I love and hate the fact that the host was so slightly aggressive in tone when they get the answer wrong.
Maskey he used to be the toughest interviewer on TV before he got a bit too arrogant. Look up Paxman’s interview with Michael Howard in the early 90s.
And then to see him brought down a peg or two, watch him on Bake Off ;)
That's just Paxman, and it's doubtless the thing that got him this gig 25 years ago.
Here's a few of Paxman's classics ruclips.net/video/0_z3FUjCVVA/видео.html

That host is the Gordon Ramsey of classical music quizzes.
And then the fact that it's not even a quiz about classical music, it's literally about all different subjects: geology, music, art, literature, chemistry....etc.
Every soloist who is not an opera singer: "Oh opera, I'm out".
I know.. it's a totally different animal within the music world...!
And then there's me, who listens to opera just because.
And then there are learning conductors :)
Their loss.😝
Famous aria from Don Giovanni (Mozart). Come on people! The easiest question of the lot.
I'm the moron at 7:55! Still wake in cold sweats sometimes at the memory of that...
In the run-up to the show I tried to cram as much classical music into my head as I could, and as soon as the piece started playing I knew it was Beethoven. But once I buzzed, I realised I was supposed to name the symphony as well and couldn't remember for the life of me which one it was, and rather than say Beethoven and give the other team a clue (in case they hadn't figured out which composer it was), I thought it was better to stay quiet.
Surprised my team-mates didn't murder me after that.
Keep up the lovely content gents!
Cool! How did you do in that year's competition? I'm a long-term follower of University Challenge, and I actually remember some of your team's faces, if not the result :)
n o s o r r y
That's actually a really smart idea!
The problem with cramming means you can mix everything up. Understandable.
@charlie rowlands hey if thats you congratulations! I´ve watched a couple of episodes and it is INCREDIBLY hard the range of questions you guys get from all sorts of disciplines. PS I am a conductor and even I sometimes have something playing in my head and it takes me a couple of seconds to figure out what it is ;)
Fun fact- TwoSet Violin can also be called TwoSet Glasses

@@smh1851 so... a spider?

I like how the host roasts them for missing "one of the most famous pieces," for Beethoven's sixth. Average non-musician will feel smart if they can recognize Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata, and the fifth symphony. And even then, they won't recognize the B sections because they have literally never heard a Beethoven piece in full. Main point is I don't think the sixth is even close to that level of recognition.
Ha I am dying at this so true
yes
I mean the contestants are expecting a classical music round of questions, so they should be knowledgeable. But it was funny XD
L A M E N T A B L E
Ah no, with Paxman, unless you have undergrad level knowledge on every conceivable subject, then you are lamentable. Regardless of the real percentage of people who know that stuff
"Sounds European to me". I mean, he's not wrong but...

@@ElleSunminLee Yeah but world music after European sucks and music before European music is half forgotten by the people who made that music themselves.

Let's be honest.. We're all just Ling Ling wannabees😢
You can tell Clegg is probably a musician or something because of how he’s trying to recognize the music and how the entire team’s rooting for him to get it
Maybe he just loves classical music and everyone knows.
@@Romy--- no, he just really fucking loves delibes
It's a common University Challenge strategy to assign one team member to learn classical music.
The camera setup of TwoSet has gone to a new level: Nothing is in focus. Not even the gorgeous mic.
It's going through an existential crisis. Nothing's on focus because nothing matters
I think i'm gonna donate for them the Sony Camere which is pretty good at focus.
They have leveled up! It's harder to keep everything out of focus than keeping everything in focus. XD
their camera did not practice focus 40 hours a day
lamentable
This quiz is definitely hard. Couldn't even answer all those questions with years of TwoSet uni.
Joey B ah yes, my TwoSet uni degree is disappointed
Considering they get the cream of the crop from each university as representatives, yeah, University Challenge (the name of the show) wouldn't be an absolute breeze.
If it's any consolation, even Professor Chen and Professor Yang couldn't answer them all.
Yeah, University Challenge is notoriously hard - they get the best contestants from the best universities and they properly train beforehand.
Yoooo, lol
me: knows nothing about classicalha music
Two Set: OMG WHY WOULD THEY GUESS HAYDN LMAOOO
me: YEAH LMAO WHY WOULD THEY GUESS THAT, SO STUPID.....
Me too. I know music, but only just learning, and I laughed at them, when I didn't know any more than them.
It's kind of like if for modern music they showed them an original and a cover and they guessed that the Beatles covered a song by the Backstreet Boys or something. It doesn't make any sense in terms of timeline.
Me: How the heck can a professional RUclipsr film a video out of focus and still get a third of a million views?
Also Me: Watches the entire video.
The answer: Offenbach
The host of that show at some of the answers: Offendedbach
@Max Bruch yeah
Yeah, he's like that. If a team is taking too long to answer a question he'll tell them to hurry up xD

Someone commission Peter Schickele to reorchestrate Beethoven 7 with the string parts given to the brass and the brass parts given to strings.
I wonder if he'd be so condescending without the answer cards in front of him...
To be fair, Paxman was condescending on questions which you'd expect the average UC contestant to know e.g. Beethoven 6.
He's always like this, unfortunately
Come on... You'd expect the four quickest students of a university to at least recognize Beethoven's 6th. Such an easy question and both teams messed it up.
@@lavamatstudios Yeah if it was only on the most well known of the pieces they showed sure and I do understand that for the backgrounds the contestants are supposed to have it's a little pathetic that they're having trouble with the questions but I doubt he himself would actually be able to answer any of those questions without the answers in front of him, hence why I think him being condescending doesn't make sense.

"Why didn't Warwicker answer?"
There is a reason why only one person answers the bonus questions, and that's because although the teams debate the answer the captain is always the one to answer. If he or she isn't sure, the captain can 'nominate' another team member to answer.
For the starter question, anyone can buzz in with the answer. If they get it right the team wins 10 points. If they get it wrong they lose 5 points.
Universities hold internal competitions to pick the team members, and the whole thing is extremely competitive. Universities take University Challenge very seriously indeed.
If they buzz in early and are wrong they lose five points. If they wait till the question is finished they don't lose anything.
I can just imagine the neighbors thinking wtf kind of party are they having? Yelling out classical composers?... Kids these days.....

For those who aren't British, this is University Challenge: a seriously challenging quiz show between universities. Each university field a team of 4 (Oxford and Cambridge field one team of four per constituent college of which there are around 30 at both unis. People often complain this is really unfair because it gives the two unis many more shots at winning, but it also probably prevents them winning every year as it splits their brightest students up. An Oxbridge college still regularly wins despite this and so would likely be unbeatable if they could field a team of the four best from the whole uni.) The questions are exceedingly hard and the contestants are some of the brightest people at each university. Jeremy Paxman hosts and he was a UK journalist widely known as being very tough on the people he interviewed, particularly UK politicians. He now basically just hosts this. Hope this helps :)
Thanks for the context!!!!
Thx
Additional: all answers for the questions where the team can confer have to be delivered by the team captain (2nd from the right), which is why the man answered for the woman.
Yeah, it looks rough! So difficult!!
owhhh thank you!!

2set: gatta b quiet because we're tired& its late. Also 2 set: 7:49
I laughed so much at the "eine kleine". Im german and I didn't knew this is how people call it. Guess it makes sense though, Nachtmusik really is a difficult word.
Nooooo.
English-speakers often abbreviate the title.
Also, it's easy to say "Nacktmusik" instead, which would mean something slightly different.
It's just weird to hear that you choose "eine kleine" though, which means "a small ..." instead of the noun.
It could just as well be a nursery rhyme (counting rhyme) like
"Eine kleine Mickymaus
zog sich mal die Hosen aus.
zog sie wieder an
und du bist dran!"

I was so confused, because the presenter said bavarian born. In my mind, Offenbach is just French.
It's funny that TwoSet didn't have a clue about the easiest opera (or operetta) questions, like Don Giovanni or Offenbach's Orphée.

University Challenge is notoriously difficult, and Jeremy Paxman is just one of those Oxbridge people who know everything, so it’s not surprising to see him irritated :) As someone who’s a fan of the show, to me the clips that TwoSet has shown are actually easier than the average classical music question they ask.
Also, these are below average contestnats. Not to mention that many of the contestants perform just as well/better on equally obscure questions in every other subject >
Sometimes its a challenge to even understand the questions let alone the answers
@@grant4468 Wouldn't put it past them for that to be a question
No the reason he's irritated is, he's a dick.
Note: The guy answered instead of the woman who clearly knew because he was team captain - sometimes the captain nominates another member of their team to say the answer, but in this case I guess it wasn't necessary

@@lrm9298 They're not music schools so no. They offer music degrees that are academia-focused, but on average the contestants aren't music students.
Paxman is hilariously condescending when it comes to subjects he knows about e.g. classical music, literature, politics, history etc.. but he is amazed that anyone can answer the easiest of questions when it’s about science subjects or maths because he knows next nothing about these things himself.
based
also this is especially ludicrous considering most competitors are mid twenties at most, how many 22 year olds (unless it's literally their field of study) will even know all these composers let alone recognise them
as a physics-math student, that's what I was wondering about. like, how can you get so condescending about knowing subjects that are specifically relevant to YOU... and I actually love classical music, I just don't have the time nor the reason to differentiate between different composters and pieces. and I commend those who do, any bit of knowledge is beautiful. but its the same as if I started asking him random questions about electricity and wave model and got snarky cause he doesn't know subjects that matter to me as a tudent who learns these things daily.. all of these contestants are students who are knowledgable in their own fields. sounds impressive to me
@@noone-gf5op Im not exactly sure of the level of knowledge these students are expected of so i may be wrong here, however based off my own observations of their knowledge on other fields I would expect someone on the teams here to recognize Beethoven's 6th. In my opinion, Paxman's reaction is completely warranted because he's seen the contestants answer much harder questions on classical music correctly. It was so shocking to me that Britten's music was recognized but not the opening melody of Beethoven's 6th.
I actually danced to rite of spring (I'm sure it was spelled like that). The dance theme was literally a sacrifice and we all "fell" at the end. It was quite interesting, it was a performance for CDI. (California dance institute, thank you for reading!)
Yes, rite is the correct spelling for that meaning.

that Beethoven 7th is awesome btw, the whole 3 movements and each one are quite distinct.
Would recommend 5 stars
9:52 That guy answers because he is the team captain. The person, who is second from the right, is always the team captain. The classical music round is just a tiny section of the entire show.
Basically, the premise of this show is that 4 students are selected from many British universities and they are all extremely intelligent and are generally strong in most areas of study, from maths, linguistics, history, chemistry, to architecture, physics, art and music. The universities all compete against each other to see who has the cleverest students each year. The winning university wins nothing but a trophy and bragging rights over the losing universities.
The reason why the answers all pass through the captain is because it's an open question and you don't want two or three people shouting their answers on top of each other. Nothing difficult about it.
"The winning university wins nothing but a trophy and bragging rights..."
I just...LMAO
In bonuses, the captain has the option to nominate their teammate to answer instead. In this case, if Pugh Ginn wanted Warwicker to answer, he could say "Nominate Warwicker" and then Warwicker can legally answer.
Nomination is usually done when the team member insists it's an answer that's hard to pronounce like a technical term or a non-English name and the captain does not want to risk a mispronunciation.
However, good captains will usually nominate teammates if they are the primary source of the answer in order to give them credit and improve team morale. Captains who are good team managers will usually nominate Warwicker in that situation
@@hugnboba afaik BBC cant give cash prizes by laws there, but the rest can. Also this is produced by ITV Studios (or Granada, Gasciogne's era) so i guess the cash is there but just dont say it. Unless someone can confirm
"The winning university wins nothing but a trophy and bragging rights..."
as someone who used to compete in regional programming competitions, this hurt but yeah, only bragging rights all those efforts and you only bring home the medal. the trophy goes to the school.
Love this crossover. Grew up watching University Challenge and it's always a good week when you get things right that the contestants don't. :)

I love how high and mighty the host is, like he’d know any of these without his little cards
You should change the title to, “does twoset know opera?”
exactly, this was really an opera quiz, not a "classical" quiz
james friel opera is classical music ...
the answer is clear; they don't lol
@@iodeleon1440 not really opera is usually regarded separately. It's like calling musicals modern music. They share a lot of similarities but the bulk of opera time wise is not played by the classical canon orchestras. Just some overtures
@@charlietian9843 I disagree. Operas (especially orchestral accompaniments) were written in classical styles like all other classical music. Plus the classical composers composed the operas. Yes, they’re a different branch, but they’re still classical music. Are you saying William Tell Overture and Ride of the Valkyries aren’t classical pieces? Because they are from operas.
