:It's a piece. Pop ''pieces''.It's a song.Do you find pop music from before the 2000's more tolerable?
for guitarists: "oh yes, i always find my dropped pick" "i love tuning down to D standard" "i really like rhythm guitar" "OH YES STANDING NEXT TO THE DRUMMER IS THE BEST THING EVER" "i respect the bassist"
That last one, oof. Maybe it's different for me as a vocalist, but I think all guitarist roles are sexy, esp when they really dig the part they play. Some of my favorite tracks have really good bass lines. But it seems like Bass is a pretty rare breed cause I see bands recruiting for bass the most, lol.
Devin Sussex Graves the Voicesmith tbh if i could put my skill into a different instrument i would really want to go play bass. i like being a lead guitar but there’s just something about soloing with an actual groove much like joe dart’s breakdowns

This is like three jokes in one and it's brilliant. First it's a relatable "I do that" kind of "me", then that flips and it's a twist joke about "me" literally just meaning you were identifying yourself as the bass clarinet person in the first place, and then there's the "why not both" interpretation option for a joke about you doing the same thing even THOUGH you're also a bass clarinet player.
Brass section: "I never talk to my mates during a tacet."

56 is a multiple of 7 so it's the best way to write time that's a compound of 7, i.e. where a double-dotted note is the tactus. Except I can't imagine why anything that could be written in 56 wouldn't be better-written in 28...

Nice, our band had 4 bass clarinets. When the school came to record a video to show to the incoming students, she went around naming instruments. “We have well known instruments like flutes and clarinets, our brass section (cue our terrible French horns) and more unheard of instruments like bassoon, euphonium, oboe, and (looks around wildly for a few seconds) bass clarinets! And there are all the times she forgot us in tuning, homework, pieces, and testing. The most melody we’ve gotten was 4 measures. Our teacher has a case of tuba favoritism. Every year, we play a piece called “Hark the Herold Tubas Sing” because tubas “don’t get enough attention or melody” Our section came up with a new name “Bark the Bass Clarinets Cry” We could get away with a lot though. Half the section was always on their phone, and the other half was either eating or reading. I joined bass clarinet because I thought it was cool, but middle school band took the joy out of it. TL,DR: Being a bass clarinet sucks If you see this band teacher, please give bass clarinets more pieces with melody
"When my orchestra teacher starts talking about how some notes push the air apart and some pull the air together and how we have to accentuate the pulling notes, I definitely understand what he's talking about and take it into consideration for both this piece and my whole future career!"
Try used to have sectionals at 6am then class. One of my friends called me to wake me up. Then it was sectionals 6pm after Orchestra class/rehearsal at 9am my friends and I were so tired and busy we enjoyed class not so much the sectionals, I heard band people had sectionals at 4am-5am back at high school during school. Now it's like just class is rehearsal at 5pm.
I actually really enjoyed playing harmonic support as a second violinist, it was a ton of fun, less responsibilities and it’s actually really cool how it all fits together
I try to get two stands for myself because I tend to bring blank staff paper and compose when I'm not playing. One stand isn't enough because it's really inconvenient to have to switch between the pieces we're playing and the pieces I'm composing. With two stands I can keep both out.
i literally had to share a stand with 3 other flautists once bc I stupidly touched my stand somehow while playing and my music dropped and bc only god knows why the other 3 were sharing 1 stand, so... was not the best concert
@@sopralto9234 oh it's fine, just that in my language it isn't called double bass, yet still contains the word bass, so I might still had some of the mediocre puns because I didn't run into this name of it until I was twosetting. I must say I love your profile picture, awesome.
For amateur musicians: I love it when the conductor picks pieces that are clearly far above the level of this orchestra. We're going to practice 40 hours a day, despite the fact that we all have other full-time jobs and we will sound great!
The band version: 5: I love it when the flutes are the loudest and more off pitch instrument in the band and the director neglects to mention anything 4: It’s my favorite when the conductor wants us to balance our pitch on the last note and nobody can seem to listen to the tuba 3: I get ecstatic when none of the other people practice outside of band and have NO SHAME 2: I’m practically orgasming when I think about having to lug my instrument home 1: I’m definitely not dying inside when my conductor doesn’t believe in “slow sight reading” (or slow playing) even though I play French Horn and I really need to work on those octave jumps...
Oh wait was that sarcastic or the truthful? Cuz hearing them speak the way they do, my head automatically read the sentence like ohhhhhh fInAlLy a nEw vIdEo
Things Thought by Musicians: "Was that my entrance? I think it was... ***** that was my entrance" "Yayyyyy one note.... Yay... 😑" "The conductor left the stage... But where still playing... WHAT DO WE DO!?" "What's TwoSet doing?"
I had to laugh at this part of the vid. My friend played bass clarinet when were at Uni...because the conductor couldn't find anyone else who would play the instrument. He said he was okay with it.
I play bass clarinet too and this is so true. There are two of us where I play, and pretty much no one knows us. (Maybe because neither of us talk much, but that's besides the point lol)
i cackled at the "BOOM i found figure 17!" did you even rehearse if you and your deskie didn't frantically flip the pages until the conductor's downbeat to find the right spot??
“I memorized my part so I can keep my eyes on the conductor.” “I love it when my stand partner talks over the conductor.” “The conductor’s name-dropping again! I love that.” “Eddy & Brett are here! Yay!”
I was once a part of the orchestra/band for a musical, the first reahearsal were about 4 hours, 20 minuts of setting up instruments, 1,5 hours of vocalist mic check and lights, a 30 minute break for eating, the rest of the time were mostly just checking choreography and positions and then little bit of actually playing music which I came there for.
You forgot: I love it when the conductor slows down the tempo by 2x in the concert! That actually happened btw I’m in a Glasgow student orchestra called Glasgow Schools Symphony Ochestra, or GSSO for short, and our conductor slowed that thing down by 2 times because he thinks we can’t play. Amazing conductor. Believe that he was sacked after that concert.
i forgot why this guy is popular, stop commenting in masses with these unoriginal overused memes from reddit. i mean i guess these comments of yours could be cool at first until i noticed the only reason you get likes was because of supporters, not quality. i dont know what im doing wasting my time complaining about some fucktard so ok bye
Something that have never been said by clarinetists: Yes! The sight of someone touch the thin part of the reed is so satisfying! Don’t worry if you drop your clarinet! It’s easy to fix! Yay! Delay our practice by getting up to spit in the trash ever so often! Of course! Leave the clarinet on it’s bell! I love having to sit in front of the guy that blasts his instrument! P.S I might have to explain the third one, so here: in my clarinet class, I have this one kid that has a trash can right next to him so he can spit in it after he plays something. Okay right? Well, sometimes, we practice in our band hall. And the trash can is by the door. So this kid walks over to the trash can just to spit, and there goes a minute and a have of possible practice time. This happens repeatedly. My teacher has told this kid that there won’t be a trash can at the concert, and he’ll have to swallow it.
Cello player here: I love playing Prelude of Bach Suite I over and over again for annoying people who don’t seem to realize that there are other great pieces as well.
1:05 omg I relate to this so much... Last year my orchestra section leaders and concert master was always arguing over the bowings and it kept changing even up to the competition. The whole orchestra and I were so annoyed but we couldn't say anything...
*”I love when I drop my music during a concert and I’m sitting right next to the 2nd principle.”* This, my friend, has actually happened to me and it sUCKED
I once dropped all my music and then we had to share a music stand with 4 people playing the flute bc god knows why the other 3 flautist were sharing 1 stand!
THINGS NEVER SAID BY MY BAND DIRECTOR 1. Wow, the clarinets are in tune today! 2. Everybody brought their pencil today! 3. Today’s rehearsal went so well, and everyone was in balance. 4. We can always hear the clarinets. 5. The flutes don’t ever play play faster than the rest of us 6. The trombones and tubas don’t ever sight read their pieces. 7. The percussionists and saxs brought don’t ever forget their band binder. ps. i play the flute
"I love conductors that pay attention to detail" this sentence triggered me in a low-willpower moment of tiredness and now I'm signed up for the next round of auditions at the fancy professional chorus in town that I've been planning to go into eventually for a long time (grew up in the professional children's choir under the same conductor). GREAT NOW I'M GONNA HAVE ALL THE PARALLEL CHOIR PROBLEMS UGH WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL MAKE ME DO SO MUCH MUSIC STUFF
(Oboist) - just think of us, terrified, sitting with our little Korg tuners, desperately trying to keep that A created by a double reed (two home-made bits of soggy grass) stick between the in-tune lines godammit while everyone judges us.

I find more difficult 2-4 sharps. Hard to remember, plus for sure you will start finding double sharps and tons of natural.

I try to get two stands for myself because I tend to bring blank staff paper and compose when I'm not playing. One stand isn't enough because it's really inconvenient to have to switch between the pieces we're playing and the pieces I'm composing. With two stands I can keep both out.
i literally had to share a stand with 3 other flautists once bc I stupidly touched my stand somehow while playing and my music dropped and bc only god knows why the other 3 were sharing 1 stand, so... was not the best concert
Ling Ling never complains about other sections, he plays all of them at the same time and does it perfectly.
Even the viola section? 🙃
@@theresawood8378 Yes. He is the only person in the world who can play the viola acceptably.
😂 Ling Ling is more talented than I thought!
@@theresawood8378 Ling Ling isn't talented. He IS talent!
@@theresawood8378 Plot Twist: I'm Ling Ling xD
my friend once brought 8 pencils to rehearsal. this is what he said: “i have eight pencils, i’m an A student”
What a dick
@Elijah Park wat
Elijah Park well in this scenario it’s okay. The “A” isn’t being used as an article but as an adjective , describing what type of student he is.
@@aly2413 you mean it's not being used as an article but your overall point is correct
@Elijah Park hello, is this 911? yeah, it’s some random grammar nazi that i sure as hell didn’t call for.
Honestly, if the time sig was 45/16, I'd happily be tacet for 385 bars
Eddy: Playing the same two notes for a whole page is so fun!
Me, a double bassist:
You play one on each bass then?
@@dan-us6nk lol
@@sopralto9234 "lol"?
Man I am funny :(
Almost as funny as your nick
"Sopralto"
Double bass isn't soprano nor alto. Hehe
@@dan-us6nk I hope I didn't offend. Double bass is one instrument, it's just called "double" for some reason I'm not aware of.
@@sopralto9234 oh it's fine, just that in my language it isn't called double bass, yet still contains the word bass, so I might still had some of the mediocre puns because I didn't run into this name of it until I was twosetting. I must say I love your profile picture, awesome.
I think you missed one:
“Ling Ling missed a note”
This video made me realize...I don't know any of the names of the wind instrument players in my orchestra.
Same!
When the band director walks by you and you desperately try and think of something on topic to say
Your a commenter
When Justin Y. pops up in the comments and he always has something to say.
@fLaMiNg iGuAnA a man of culture, I see. That was the best tv show ever. I rose from the grave just to watch it
Bruh do you play an instro????
*If you say viola then you're dead to me*
For amateur musicians: I love it when the conductor picks pieces that are clearly far above the level of this orchestra. We're going to practice 40 hours a day, despite the fact that we all have other full-time jobs and we will sound great!
When he said "yes six sharps" we all felt it. Regardless of orchestral experience.
The band version:
5: I love it when the flutes are the loudest and more off pitch instrument in the band and the director neglects to mention anything
4: It’s my favorite when the conductor wants us to balance our pitch on the last note and nobody can seem to listen to the tuba
3: I get ecstatic when none of the other people practice outside of band and have NO SHAME
2: I’m practically orgasming when I think about having to lug my instrument home
1: I’m definitely not dying inside when my conductor doesn’t believe in “slow sight reading” (or slow playing) even though I play French Horn and I really need to work on those octave jumps...
wait what i play flute and we’re never the loudest 💀
6: wow the clarinets are so loud today.
flutes are NOT the loudest 💀 trumpets are the loud ones. to them, pianissimo & fortissimo are the same thing 😂
As a member of drumline. "We never rush."
Adriana Eason welllll you do only have two flutes..
A video! Finally! I started to worry Vov Dylan found them since he lives in Australia too 😅
Don't worry! He's got no time. He is praticing, because he wants to play John Cage's 4:33 in under one minute.
Cello Steve ohhhhhhhh f
we could have broken the world record!!!!!!!!
lol in under 1 millisecond
Ohhhhh new video~ finally~ I’m so happy
Oh wait was that sarcastic or the truthful? Cuz hearing them speak the way they do, my head automatically read the sentence like ohhhhhh fInAlLy a nEw vIdEo
Toni Lober I myself was telling the truth😃
may i ask what's ur pfp cause i see it around everywhere
altean u mean profile pic?
@@sunnancy1017 yh
0:48 I love sitting in front of percussion
I love sitting in front of trumpets!!!
As a pianist: Yes, I love sitting next to the violin section and I definitely feel like I'm not going deaf thanks to them.
Yes, I love being an accompanist!
Things Thought by Musicians:
"Was that my entrance? I think it was... ***** that was my entrance"
"Yayyyyy one note.... Yay... 😑"
"The conductor left the stage... But where still playing... WHAT DO WE DO!?"
"What's TwoSet doing?"
i have thought all of these things multiple times. I mean, no I have never missed an entrance what are you talking about *sweats profusely*
"Woah, The viola's really in tune today" I died of laughter xD
2:26 The fact that you know 1 someone plays bass clarinet and 2 their gender is a win in my book. (I’m a bass clarinetist)
I had to laugh at this part of the vid. My friend played bass clarinet when were at Uni...because the conductor couldn't find anyone else who would play the instrument. He said he was okay with it.
our bass clarinet player is really good everyone knows her
Lol nobody knows my gender but most know that I play the bass clarinet (and violin so people will mix it up)
you are now my best friend
i love paying bass clarinet- hope you do too!!😂😂😂
I play bass clarinet too and this is so true. There are two of us where I play, and pretty much no one knows us. (Maybe because neither of us talk much, but that's besides the point lol)
Brett: I love having so much space in the pit! I can move so much
*hits everyone with wiggling around*
pit musicians automatically come with a +2 being a hazard count. More pts awarded for how much your instrument has to move/be moved to play it.
best twoset video ever... I'd add "I just love when the choir is rehearsing with us, always so focused, discrete and quiet when they have tacet"
ling ling plays paganini during breaks because he doesn't have breaks
Haha. Good one.
@Michael Persico actually ling ling is a gender, too but "he" is like generalization
*The thing never said by violists:*
-I was perfect on the stage 👌🏻
more like orchestral musician
Violist can be perfect, just not consequential
I was in tune
Violinists never said that too xD
I love it when my endpin slides because nobody brought the box of endpin anchors.
Gotta love those cello problems
I love it when my cello slides cause I don't have a endpin anchor ;D
I'm totally okay and not screaming at myself mentally ;D
i cackled at the "BOOM i found figure 17!"
did you even rehearse if you and your deskie didn't frantically flip the pages until the conductor's downbeat to find the right spot??
0:50 as a trombonist I can confirm this is how the entire rest of band feels
watching this 10 min before orchestra begins lol
Saying "I'm better than Ling Ling" is never ever said, ever.
"Deep down I'm in a great pain and suffering"
Why are we still here?
Just to suffer-----
Things every musician has said in their life
my mother snuck up behind me while I was watching this.
she bought me bretts shirt and said "it fits my personality"
“I memorized my part so I can keep my eyes on the conductor.”
“I love it when my stand partner talks over the conductor.”
“The conductor’s name-dropping again! I love that.”
“Eddy & Brett are here! Yay!”
What about: “I played the piece at the concert just as perfectly as when I practiced it at home by myself.”
Another thing they never say
“Man, this orchestra needs to replace the violins with violas, it would improve the sound quality drastically”
“The guy who plays bass clarinet”
That’s meeeeeeee
I never have to sit in front of the trombones, as I am the one playing trombone #lifehacks
I was once a part of the orchestra/band for a musical, the first reahearsal were about 4 hours, 20 minuts of setting up instruments, 1,5 hours of vocalist mic check and lights, a 30 minute break for eating, the rest of the time were mostly just checking choreography and positions and then little bit of actually playing music which I came there for.
Another thing never said by orchestral musicians: "I love it when I forget my instrument at home! My conductor will surely forgive me!"
"I really like that guy who coughed 15 times per minute"
So once every four seconds lol.
This video is absolutely DRIPPING with sarcasm and I love it lol
You forgot:
I love it when the conductor slows down the tempo by 2x in the concert!
That actually happened btw
I’m in a Glasgow student orchestra called Glasgow Schools Symphony Ochestra, or GSSO for short, and our conductor slowed that thing down by 2 times because he thinks we can’t play. Amazing conductor. Believe that he was sacked after that concert.
This moment when you sight-read during rehearsal and the page is full of demisemihemidemisemiquavers.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not a single soul:
*"I always practice the entire music piece every day"*
Nobody
Justin Y: **leaves a cringy comment here**
Justin please put more thought and intellect into your comments. They have really begun decreasing in quality as of late.
@@jeansibelius5721 To be the top comment you just have to remember quantity over quality and make them unoriginal.
i forgot why this guy is popular, stop commenting in masses with these unoriginal overused memes from reddit. i mean i guess these comments of yours could be cool at first until i noticed the only reason you get likes was because of supporters, not quality. i dont know what im doing wasting my time complaining about some fucktard so ok bye
Damn so much hate
Don't know why I laughed so hard at *BOOM found it in one second* 🤣 4:05
I did too ^^
Something that have never been said by clarinetists:
Yes! The sight of someone touch the thin part of the reed is so satisfying!
Don’t worry if you drop your clarinet! It’s easy to fix!
Yay! Delay our practice by getting up to spit in the trash ever so often!
Of course! Leave the clarinet on it’s bell!
I love having to sit in front of the guy that blasts his instrument!
P.S
I might have to explain the third one, so here: in my clarinet class, I have this one kid that has a trash can right next to him so he can spit in it after he plays something. Okay right? Well, sometimes, we practice in our band hall. And the trash can is by the door. So this kid walks over to the trash can just to spit, and there goes a minute and a have of possible practice time. This happens repeatedly. My teacher has told this kid that there won’t be a trash can at the concert, and he’ll have to swallow it.
0:47
as a piccoloist
I LOVE seeing how second violinists react when they're sitting in front of me LOL
I never felt more attacked when our conductor/trainer sent this
Oh no that's horrible I'm sorry.
00:00 - 00:02 Eddy looks so tired. We need to protecc.
Twoset: *uploads new video*
Me: *stops practicing*
Mom: Twoset again??
A thing never said by orchestral musicians: "If you can play it slowly you can play it fast!"
“Let’s go from Figure 17.”
“Boom found it in one second.”
Wow that happens to me every single time! Same with every measure number as well!
Cello player here:
I love playing Prelude of Bach Suite I over and over again for annoying people who don’t seem to realize that there are other great pieces as well.
1:05 omg I relate to this so much... Last year my orchestra section leaders and concert master was always arguing over the bowings and it kept changing even up to the competition. The whole orchestra and I were so annoyed but we couldn't say anything...
Eddy: “I love playing the same two notes for a while page!”
Me: Welcome to being a baritone saxophonist
"I love that film music is making orchestral music accessible to everyone, and is totally not dumbing down classical music for generations to come"
the amount of sass and sarcasm in this video is fatal
*”I love when I drop my music during a concert and I’m sitting right next to the 2nd principle.”*
This, my friend, has actually happened to me and it sUCKED
I once dropped all my music and then we had to share a music stand with 4 people playing the flute bc god knows why the other 3 flautist were sharing 1 stand!
Emma B wHaT wHy
@@jayvshank i have no idea!
“I love playing second violin, I love being harmonic support” I’m playing the avengers and I get the same 2 notes for 40 measures, we love that
“I love it when the conductor has to work with the first violins for 20 minutes on a five measure section!”
THINGS NEVER SAID BY MY BAND DIRECTOR
1. Wow, the clarinets are in tune today!
2. Everybody brought their pencil today!
3. Today’s rehearsal went so well, and everyone was in balance.
4. We can always hear the clarinets.
5. The flutes don’t ever play play faster than the rest of us
6. The trombones and tubas don’t ever sight read their pieces.
7. The percussionists and saxs brought don’t ever forget their band binder.
ps. i play the flute
fellow flautist, its the other way around! everyone else just plays too slow😂
"I love conductors that pay attention to detail" this sentence triggered me in a low-willpower moment of tiredness and now I'm signed up for the next round of auditions at the fancy professional chorus in town that I've been planning to go into eventually for a long time (grew up in the professional children's choir under the same conductor). GREAT NOW I'M GONNA HAVE ALL THE PARALLEL CHOIR PROBLEMS UGH WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL MAKE ME DO SO MUCH MUSIC STUFF
(Oboist) - just think of us, terrified, sitting with our little Korg tuners, desperately trying to keep that A created by a double reed (two home-made bits of soggy grass) stick between the in-tune lines godammit while everyone judges us.
