Next episode: we became page turners for a day
i would want to watch that video!
up
Is she a conductor? I'll show myself to the door😔
I laughed out loud at this haha
Make it happen lol
when the conductor needs a conductor to conduct his conducting.
Dude, thats a alot of CONDUCT word.
Im---
Lol
Beethoven?
HAHAHAHHAHA PLSSSS
Power line be like
i love how brett in his first try was just like being a confused living metronome
Well said lol
And how ironic is that if you watched twoset's other videos, Brett's usually the one who is good with tempos and stuff lol
Brettronome
@@shela404 LMFAO-
@@shela404 Brettronome :)
This video was hilarious... but y'all are sleeping on how freaking good this youth orchestra is. Seriously. A youth orchestra that doesn't sound like a train is already an achievement.
I have friends inside and I have heard two of them play in real life, they are really very good, like diploma level at age of 12 those kind
A TRAIN- 😂😂😂😂
There are some out there, though! I’m proud to say that I am in a similar youth orchestra with the same age range that sounds like this (and I say this because we played the same exact piece and I know how to compare lol). We have fewer members, but a good conductor and instructor makes a huge difference too.
I think philharmonic youth is supposed to be one of the best youth orchestra in the county
can relate, i used to play in a youth orchestra wen i was 10/13 and i thought we sound decent, now that i've been watching some of our concerts recordings i can't understand how we were so bad
If my conductors are them I'd never be late for my rehearsals
Not a classical musician, but, same
Same
sameeee it would be such an honor
If they were my conductors, they'd roast me.
For real.
Eddy in this vid is like that Asian kid who always says that they didn’t study but end up with straight A’s lol
I think Eddy is the type of person who can see the details and learn fast, Brett's first try helps him to analyze things. I wish I could be like him lol
Exactly! HA
Eddy is that kid in every video haha
you couldn't be more precise!
But I think it was also to his advantage that Brett went first so he could learn from Brett's mistakes and also from the conductor's feedback
I love everytime Brett asked everyone “are you guys ready?” but actually he was talking to himself
That's so cute!
its like asking himself if he's ready, but outloud instead of his head
The conductor of this orchestra is FANTASTIC. I say this as a conductor myself: he communicates well with the kids in the orchestra, his gesture is effective, and his pedagogy of conducting to Brett and Eddy was amazing - just what they needed at the time, and not overwhelming. What an amazing educator on multiple levels!! Kudos to Brett and Eddy for being vulnerable and trying out something new in the music world. I love this channel so much!!!
I have a question for you : do you find it more difficult to conduct with a mask on ?
For example, does it impair your peripheral vision, or do you have to use your hands and/or your whole body more than before to convey what you want, since the musicians can't see your facial expressions ?
But not meeeeee
Agreed!
Whats a pedagogy
Yes he was very sweet. I loved watching it.♥
can you imagine them showing up to your rehearsal and you’ve been completely faking your part
ThAT WAS WHAT I WAS DOING LMAO BYE
@@FyodorDostoevskij you were part of the orchestra?
You are a gorgeous woman.
@@FyodorDostoevskij I’m just gonna comment here just to see your reply lol
@@thespeedyyoshi same
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good the actual conductor is? He is really sensitive, understanding and professional. He knows how to use his words to be clear and careful with how the kids are going to take the corrections
I wish I had one of those when I played in a youth orchestra
I actually tensed up myself when he showed how to conduct more tension :o
@@jeskedolmans5583 right?
I could feel it too
So true 🙏
Agreed. The conductor was really really good and seems to work well with everyone with the right balance being nice and cool and a little bit savage😎
@@xingyuan_ "a little bit savage" 😅😅😅 but in the right measure 😋
The conductor was actually a good teacher. Every time he gave a critique, he would explain why it was important and what difference it would make. A great choice to do the video with.
I suppose it comes with PRACTICE.
But how a conductor practice？I'm so curious.
@@yanlim18 Lots of theory work and good understanding. It takes a long time to memorise and plan out to conduct a piece...in fact the conductor in this video would spend hours analysing the full score even on the plane until he falls asleep
@@zappy1812 Wow! I see. Thank you so much for your explanation!
I wish every teacher were like that
I'll fucking never get tired of hearing Brett and Eddy play properly
Me neither...
THEY'RE SO GOOD AT PLAYING OML
You better not.
AGREED OML
*LOVE IT!!!*
Brett and Eddy in a previous video about being a conductor: You have to get the orchestra's respect in the first 10 seconds.
Brett in the first 10 seconds: What's the tempo?
LOL
Meanwhile, the orchestra is thinking, "Well, Twoset has told us to ignore the conductor and just follow the concert master."
Musicians respect conductors that can play an instrument really well too.
THAT MADE ME CACKLE
Lmaooo I read that in bretts voice I literally heard him say that
Striking that balance between "human-shaped metronome" and "interpretive dancer" sure is tricky.
Haha
Great way to put it!
That is great analogy
Like your way of thinking there mate
underrated comment
Conductor: you can use your gesture
Brett: Oh of course
Brett: *conducts like a frog and a butterfly*
but it was really fantastic to see! i really enjoied this video!
Lol
Eddy: "A shimmering vibrato."
Conductor: "They're young musicians, so you should use easy words."
Eddy: "Okay, got it. I want a shimmering sound." *editor-san: uses same word*
yes i too can write what they said
he thought vibrato was the hard word for them lol
@@asloii_1749 I’m glad they did write it because I missed that part 😏
@@asloii_1749 Maybe you've never touched grass and converse with people before but thats what we call a conversation piece. Sometimes after experiencing something, we re-tell a certain moment so we can talk and laugh about it together. Try talking with people sometimes, it's fun
@@franqueee *insert editor-san flame and beep noise* . fr tho you you are right
I literally burst out laughing when Eddy gave a whole lecture on his interpretation, the orchestra goes silent and the conductor tells him to make it just one or two words HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
i went 👁️💧👄💧👁️
XD roasted
poor Eddy🤣
SAMEE I was like "Oh nooo that was actually a very good interpretation!" 🤣
@@heartofawanderer2862 really? would that help your playing? xD
What I like about Brett and Eddy is that they go out of their way to experience different aspects of music careers: music store workers, conductors, trying out different instruments, etc. When they go and learn, they humble themselves and have fun instead of being like, "I know more about music, so you guys need to follow me!"
Fantastic videos like always, TwoSetViolin! Keep up the good work!
also eddy is me every time I see my friend mess up
Don’t forget the luthier, Olaf :)
It is kinda like Gorden Ramsay going to different countrys and having chefs in the restaurants he goes to tell him that he sucks.
@@deedit4666 They don't necessarily have to tell him he sucks. The important part is that he goes to different places, be humble, and learn how to do the unique dishes, which is what he did before the pandemic.
Although they r violinists and part of the string family, I feel like they should experience some more of the other families. Don’t get me wrong, I like that they experience many different things within the string family, but I wish they would do more brass and percussion stuff like marching band or drumline. It’ll be interesting to hear a classical musicians perspective on them.
@@menace1018 This is a great idea! I would love to have them do marching band and drumline too!
The two kid soloists were on FIRE and this is an appreciation comment for their stellar playing + being able to stand next to Brett & Eddy and look like they belonged there because they DO!
Yes, they were really good, it was a great performance.
the kid with the yellow hoodie is too cute
@@jorenlavaerts3970 I think you misspelled good**
😄
It is so interesting how the orchestra starts to feel unconfident when the conductor is unconfident. ;) Very interesting that you can hear it in the music. And this is what conducting is about. Giving the orchestra confidence, bringing the feeling to them of the piece ... so interesting.
Literally you get everything from the conductor. I had a band director who brought it all to our band practices for marching band, and by doing so you feel compelled to also give it your all. I remember the first time this particular conductor conducted our piece and afterwards everyone was exhausted and I swear the room had the after echo of how loud it was. It was so good!😊 on the other hand I've been in a room with a conductor who was pretty weak, for lack of a better way to say it, and people got lost, came in on the wrong parts, no dynamics. To an audience member it may seem like the person is just waving their hands but their job is so important! I admire conductors that can get their all from their musicians.
Yeah It's true! Most people don't actually recognise the differences that different conductors do to a band or orchestra. I had a band director one time and he was a really old conductor, but really funny and joking, so we played really well with all the lighthearted pieces. My other conductor was also a fun guy (again really old), but was a brass player (a euphonium and a trombone so he was a bit of a bully but a fun bully that everyone liked) so we played passionate pieces really well. We usually play the same pieces sort of as a throwback and even with the same piece we could see a huge difference!
So true!!
If I'm not wrong (please correct me if otherwise), the conductor is the glue of the orchestra. Keeps things together. And if that glue is weak, the orchestra is also weak? Is it like this usually?
Right, my band director from day 1 told us she didn’t want to be there. So the band sounded terrible. We’ve actually regressed as she’s continued her rant on her dislike of directing.
"If they don't catch you, its their problem"
When it comes to conductors, truer words have never been spoken.
Why does this comment not have any replies 😂

@@guezwhu174 Same! 🤣

Kids Philharmonic Orchestra
expectation: a room full of cute lil 10-15 year olds
reality: *look the same age as brett and eddy*
Probs because Eddy and Brett don't look their age
The kids philharmonic is decided into three orchestras. Seed, junior and senior. Brett and Eddy here are with the senior orchestra and I must admit that today kids look older than they are.
No one in the orchestra is above 15 actually lmao
there's some adults there in the "kids" group.
@@Karmeleon118 Those are the instructors...since most people there are actually kids, it can be hard on the conductor to manage everyone if there aren't any instructors helping out with a specific section. It helps with sectionals as well. But none of them are actual "members"
"You don't have to tell them, you can show with gestures." Someone tell this to my conductor who goes on 25 minute tangents in the middle of rehearsal.
Same lol😂
Actually, depending on what piece your playing/how long the rehearsal was, it could be a “secret” chop break for brass players
😂😂😂😂😂
My conductor almost is dancing while conducting our music 🎼 🎵 🎶
Same.
i genuinely liked the moment when the actual conductor said "nice cue" hes a savage and i really like him

Man, compared to this orchestra my youth orchestra is like a kindergarten.
New violinist here... what grade are your second violins? I’m wondering what to aim for to join my local youth orchestra
Something between grade 3 and 5 I think, but I guess that differs from orchestra to orchestra. Give it a try though, when I (cellist) joined my orchestra I learned a lot just by giving my best and trying as hard as I could and I made huge progress!
@@amedeacatpaw5987 I'm a brass player so not much help but my whole orchestra is around grade 6+ ish.. we also have a junior youth tho and they start from grade 3 I think
In my orchestra, ppl are usually like 14-17, so I guess it’s fine. But I’m 12 :P
I’m a bit smaller and the teens are so tall, they block my view of the conductor :P
@@amedeacatpaw5987 for my youth orchestra for the first 3 levels it’s just strings. I joined when I was in 4th or 5th grade the orchestra was from like 3rd to 7th maybe. It’s mostly based on skill cause There was one person in grade 11
I play violin in bellevue youth symphony orchestra btw

Are we not gonna talk about how Eddy conducted like a real conductor on his first try? Like 🤯
Yes Eddy did very well...was satisfied with his 1st attempt
16:20 where he was trying to get more out of 2nd violin you can see it on his face, like a proper conductor
Eddy was legit!
I think it's also because brett went first and already got a lot of insights and advices from Brett's turn. So it's like having a practice run.
literally that was so randomly AWESOME?
‘You have no eyes, no ears!’
‘VIOLAAA!’
**stabs heart with hand **
edit: conductor appreciation! it's not easy at all to be one so we should not take them for granted :) [tho it is rumoured that no one looks at them XD]
now that I think of it, I wonder how many people actually looked at Twoset while they conducted 🤔
edit: *HOLY CRAP I'M FAMOUS WHA--*
😂😂
*flashbacks*
lol
the stab heart with hand part was a different conductor but it was funny nonetheless 😂
OHHHH I REMEMBER THAT ONE
as a non-musician, the amount of things i've learnt from watching twoset is insane
Me too... Binge watching (and laughing) again tonight...
@@vivy9nso Hmmm, that's a real toughie and finding somewhere (not too far away) to practice wouldn't be easy. I believe that TwoSet have had to negotiate with their neighbours though, cos I recall Eddy saying they applauded when he finished his Sibelius 3Mil drop...
Relatable, have a nice day.
I agree👍🏼
Two set in same scenarios
Bret: shows off his uncertainties and fears, unbothered
Eddy: shows off some sort of confidence to cover up his fears
Takeaways of this episode:
1. Conductors are sensitive generals
2. Brett can go a little power mad when stressed
3. Mind the violas
4. Eddy does big arm movements when nervous/lost
I love this 😌
lol yes!
1. Conductors are sensitive generals
Conductor: YOU HAVE NO EARS AND NO EYES!!!!
VIOOOOLAA! VIOOOLAA!!! :(((
"Mind the violas" HAHAHHAHA
eddy always go second so that he can learn from brett's mistakes. i see what you're doing eddy 😏
Always
The same as how they are born 🌚👌
ruclips.net/video/4kS5O2SbbK0/видео.html....
This is very true
@@sarabensouda7422 pls stop :)
Eddy's first attempt I thought was his best. He went with his instincts and emotions and didn't start second-guessing everything. It seemed to actually go downhill from there and he was too much in his head. Eddy has natural conducting skills. I've noticed it in other vids.
yeah, thought the same
I have a question, does having perfect pitch help him conduct?
@@Noone-ue6xo no. Conducting is about rhythm and dynamics, and directing a group of people to play that rhythm and those dynamics on your cue. More or less anyway...
@@hbarattai see and thanks for responding! :D
No one as the other comment said, pitch isn’t that important when live conducting if the members already know their notes and you aren’t the everyday teacher helping them with ensemble intonation. To be ‘natural’ it’s more important to have great familiarity with the piece and know where you want to take it. The gestures will follow.
I appreciate that the real conductor is both really amused and patient/serious. Like, he's having fun, making it fun and also makes sure that they actually learn how to do it.
I haven't played in an orchestra. I always knew that conducting is harder than it looks but I found it really interesting to see how much work and effort and experience it actually takes. Made me respect conductors even more ^-^
As a conductor it’s really cool that twoset made everyone had more appreciation or understanding about a part of what we do! If you are interested in knowing more, I recently made a video answering frequent conducting questions :)
@@howimettheopera cool! I put it on my To Watch List
@@arikasandemore6221 awesome, hope you enjoy it 🙌
I've never played in an orchestra either it's mostly solos and private concerts since I take lessons with a private teacher and I know that pianos aren't really always included in orchestras unless they're the leading instrument so that really bums me out... And watching people like Brett and Eddy who put so much emotion and effort into their instruments makes me feel so happy to see fellow musicians that are so in touch and connected with their community and instrument
He has memorized the score and can see it clearly in his mind's eye, every instrument's part flowing in near perfect synchronization with the tempo that comes out of him. Thus, he has the mental bandwidth and processing power to use gestures and command his physical body to display what he suggests the orchestra do during the performance. This memorization of the entire musical score liberates him to become a teacher and instructor and conductor. He's a fine conductor.
Oh my god, this is my (former) youth orchestra. I was surprised to see my violin teacher Luo Wei here! I joined them in my teens when they first started out and its nice to see how well the youth orchestra has grown since :)
He plays violin too? Damn, I feel like every conductor can play at least one instrument.
@@divyap4357 I mean you kinda have to, right? Conductors are musicians too.
@@cheesecakelasagna I get where you're coming from. I mean James Levine and John Williams did piano, Dudamel on violin, Zubin Mehta learned double bass, what else?
You have to learn an instrument when you're studying to become a conductor. At the very least you need to play the piano because you have to work through scores.
@@divyap4357 to be a conductor you have to know how to play an instrument, it’s every conductor not just them

This is me
I play bass clarinet in a community band. We are all adults ranging from 18-70+ years old. We did this concert once where we played for people with mental disabilities. And this one boy wanted to be a conductor. He was 18. He played a video game where you could conduct a band. It was his dream to conduct a band. We were playing Christmas music and we picked an easy song that if things went south we could play without being conducted. He did pretty good ✌🏻 He was so excited and so happy that he got to conduct a band and if felt good to make his dream come true.
Wish you videod it
Woah that's so fun and adorable!
Very nice story
@@Ben-my2wz That is so sweet for you guys to do 🥺 I’m so glad that he enjoyed it
Awww my heart melted.. ♡♡
The Vivaldi at the end actually made me tear up - it was so powerful and vibrant, all orange and gold. I love their playing so much, and the other two soloists were brilliant as well! I rarely get chills/tear up during music, but this piece just hit me. Way to go!
Yeah, that Vivaldi was epic.
Orange and gold. Yes.
what a way to describe Vivaldi!
Soo true! And they play soo well i am hearing it again and again❤️
I rewatched it way too many times.. So obsessed with all of them playing with the accompaniment of the orchestra.
Can we talk about how attractive Maestro Luo is? Like not just looks but how he's sensitive and passionate not just toward the music but also toward the kids? Keeping his words simple and direct so the kids understand right away and can focus on their music...

The moral of the video: Respect the conductors, this is a hard job. I can relate to strict conductors because my conductors are strict af, but we still have to respect them. Being a conductor isn’t easy, so practice and make your conductors proud.

The conductor saying "Musicians are very sensitive" and Brett's face was just perfect. 10/10 editing with the grayed out.
Everyone sounded amazing and remarkably together despite Brett and Eddy being new to conducting. Part 3 was fantastic, bravo to all four, especially the kids.
I feel so spoilt with that Vivaldi performance. Mad props to those kids who did the solos, Ling Ling approves 👏
If i did solos with brett and eddy STANDING AND PLAYING RIGHT NEXT TO ME i would break and get so nervous
I love how conductors talk about musicians as if we were some sort of pets 😂😂😂 "If they can't follow, that's their problem, but don't abuse power, they are very sensitive and might stop listening to you". Man, I wasn't even there and I felt personally treated like a well-trained animal!!! 😂😂😂😂
The musicians are the instrument of the conductor, I guess!
I wouldn't say that's treating like a pet, more like someone who's in charge but responsible and aware of their position of power
Are we just gonna ignore talented yellow jacket boy? Or was the child soloist supposed to be glossed over. Me and my violin have never felt more inferior 🤠

As conductors, we always have to anticipate, be at least a beat or more ahead of the orchestra. Otherwise you are not giving information that the musicians can use, you are sort of vibing with them
You make a good point but 'a beat or more' isn't always necessary. It can also come down to the individual conductor; I've played with some who are many beats ahead and some who are hardly ahead at all, and it usually doesn't determine the quality of their conducting
@@Max-jf5vu of course, the quality is determined by soo many factors. Specially cause a lot if not most of a conductor’s work happens in rehearsal and if everything is well set up, then a professional orchestra may not need that much information on the go at the concert ;)
It also may depend on how fast each person can process the conducting, if they need a heads up a measure before, or 3 measures before, depends on each section. Conducting seems complicated.
@@applepeachbirdduckmaster801 As a conductor I can confirm, yes it is complicated 🥴. But I recently made a video about conducting where I make the point that I don’t think being a conductor is harder than say being a surgeon; it’s all relative :)
It is a completely different mindset. I played in a small orchestra and we were rehearsing an arrangement I had written myself, the conductor had to leave for a while and asked me to conduct. So, I knew the score perfectly well, it was entertainment music (much easier) and I still screwed up completely. Just the thing with keeping the pulse with one hand and signalling (cue, hush, louder..) with the other was enough to overwhelm me.
Let's all have a moment of silence for Editor-San, who edits every video and makes sure we all laugh.
Thank you.
Eddy watching master conductor demonstrate his part: *I'm screwed* cracked me up

@@Estela6191 or cause eddy being an introvert find it scarier to go first, while yolo brett being nice and taking it for the team. It’s always this kind of dynamic with the duo lol, even since their older videos.
Seeing Brett and Eddy playing together with other musicians like this really shows how multi faceted they are. It's not many times we've been able to see the play together with an orchestra like this. It shows so clearly that they're highly trained musicians. Now I'm even more inspired to apply for music schools. Thank you 2set!
Brett threw himself forward as the first victim AGAIN.
Brave 👏
This boy has a knight spirit. 🦸♂️
He probably lost a Rock Paper Scissors before they recorded the video lmao
@@duas9468 Then he's terrible at Rock Paper Scissors 😂
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how wholesome the finale is? just to see a group of people coming together and do what is most dear to probably all of them....Enjoying Music as a Collective
The real conductor: gives feedback
Eddy: tries to find ways to roast Brett in the background
conductor: "you can face them"
Brett: *faces them *"oh hello."

Conclusions:
Brett: Panic, Lost, confused

I know right ? next time eddy should go first
Eddy did very well tho for the first time conducting imo!
i always feel like brett goes first in a lot of things they do, and eddy learns from it.. rip anxious brett
@@sarabensouda7422 pls stop :)
omg the part at 15:51 where the conductor guy shows eddy how to conduct it in a way to really connect with the orchestra is so amazing. You can HEar how different the music was when he conducted
15:27 sorry I’m just using these time stamps to see the difference haha
Ling Ling is the conductor and the whole orchestra at once
Indeed!!

This video is like an appreciation for conductors video. It has made me realise how hard my band director has his job.. To all the band directors out there: I have newfound respect for yall and keep up the awesome work yall do!!
As a conductor: thank you :)
Definitely! My mom always said it looks easy and I’m like WOT 🤣👀
Me: Sleepy
Message: Hey, you're not coming for today's practice?
Me: Nah, Imma sleep
Message: There are new conductors
Me: So?
Message: It's Brett and Eddy

I would just be like 😱
I mean.. that Luo Wei conductor looks fine tho. I-
This is not related to the vid but I just want to thank Eddy & Brett for giving me a free online music course lol. Earlier we had an exam & a part of that exam contains classical music questions that are 91.96353% not known by non-musical students (especially that I study science) and I'm so sure I aced it through my twoset knowledge. Don't mind me, I'm just flexing the fact that I'm part of TwoSet Academy.
This is cool. Can you tell us any of the questions that were on it, that you were able to answer because of the TwoSet Academy? Just super-curious what kind of questions "they" asked.
Yeah, I would also want to know. Reply if you could haha
love being a ling ling wannabe :)
i am not a musician. i’ve watched twoset for almost two years now and i’ve learned so much. watching this has shown me that conductors are BADASS and are a force to be reckoned with. i learned that being a conductor isn’t just waving your baton around,, there are dynamics to remember.
that’s why i love your channel, you’ve taught me and other non musicians so much and have shown true love for the classical genre. classical music is something i listen to all time because of you both. thank you brett and eddy,, for being amazing. 💌 🎻
Hey! I am an orchestra conductor and totally agree with you: they have done so much for classical music and inspired many people ( myself included) to talk here on YT about our love for classical and what we do. :)
keyaunna, you are so inspiring! Keep on listening to classical music, learning about classical music and watching Two/Set and your life will change for the better! All the best to you.
let me feed this into you guys: brett and eddy are almost 30. like seriously, even i can’t believe it myself
I dont mind.
@@robiihart7531 i don’t either, just saying, they don’t seem to be close to that age. lol
@@OrangeSands Asian things 😜
They look 16djkdk
@@carla_sofia_c literally tho lmao
Brett practically doing squats while he is conducting is the funniest thing to me.
The yellow-jacket kid gives me young Brett vibe
Mini brett!!
oh i just realized it but eddy did sounds a lot better on his new violin. idk if it's just some sort of psychological effect but he sounds more proud and confident here. i'm really glad for him!
I felt the same. I’m shook
yessss, i thought it's just because they told us about the new violin, glad for Eddyy^^
Um FYI the psychological effect u mentioned is called “ placebo”
@@aterriblefate930 ohh haha yeah that! english is not my first language, please excuse me😅
@@celineee4513 #hardworkpaysoff
Eddy I guess could be a conductor cause he hasn't got "inside tense" like Brett, but he lacks strength and stability and maybe that's the only reason why he's not a lingling yet:D. Brett is more kinda hardworking and solid, careful, that's why sometimes he sounds more sophisticated than Eddy. But they both are genuinely passioned about music and it really feels, and that's the most crucial
Thank you for your excellent observations.
Excellent indeed :D
Ling and Ling
Together they form lingling!!! It was them all along!!!!
Wao
This is one of the cutest videos I’ve ever seen
Also, if anyone ever says “conducting is easy, you just stand there you don’t even need a conductor” I will send them to this video after breaking their nose
How do people even think that?!?!?!😨😨😨
@@arianah8842 because they haven't experienced conducting themselves 🙄
Just put them in the spotlight and see how it goes🤭
really shines a light on how difficult being a conductor really is. you decide what the orchestra sounds and feels like, and you have to communicate it in a way that anybody can understand.
and bravo to that youth orchestra. bra-fricking-vo. i could not take my focus off of this video just because their playing was so good. very talented and hard working youths that deserve great praise
Have I ever played a violin before? Nope. Do I ever plan on trying to learn to play violin? Nope. Have I binged every episode on this channel? Yep 😁
Gang gang! I was interested in learning double bass contra bass (low airy notes don't hurt as much➡️) but haha not gonna happen! I've had chronic migraines since birth so tbh.. I rarely even listen to classical music Considering sharp sounds feel liek hot knitting needles inside my head but you bet I've probably seen almost all their videos in the last.. SOME amount .. years.
Why not plan on learning it? It's a good plan
@@xingyuan_ it looks really hard i cant never play violin :( i want to play but i cant probably
Same here^^
Which do you think is harder, double bass or violin?
Maybe Twoset were told to be con-DOCTORS instead so they didn’t get musician as first choice in the career test
hmmm they've been trying a lot of careers recently:
-working in a music shop
-conducting
and wao wat an honor to be in this orchestra...I'm kinda jealous XD
but if Twoset turned up at my school's string ensemble one day I think I'd combust on the spot
Aaaah makes sense
OOF
iNtEreStiNG
Becon(become) Ductors lol bad joke sorry
They've also learned guzheng and bass just to name a few they've been learning recently.
I like how they're both just sitting there depressed while they watch the conductor
ruclips.net/video/4kS5O2SbbK0/видео.html♥️♥️♥️♥️
"if they cannot catch you, thats their problem" -wise words from this wonderful conductor
brett: so i have to be in control, be general... AND DON'T WAIT FOR THEM 💀
Imagine it was a whole symphonic orchestra with not only strings but wind players and percussionists as well😂 even more cues to miss...
ruclips.net/video/4kS5O2SbbK0/видео.html...
Yea, it's a little tricky when the wind players have to wear masks.
@@jonra19 how does that work?
@@rosin_eater it doesn't lol
The fact that Brett is wearing his Sacrilegious hoodie while conducting made me laugh so hard!
lmaooo
Ok but Vivaldi L’Estro Armonico op. 3 concerto no. 10 is EXTREMELY underrated! Loved their performance at the end!👏👏👏👏👏
Vivaldi's creations apart from the seasons are very underrated overall. :(
It made my day!
When they started playing the final movement, I really felt like I was a parent watching their children play. Proud and Happy. It was so good.
In Norway we actually have a show like this. Its a bunch of celeberties that get taught to conduct by kids that play classical music. Its really fun bcz u can tell that some of them never listened to classical music or remember what tempo their piece was. Someone was gonna play flight of the bumblebee and they did it so slowly that one of the judges called it the ‘morning walk of the bumblebee’
Sounds like a fun show. Wish they had it with subs on RUclips. There was a similar show on the BBC.
What's the show called? (and do you remember which episode that was? 😬) thank youuu
well go on then, link us the video lol
@@luciusrex no
We had a similair thing in Croatia.
I just realized how much difference the conductor makes on an orchestra especially when Eddy was conducting it sounded so different from their own conductor
You must have good ears! I couldn't really tell the difference since i'm a non-musician 😅
ruclips.net/video/4kS5O2SbbK0/видео.html♥️♥️♥️♥️....
@@sarabensouda7422 pls stop :)
@@Noone-ue6xo you can actually notice when eddy conducts and the conductor asks him “is this what you want?” and eddy says “its not what i had in mind” you can actually hear the difference with Eddy it was much slower and the cellos and double basses entered very slowly it sounded reluctant and it was slightly dragging it was really because of his gestures while the Conductor was more snappy and everyone entered at the right time (this is no shade on Eddy he did amazing)
Sometimes we make fun of their "exaggerated" gestures but wow, really conductors are amazing
The exaggeration is very necessary too, because small gestures wouldn't be visible to the musicians in the back.
what's interesting too is that I've never had the gestures explained to me but I naturally understand what the conductor is trying to convey.... but it seems like expressing through gestures needs to be taught to a conductor despite being a musician who already understands the importance of it.
The 19:45 moment when Eddy played the solo bring chills to my bone. The way he swerves his body shows his passion for the movement
I felt the pressure when I conducted because Club president was late for rehearsal.
And we were playing wood wind instruments ~ Palchabel Canon D. I know it's lame but when 99% of us are sports athletes, we gotta do with what we have.
With the amount of goofy videos these make, I sometimes forget how talented they actually are!
stressed brett is the cutest thing ever
Stressed Brett noises too. 😂
Brett and Eddy : conducting.
flashbacks to their old funny videos on conducting...
-Ah the good times

Beautiful!!!
Just wow 👏 👏 😮
Been searching for this comment!!
Yessss I enjoyed it so much!!!

I wonder what it’s like going to practice and play day by day with a bunch of passionate, talented people.. seems like lots of pressure but also great fun.
It is! But extremely nerve racking because you always think you’re the worst(which i am in my orchestra) but it’s really fun, and you play a lot of fun pieces :)
At the very the end, The child that wearing the yellow jacket, is like mini Brett XD
After seeing all the throwback photos, you can’t convince me that the kid in the yellow at 19:01 isn’t Brett from an alternate timeline
YESSSSS I WAS THINKING THE SAME
I can't see the conductor's face clearly but I definitely see he's a snack.
Agree ❤❤😂
You made me watch the video again.😂
