I think "The Scream" goes better with Brett's Lo-fi track.
Ha! Lol
i was about to say the sameeee
And yet they call it "classical music"
I just thought the same!!!!
Ikr! I was waiting for editor chan to make a reference lol
Non classical musicians: I like this song
Twoset: TRIGGERED!!!! It’s a piece not a song!
Twoset looking at a masterpiece painting: I like this picture.
this deserves way more likes
Oof
technically it is a picture of the painting soooooooo...

Twoset: What is something that’s just random and all over the place
Me: Bretts Lofi
So true though 😆
How about Brett's Popsong?
Flight of the Bumblebee!
I actually thought about Threnody For The Victims Of Hiroshima:
ruclips.net/video/Dp3BlFZWJNA/видео.html
(enjoy the horror, it surpasses Brett's LoFi)
I thought Mona Lisa is going to have Canon in D as a match because it was so overused
🔥🔥🔥 (insert airhorn)
Love it! Mona Lisa does not interest me very much.
Yeah, sounds like a good combination. However, Für Elise could also be a choice.
Mona Lisa is a hella lot better than pachelbels Canon lol but ya I see ur point
Ooooooo.....Rosdt
This is simultaeneously the most intellectual, the most innocent, the most nerdy, and the most heartwarming activity I've seen you guys do in a long time. There is a lot of pontification and obfuscation surrounding both "high art" and "classical music" and the creators behind these fields, but there is something far more sincere about this than any appreciative documentary I've ever seen for either and it's really charming. You're a pair of young men sitting down to match paintings and pieces of music, for no other purpose than fun, getting deeply involved and completely enjoying your game. You've got nothing to teach or to prove, you're just openly enjoying and studying art and sharing your enjoyment with us, which is a more honest and valuable payback to these artists than anything else I can think of. And the fact that you're a couple of young dudes in 2020 openly geeking out about old music and art and normalizing it so completely is priceless as well. Keep being yourselves!!
i would triple like this comment if i could
Me too!! Glad to know I have company
this basically sums up my thoughts! it's so oddly satisfying to see the art change with the different pieces... kinda hard to put into words.. but yeah :)
How I wish I could give more than one like. I wholeheartedly agree with all you've said. I definitely enjoyed this video.
This is very well put and summarizes their uniqueness!
Two set *only capable of measuring in strads* “bro that’s like 10 strads”
Well, I do mesure in books for everything in my life, so I guess to each one its own mesure system... XD
us Americans are put to shame
@@KiouSky this is so true. Like I measure something in colored pencil prices because i work with it a lot lmao
The real question is how many viola's to a strad.
@@lucas23453 Yeah, there should be a convertor app, so you know the equivalences.
Brett: what if the priceless Starry Night painting just...rips?
Me: *cringes in artist*
Me: furiously writing in art historian.
Same reaction just like all the ling ling wannabes when violin chan was abuse.
Me: *slowly cant decide between cringing or agreeing because I’m both artist and musician*
@@victoryvmangaisexisting7570 me too
Just a question....
Was Starry Night painted on a canvas or paper?
Starry night by Vincent Van Gogh
Me, an intellectual: Twinkle twinkle little star~
LOLLLL!!!!!

All good French have heard it once, however I do not know if it goes well on the board.
Too funny!
😂😂😂
When Eddy said that Van Gogh was French, I think a little piece of me died.
Same with Klimt being german
I think a whole cemetery popped up at that point...😬
Aurelia tbh Austrians and germans are pretty close in artistic streams...
me too
bro i was like 'finally dutch people will get noticed' and then he said french and like pain -.-
Imagine an exhibit where they play music that suits with the painting, like they let people borrow mp3 players and they just let people listen to the music while looking at the paintings. When the music changes they have to move to the next painting, or if they move to another painting they have to change the music just to appreciate the art better. i would go there.
Kylene Adorkable there’s definitely stuff like that. Search for installations. Usually these ones are itinerary too. Just be careful because some are just trying to reuse art and make quick money. But there are some interesting ones
There was a Van Gogh exhibit like that in Montreal! It was awesome!
Kylene Adorkable that would be awful ! if I was an artist I would hate having my painting "painted" over by music , like it's a well established fact that programme music is 2nd tier music as well ..
@@authenticbaguette6673 Your name suits you.
@@authenticbaguette6673 I wouldn't mind if I could participate in choosing the pieces for my artwork. It could really complement it or help others see the art the way I do.
boys got amazing senses combining 2 forms of art, but I think you still need some more knowledge in visual art studies.
1. Van Gogh was Dutch yes and he also lived, learned and got much inspired in France.
2. what you felt missing on Starry Night is sth on edge, because of Van Gogh's (rather unstable) mental status.
3. we have specific courses in museum studies called Risk Management, to protect the artworks. and you have no idea how detailed they are.
4. in Psycho the attacked woman was screaming, and the music mimicing the attack; in the Munch the subject was hearing the environment screaming around them.
5. the Dutch Mona Lisa, is also because the 2 paintings are similarly in small sizes. some works can be surprisingly large too. so that's why you should walk into museums and see them in real eyes.
6. synopsis, we call it iconography.
7. for the art of curating exhibitions, music is included, and not so rarely. many curators like to use multiple senses, visuals, sounds, smells, touches.
8. did your editors realize they picked mostly in categories of Renaissance and Contemporary? I believe you guys will have more fun with Neoclassicism or Baroque. Even for the contemporary/modern 20th century, you skipped the fun parts like Picasso and Martisse.
Intelligent and illuminating commentary. I think some-one like you was needed to help these guys out a bit.
@@blixten2928 thanks for the kind reply, but I don't think they would need help, I mean they're major in music, and they have a certain degree of sense and respect to visual arts so it's fine to just leave some room for entertainment. What I commented is arguments for a very small portion of viewers and more of some interesting extras for the most.
Wow no 4
This was very informative! I don't know much (if anything) about art, except that I love Monet's pieces and was kinda sad none were included! Hope they do another one of these with a broader range of art!
I looked at this thinking it was too much for me to read and then I read the whole thing.
Eddy trying to have a serious conversation
Brett: imagine her with a monobrow
Brett, actually being serious and trying to be considerate: "Ye- yeah, I guess that was the look back in the days."
Eddy: good try

I thought it was unibrow but whatever Australia

"And I'm the girl with the pearl earring."

Allow me to nerd out for a moment: Actually, many scientific studies have been done researching the impact music has on the buyer’s subconscious AND how music affects perception of food taste. For example...a wine shop played French music and noticed buyers were more likely to buy French wines, but when asked if the music affected their choices, they denied it. A famous wine tasting experience spent a lot of effort and money on interior decoration and music for each different room to make sure the surrounding visuals and audio matched the food being tasted in that room. At final auction, they made 2-3x more than their projected yield. British Airlines researched how to make their first class food experience better (bc your taste buds don’t work as well at high altitude) and served a multi course meal paired with specific music. And there was a separate study that found people in their study liked Taylor Swift (pop music) with Chinese food. A restaurant served a dish called “Sounds of the Sea” and gave customers a conch shell with an iPod and earbuds playing the sound of waves hitting the shore. Customers said it enhanced their perception of being at the beach. Obviously, each study was done with specific nationalities so I would expect if tests were duplicated results would be different but I digress... All this research bc well-to-do corporate and niche companies are interested in using sound to heighten the visual and eating experiences bc it yields more money. There’s so much we don’t understand about the power of sound and music in general bc there are so many factors-too many to test in order to see trends or satisfactory results. That’s why you don’t see much research related to other things...like pairing music with art. Not as much money to be made.
Also, I have seen some museums pair music with paintings but it’s more likely to happen in a modern art museum than older art genres. I enjoyed TwoSets version, although I do think based off my extra background knowledge of art history I would have made some different choices to also include the painter’s intentions.
I wish I could “love” your comment and not just “thumbs up” it. I agree with everything you said. However, I’d like to mention that some people do a better job of overriding subconscious influence than others so they don’t make purchases that they didn’t want initially.
P.S. I would have made different choices, too, like for Starry Night. Whenever I think of Van Gogh, I think of his mental status, so I truly would have made a difference choice.
my brain exploded reading that
Woah this is fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
Be a critic. Those studies might be bias, try searching it
pop music and chinese food just doesn't sit right with me
twoset violin really be out here making everyone's day better
i agree : ) love this video
as a student in an arts school where arts integration is being incorporated and influenced in almost every aspect of our studies, this was sooooo entertaining and legitimately very insightful and enjoyable to watch:) love from Singapore
Yo, what school? I'm from Singapore too!
Sg gang! Are you in sota btw?
Yes! If this kind of thing were mandatory for my art appreciation class it would be so fun!
I’m from sg too! Just a random student from a random school
When i had art history in college, we (the visual art students) had it with music students. It was super fun and interesting (I'm Argentinian)
Brett: "i want debussy"
Me: 😳😳😳😳
i’ve been looking for a comment about this
omgg im glad im not the only one who heard it or thought of it 😂😂😂
😁😁😁
Now: wet debussy 😳
@@odiethediminisher6330 why ? 😂😂😂😂
Fun fact:
Sadly, even though Van Goghs paintings add up to millions, he barely sold any paintings during his lifetime. He was depressed and people didn't like his work. He often just traded his paintings for some pencils or paint. It's really sad to know how much impact he had on the modern world of art, while not knowing it himself, thinking everyone disliked his work.
His only one was to repay his debt. Poor guy. Well that's life. He was living in wrong era.
I suddenly remember that episode in Doctor Who where they bring Van Gogh to a museum in the present day
And the way his painting changes when his mental state changes...
*fUn FaCt* (I'm sorry, but my heart is sooo bleeding for him)

Thank you

Lol:P
Fun fact: Girl with a Pearl Earring originally had a very dark green background that faded overtime so now it looks black :,)
Also, much like with classical music, artworks are called “pieces.” Never call an artist’s piece a drawing or risk incurring their wrath!
(I’m an art major I couldn’t help myself lol)
A piece made with a graphic tool on paper: a drawing. That's term I use, as well as all other artists I know.
@@sanniepstein4835 Fair enough :)
Actually now that I think of it I never call anything I make a piece. Only other people's. I call all my finished digital art (fully painted) "drawings". Same applies to traditional media. My oil paintings are just "paintings" or even "drawings". Charcoal/ink is definitely a drawing too. Piece sounds so formal, I just never think about using it for something I made. Feels like it's reserved for the pros.
@@SalamanderMagic Good point, I guess I've been taking too many art history classes haha
Normies: I like this drawing *pointing at a piece of art*
Art Majors, Illustrators, Animators, Artists: *say sike right now*
Want it? The magical tools that we use to create this *dRaWInG?!* to throw this at your uncultured swine ass?
Imagine if the pieces they suggested were actually played in the museums and galleries where these paintings are displayed.. I think the experience would be much more immersive and pleasant..
Nevermind, I just thought about all the voices of the other visitors over the music. That can't work
Oh my Gosh I had the exact same thought process, including the Nevermind part XDXD
Time to put my earphones to use
Ooooh how about this? So, in some museums, you can get a headset and the headsets provide translations to you when you enter in the piece number. What if you enter the piece number in, and instead of it translating it to you, it plays the music to you?
@@parismoon2130 that's what i was thinking about!
you all are so smart
twoset's indluence
Fun Fact: The person depicted in The Scream isn’t actually the one screaming. They’re depicting how they feel, as nature all around them is screaming either in their head or not. The painting was actually inspired by the real experiences of the artist, one of his quotes being, “Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature.”
As a member of the Visual Arts Gang, this video made me exceedingly happy. A couple of notes: 1) I'm not sure if Van Gogh's painting style had a name for the stroke technique he used, but Van Gogh had a heavy use of _impasto_ which means to lay paint on very thick (when you see one of his pieces in person, it takes on a whole other dimension) and he worked primarily _alla prima_ or wet-on-wet where you paint quickly and don't allow the layers to dry in between. 2) Museums have a _lot_ of insurance on their paintings and other measures to keep them safe. There are times when art is stolen and never recovered (check out Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft, it's fascinating) and there have been times when art was destroyed in a fire (such as an 18th century painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds when a fire broke out at the Huntington Museum in the 80's), but art conservation is an incredible thing, the lengths people will go to upkeep and fix old paintings, even ones that have holes punched in them or ripped to shreds (See Baumgartner Restoration here on RUclips).
Also, and this is just speculation on my part, but I would imagine that Hokusai's _The Great Wave_ was selected as the Cover Art for Debussy's _La Mer_ score, because in 19th Century Europe, since Japan had opened back up to the West, Japanese artifacts and woodblock prints were ALL the rage and influenced all sorts of artists, from Van Gogh to Cassatt and everybody in between (there's even an art term for this- _Japonisme_ )
Also, also, one of my favorite pieces of classical music is Mussorgsky's _Pictures at an Exhibition,_ which I think does an excellent job of invoking the feeling of walking around a gallery and taking in all the art. Really excellent.
Fascinating information! But I think you accidentally confused Kurosawa ( the filmaker) with Hokusai ( the painter). :-)
Is it weird that “Baba Yaga” ran through my head while looking at “Starry Night”. I obviously think it is more disturbing than tranquil.
@@dpainter1526 Oh, oof! You're right! I'd better change that! Don't know how I got those two mixed up...
@@jasminemalstrom You mean from Mussorgsky? Yeah, a bit intense! Though the painting is pretty stormy in a way...For me the first thought was the opening Respighi's Brazilian Impressions.
@@jaceyking5015 No worries-- it happens! Thanks for the video recommendations.

the piece that should have played over The Scream was Brett's lofi
So true
hahaha yesss
"I want Debussy!!"
- Brett Yang, 2020
When The Scream appeared what immediately played inside my head was Brett's lofi 😅
Underrated comment!
That's a lotta damage
Exactly!!!😂😂
Does anyone else feel that the Jackson Pollock painting would go well with Brett's low-fi 😂
yessssss!! :D
Or free jazz as others have mentioned.
It came to mind
Honestly, Brett’s lo-fi works on so many art pieces and on so many levels.
Honestly Edvard Munch's Scream comes to mind..... but yeah lol
'The Scream' painting suits Brett's lo-fi am I not right.
^upvote
you're vv right
exactly my first thought
I thought stravinsky's Rite of Spring
i think i laughed so loud at this comment that i nearly woke up my neighbours
"Starry Night" and "Claire de Lune" were meant for each other imo
What about Chopin's nocturnes?
@@SS-yc5km Yeah exactly
I honestly think the starry night should have a more chaotic piece because Van gough painted it when he was in the mental asylum.
@@lizzylange8935 Which piece do you suggest? I reckon a russian composer.
Also, people tend to associate gentler pieces with Starry night because to those unaware it appears more as a serene and calming landscape than the culmination of someone's inner conflicts.
@@lizzylange8935 Well Van Gogh was at his most productive while in that hospital because he was being treated and was actually doing better mentally. Something tranquil would suit that.
Here is an overview of the artworks and the matching pieces:
Da Vinci - Mona Lisa + Bach - Prelude in C Major
Van Gogh - Starry Night + Ravel - Gaspard de la nuit
Munch - The Scream + Herrmann - Theme from Psycho
Da Vinci - The Last Supper + Bach - Mass in B Minor
Vermeer - Girl with a pearl Earring + Debussy - Reverie
Rodin - The Thinker + Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
Pollock - No. 5 + Bartok - Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta
Botticelli - The Birth of Venus + Delibes - Flower Duet
Dali - The Persistance of Memory + Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time
Michelangelo - The Creation of Adam + Orff - Carmina Burana
Hokusai - The Great Wave off Kanagawa + Debussy - La Mer (1. movement, circa minute 4:30)
Klimt - The Kiss + Rachmaninoff - Vocalise
Enjoy the masterpieces!
You are a gem! Thank you!
Merci beaucoup!
the persistence of memory by salvador dali with quartet for the end of time is the most suitable one! literally!
Why I didn't saw this comment before?! I literally screenshot at every new peace! Thank you sooooo much.
Respighi literally put music to "The Birth of Venus" in the 3rd movement of his "Three Botticelli Pictures" (Trittico botticelliano). As to Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam", I would have to insist on the 1st movement of Bruckner's 9th Symphony as a better match. The whole movement speaks to the might and grandeur of God creating.
The world: the Mona Lisa is so beautiful
Brett: That’s creepy as f***
I would not trust someone who does not have eyebrows
Honestly same. She has no eyebrows!
Seen it and it didnt feel like her eyes were following me, and latest news on the matter seem to justify me: it's all been a myth...
i also find Mona Lisa creepy tho 😶
Mona Lisa = freeky
Let’s be real, "The Scream" should have been matched with Brett’s lofi beat
Anna I think he is thinking lost river
nah
6:56 "the music kinda pulls you in, just like she's pulling you in; do you wanna know who I am?" matching the two actually elevated both. it gave the music context while giving the painting depth. the mysterious nature of the sound mixed with the alluring nature of the artwork.
as a pianist who loves classical music, and a painter who adores renaissance work, I can't even express my love for this video😌music and fine arts come together so naturally, and each can take from the other. this concept of finding these "perfect" pairs is lovely

@@bluepencil1014 well every currency needs its cents..
Being a non-classical musician, I had first thought it was "Strat", as in Fender's 'Stratocaster' electric guitar! x-)) 10 of *those* would make these paintings dirt-cheap! :-))
Great comment
Personally I think Brett's lofi would fit quite well with "The Scream"
Also have an AmAzInG day, you beautiful human being! No, but seriously, I hope something special happens for you today, especially with everything that's going on in the world right now.
Schoenberg is a better fit, I think.
I was literally thinking that 😂
And mona lisa
Me too😂
Haha true. 😂
I wish they would do a sequel of this, it was so much fun to watch and very interesting
yessss!!
I had nothing better to do on a Sunday evening so I had a go at matching each artwork to a piece of music:
1. *Mona Lisa - Franz Schubert 'Grazer Fantasie'*
2. *Starry Night - Debussy 'Arabesque no. 1'*
3. *The Scream - Berlioz 'Symphony Fantastique, Dream of a Witches Sabbath'.* I mean, it's hard to top the Psycho soundtrack to fit with this one, that's what came to my mind first as well. But this is a close second.
4. *The Last Supper - Allegri 'Miserere mei, Deus'*
5. *Girl with Pearl Earring - Hildegard von Bingen 'Ave generosa'*
6. *The Thinker - Mahler 'Symphony 10'.* Bit of backstory, he died before he could finish this (the 9th symphony curse strikes again), so it's hard to know how different it would have sounded had he finished it himself. I also played this piece in my uni orchestra and I couldn't make sense of it at first. The violin part opens with this strange melody with unpredictable intervals. But the more we played it I felt like I started to tune into it more...or maybe it was because I was just playing it more in tune.
5. *No. 5 - Steve Reich 'Music for 18 musicians'*
6. *The Birth of Venus - Puccini 'O Mio Babbino Caro'*
7. *The Persistence of Memory - John Adams 'Phrygian Gates'.* I feel the sense of time melting away when I listen to this.
8. *The Creation of Adam - Handel’s Messiah 'Hallelujah Chorus'*
9. *The Great Wave of Kanagawa - Mendelssohn's Overture 'The Hebrides'.* It gets more dramatic around 6 minutes in.
10. *The Kiss - Mascagni 'Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana'*
Wow!!! Incredible!
Could you make a spotify list of these pieces? Would like to view these artworks with the music you suggested :)
I think Mahler 10 is a little bit too emotional for the Thinker (idk I associate the sculpture with something rational)...maybe Schumann’s _Songs of Dawn_ (Check the background story) despite this the list is amazing :)
I love this for the Pollock!
When I was looking at No. 5 I was picturing jazz songs rather than classical. I would think they could capture the chaotic theme of the painting better
"Why is this girl so complicated"
That's a mood

Yeah but Chopin’s nocturnes are much more soft & serene comparing to the starry night which has a flamboyant/high-contrast feel...also Van Gogh was impressionist so (but I play the piano so I get what ur saying:)
I get your point, but this particualr painting suits a more impressionistic piece by Debuusy or Ravel rather than the romanitc noctunres by chopin.
i thought of debussy clair de lune...

Sure that is the name? i couldn't find it
I didn’t know that , thanks for educating me
Pleeease guys can we do one with literature and music
Oooh, excellent idea!
Superbbbbb!
Wow good idea
Oooohhh that would be a good idea

This may just be me, but I grew up watching Little Einstein's which most likely makes me one of Twoset's younger viewers HAHA BUT I grew up pairing classical pieces of art with classical pieces of music and watching this video (now as an art major) makes me extremely happy to see the two of them still being paired to this day. Seeing Twoset's opinions on how the art pieces makes them feel is so wonderful, I'm 100% geeking out right now.
Same here I loved that cartoon and when I was a kid into classical music thenks to the series I got it
Brett: singing the mountain king
Eddy: bruh is that what thinking sounds like to you???
"impressionism is not so surreal"
me, a person who studies art theory: they're actually two different art movements-
Y'all so cool. I legitimately find people who study art so fricking cool.
@@notafailure2138 thank you
My exact thought lol
I was like - it's post-impressionism
I was like- of course it's not surreal, it's another movement???? Glad I was not the only one
You should do another Violin Charades- Famous Artistic Masterpieces Edition
This needs more likes!
AGREEd!
Actually I thought this video was a charade when I saw the title lol
OOOOOOH THAT'D BE GOOOOOOD. I'm looking forward to it :D
I can’t with Brett being shocked by 500 year old painting. Would love to see his reaction to ancient Egyptian art 😂
10:39
TwoSet: Let's censor out the woman in the middle
Woman on the left: Am I a joke to you?
Same 😂 I thought of that too like is that one okay or what lol
7:50 “Is that what thinking is like for you??”
Me: flashbacks to when they took a music theory exam and Brett was freaking out while Eddy calmly answered all the questions
Me: Flashbacks to when Brett made his lo-fi. 😂
twoset: the background is black
me who draws: the background is actually blue
twoset: “a FUGUÉ!” Video: *plays the toccata part of the toccata&fugue
I thought I was the only one who noticed
Finally the comment I was looking for
Eddy: "Vincent van Gogh is french"
My art history lover ass: **crying in the corner of my room**
I mean, he did live in France for a big part of his life and he made most of his famous paintings in France too, so it's not thát weird to say... but still xD
😂😂😂😂
Vincent van gogh:*cries in normandy*
Who else thought "Nocturne chopin op 9 no 2" for "Starry, Starry Night" right away :3 Btw you guys should do a series for this type of video, adding music to artworks
I think, every calm music would fit on it.
me, because the most heard recording of that piece has that thumbnail.
Or Debussy´s Clair de Lune (and Debussy was alive when this paint was made)
Yeees
Oh duh! *Now* I'm finally making the connection between this painting and Don McLean's song 'Vincent', which starts with the words "Starry starry night..."! x-)) ruclips.net/video/oxHnRfhDmrk/видео.html
This is such a great and original idea, props to twoset
Ever heard of Little Einsteins?
Petition for 2set to make an entire series of this, I enjoyed it so fking much.
The fact they didn’t use any of Chopin’s nocturnes for the starry night is SACRILEGIOUS
Hellaaaa, the starry night straight up depicts all of Chopin's nocturnes
His preludes too haha
Twoset: "is there any music where just random stuff starts playing?"
Free Jazz musicians: "Now is my time to shine!"
that's what I was thinking too 😂
*jazz players rubbing their hands together maniacally*
I actually like jazz music
I actually like jazz music though
Brett is now that one kid in elementary school who flexes his triangle in front of his friends
JACKSON POLLUCK = STRAVINSKY. Especially Rite of Spring.
Not at all
Omg I thought that from the beginning! The painting gave me the feeling of everything coming in together, while they got more the feeling of the colour flowing away... It's iNtEreStiNg how art can give us totally different emotions...
Actually I was also thinking at Chopin's Nocturnes for Starry Night (and Van Gogh isn't an Impressionist 😅)
Dear Brett and Eddy (and TwoSet community),
My mom and I are currently quarantining together, which is not easy because we don't always get along very well, which is one of the reasons I left the family house 17 years ago (yes, I'm old 😄). Plus, we're both disabled, so you can imagine that our days aren't all full of sunshine...
For a year now, I've been trying to show her TwoSet videos. She used to be a classical singer, she is the one who gave me the love for classical music (I still have goosebumps when I listen to some operas she used to sing when she was pregnant with me...), so I thought that she would like the channel. Nope. It has always been a big flop.
Until two days ago. I told her that you asked your fans to compose pieces for you, and that it was awesome. One hour later, she came to my room and I asked her if she wanted to watch the video. She surprisingly said yes ! We then spent ten minutes talking about how talented the composers were and how well you played. She also explained to me her vision of music and how she liked experimenting with her voice, which she had never told me before.
This morning, I was listening to your "Xue Hua Piao Piao" cover, and I heard her say "Hey, that's beautiful, I love it !" So I played it again for her, as well as another short skit, and she was delighted.
My mom and I have very different tastes, and usually don't like the same things. So, whenever I found something that we both enjoy, I'm just over the moon.
So, THANKS, TwoSet (and TwoSetters), because thanks to these videos, I was able to spend quality time with my mom, talking about music. 🤗
Awwe, thanks for sharing this. 😊 Tell your mom that she's talented and adored for me. 😊
@@mynameisalexanderhamilton2862
Aww, that's so sweet, thanks !! 🤗💕
Thanks for ur sharing, and if u want to explore more about nice voice of xue hua piao piao, u can search the original song name: 一剪梅 . This is sung by a Taiwanese singer called Fei Yuqing. His voice is charming.
oh that is so sweet! mother and daughter can be the best allies but also the worst enemies. that can be a thunderous relationship... it took me raising a daughter for a decade (she has severe disability) to understand my mother; to understand that my mother was just a young woman trying her best, when she was raising me. sometimes what we thought as bad turns out to be good thing later on. i hope this quarantine time leave both of you memories filled with happiness.
Your story just made my day! Thank you...

Brett's Lofi matches with a lot of the paintings actually: The Scream, The Thinker, and No 5 Jackson Pollock.

Brett seems happier now. Idk. His deadpan face has now been replaced smiley faces. So cute!
I'm glad both him and Eddy seem more lively now. 😊🌼
Maybe it's because today they get to listen to music and enjoy some artwork instead of playing music haha
It's the triangle and recorder lmao
Nah guys it's just ling ling
Prodigies: Can play amazing stuff and don’t need to practice
Studious people: Practice hard to try to become like lingling

Aren't we all?
Prodigies need to practice as well. Their advantage is in their potential, but it can still be squandered if they don't nurture it from an early age.

Phillip Glass is perfect for Pollock. His music is so abstract, even he doesn't know what he is playing.
Random dude : This painting's worth 100M dollars.

@@brie1512 whether 250,000 is expensive or cheap is the question. If you're in LA, the average good cost is around 400,000 and in Denver, probably around 200,000

12:29 The Kiss (1907-8) Gustav Klimt - Vienna Secession (Art Nouveau)
Personally, I think the matching between the Starry Night and Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit (meaning "treasure of the night") was ingenious. Being trained in France for quite some time, Van Gogh's style is derived from the influence of Impressionism; Ravel's "French-ness" is perfectly fitting to that.
The Dalí and The Last Supper was very well done too.
For the Kiss by Gustav Klimt, I think Wagner's Tristan und Isolde would work. Both Prelude and Liebestod of the opera encompasses the romantic intimacy and the dissonance that is represented in the painting. Personally, I reckon the Liebestod is more fitting due to its fiery nature and the tragic ending.
As a noob to both art and classical music I enjoy this video, hope you can make more content like this.
Jokes aside this is Honestly one of Twoset’s most interesting videos, maybe cause I’m an art geek? Idk.
100% agreed
agree! im not an art geek but i really love paintings! 😍
Same. It's like "finally, a Twoset video I can understand!" lmao.
@@cheesecakelasagna hahaha can relate, i understand absolutely nothing about string instruments lol
as an art student, I was really felt like you nailed a lot of these (esp last supper omg) and i feel like all your musical recommendations added meaning to the art such that I felt like i could appreciate many of these artworks (all that I've seen before, many that i've studied intensely before) in a different light
this comment is extra as hell and i don't mean to sound ridiculous but thankyou for allowing me a new and different experience while viewing these masterpieces
My mom does watercolors so whenever we traveled anywhere, a trip to the art museum was almost always on the agenda. Whenever we saw an exhibit we opted for an audio tour. I preferred the audio tours because I like hearing information about the works. I took a philosophy of beauty and art history classes in university so I'm with you. I love videos like these.
Mass in B minor is so amazing oh my
Do you know which song specifically is in the video?
*Discussing Klimt*
Eddy: "German..."
*Austrians triggered*
Indeed... and for me, an Austrian who is seeing this painting almost every day (because I work in the museum) it's especially triggering..
I feel the urge to say: "Dude, do some research. Particularly because its history is based in Vienna, the city of classical music." xD
@@johanna2871 I love "The Kiss" since high school. I heard the original artwork is 180 cm by 180 cm? Hope I will see it one day. And yes, a bit of research would be helpful.
@@mlwang I am living in Vienna and I intend to pay Klimt's Kiss in the Belvedere a visit, while I don't habe school. The last Time I saw it, I think it is rectangular,
Was anyone else screaming “Mahler” at the screen like I was when the kiss appeared
I love Klimt so much...hope to see the kiss one day

um actually, as a qUaLiFiEd aRt hIsToRiAn (I have two degrees in art history):
I like Twoset's choices, they pretty nicely capture the mood and atmosphere of the artworks, especially the Bach and Bernard Herrmann's Psycho. But here are some alternative suggestions:
- Leonardo's La Joconde (Mona Lisa): Vecy le may by Antoine de Fevin (c.1470-1511/12 - a composer working for Francis I, who kept the unfinished Mona Lisa when Leonardo died)
- Van Gogh's The Starry Night: Lent from Fantasie for Piano and Orchestra by Debussy
- Jackson Pollock's No. 5: Violin Concerto by Philip Glass (modern, expressive, minimalist)
- Botticelli's Birth of Venus: La Nascata di Venere by Respighi (a direct musical interpretation by Respighi of this exact artwork)
- Sistine Chapel ceiling incl. Creation of Adam by Michelangelo: Miserere by Allegri (it was the piece sung exclusively in the Sistine Chapel on Easter, what better fit)
- Klimt's The Kiss: Adagietto from Symphony No. 5 by Mahler (the artist and composer were contemporaries working in the same cultural scene in late 19th century Vienna)
Sorry I just had to get that out of my system!
Loved it 💗
Wow! I'm going to check out your suggestions. Thanks TwoSet friend!
I also thought of Phillip Glass for Pollock! They suit perfectly, I think. Though, Glass usually has not that much emotions, development, while Pollock is quite passionate
The true beauty of art (music, drama, paintings, etc) is not the technique or the knowledge, but the fact that one idea can have so many interpretations to it. The beauty of creativity.
@@mariamarin9865 You're welcome! Glad to share some knowledge where I can :)
Apparently Pollock created his art not with an image in mind, but just wanted to focus on the process - the end result was an afterthought. He created by dipping brushes in paint and splattering all over the canvas, just for the heck of it, for the feeling of movement and freedom he felt while he was splattering paint. So I say jazz fits his work. That or incomplete / discarded pieces by musicians, because I feel like the intention of Pollock's art is similar to the process of trying to create a musical piece, but I figure classical musicians would refine their complete compositions instead of leaving them to be all messy like Pollock's paintings.
When I read the title I immediately thought "Starry night should be paired with Chopin - nocturne op. 9 no. 2, has to be" but dreams don't always come true
Here u go. It already happened. Dreams to come true. ruclips.net/video/9E6b3swbnWg/видео.html
