@@phantasmal914it was very deserved, but imo, I think Elli should gotten first. She was wonderful and she really truly performed. Kevin I feel should’ve deserved at least 3rd or 4th
It was great seeing everyone have such a great time. Introducing Brett & Eddy to Brussels sure makes me want to add the city to my list of places to visit!
@@poyenwu It was. The Queen Elisabeth Competition age requirement is 18-31 during the year of the competition. This year Brett is 32 and Eddy is 31; in 4 years they would be too old to compete. Notice all the finalists are young. As hosts, Brett and Eddy would have known this. Still funny though, lol
ngl the fact that brett actually managed to pull off tchaikovsky with his iNtErEsTiNg bowings was genuinely kind of impressive lol he adapted to them really quickly!
The judges responses "was that intentional" Brett: yes, since like two hours ago "It sounds like you are trying to be very original" Brett: uhh...not exactly original.. I kinda had people telling me what to do the whole time 😂
@@Arcessitor it might, yeah. though it actually sounded really out-of-the-box and personal, so i took it more like a positive thing, rather than a negative
and now i'm changing my approach of learning piano. i used to be happy once i hitted the perfect line. now i know i have to get the perfect line everytime before stopping.
@@haliho8827 Because Elli and Hana trolled him with weird bowing advice 😂 I'm honestly impressed at Brett's composure, I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face playing like that in front of the jury hahaha
Better for them to adopt a stern, neutral attitude than to sometimes be excited and other times bored, I think. You never wanna know what they're thinking while you're playing
@LostLEGION123 fax I still am howling over that finalist giving troll bowing suggestions But her advice about rehearsing what you will be thinking onstage is really good
@@eyuan2364 don't think they were trolling--most of the advice was very good and problem is that musicians fixate on mistakes but not necessarily on making music. Everybody makes mistakes--it's where you create music, not perfection.
they won't see this- but I'm actually so gosh darn proud of them. they have no right to say they didn't make it in life, because from where I'm sitting, they made it, and they made it big. love you twoset
I really really love this slightly-more-serious, authentic classical music content !! Not that the usual humorous tone of twoset is bad, not at all, but I really appreciate this type of video where Brett and Eddy really bring us to the essence of what classical music is and what it is like to play in different settings. It's a vicarious learning experience and the way they interact with the finalists and the juries really is very uplifting 🎉❤
I actuall started ignoring their content because it was some boring LOOSELY related to classical crap. I really missed their classical stuff which educated us on the history and industry.
@@oxoelfoxoat the time the application window closed Eddy was actually young enough to qualify but by the time the next Violin contest happens in 2028 they would both be too old
I really miss Brett and Eddy play seriously and now we finally got it!! And I love their playing so much😭 It's not all about how perfect their technique is, (of course this is important), but also about their passion towards classical music, their hard work, and their courage to not be so perfect. I really hope to hear Brett and Eddy play more pieces in their videos, and I can't wait to see what they can bring us when we reach 5M!! Love you guys dearly, and remember to practice lol
Musicality is also important and it’s something that you can’t teach. Brett’s Mendelssohn impressed me a lot. There are places where he definitely needs practice for the technique but I enjoy more musicians that don’t play perfect but therefore with lots of passion and musicality. Eddy’s Sibelius has a lot of passion and he also makes you feel the mood the piece should have. I also want them to upload some videos where they play seriously. With a string quartet or solo stuff. Would be awesome. They are playing really good.
I know Eddy and Brett are silly and fun, but honestly the reason I keep coming back is their appreciation for music and their *humility*. They didn’t need to ask for feedback but they just want to play for anyone who can give tips.
Actually really impressed by Eddy and Brett's tone when they played for the finalists! Definitely 40 hours of practice behind that! Eddy's Sibelius was *chef's kiss!
Last year, I got to play the Ravel 2nd Sonata with one of the judges, Kyung Sun Lee. She improved my musicianship by tons in every rehearsal! Thank you TwoSet for showcasing the personalities of these wonderful musicians.
How dare they say they didn’t make it in life as doctors or soloists Edit: I know that they obviously aren’t doctors or soloists, but they have achieved something higher.
Congrats twoset! You made it so far to be invited to the most prestigious violin competition in the world, being broadcasted live on national tv, meet the queen of Belgium and all the amazing finalists and the jury. You've really came far.and I can't wait to see where your passion, hard work and dedication's gonna take you. And of course, congrats to all those who played in the competition!
Yup. It was a HUGE honor for Brett and Eddy to be invited, so it was probably best they didn't do the really chaotic (and howlingly funny) routines like they did for Menuhin. It has been great fun to watch all the stuff they've put out so far on Queen Elisabeth and so heartwarming to watch the finalists' interactions and how they tried to help our boys for their performances. All these finalists are great musicians - hope they all go on to greater heights. Brett and Eddy are so humble. It's AMAZING how much they've improved since they started TwoSet. Those 2 judges must have had a blast and managed to keep straight faces. Their critiques were helpful, especially the comment about doing things differently, meaning taking risks during a competition. But I think Brett got it exactly right about being true to yourself - even in this kind of space.😀
I can only admire the maturity and passion for music that it must take to make fun of yourself but also practice hard and really present your art in front of judges
@@stevenmeyer9674 they know they aren’t getting to the competition with their plan, but they still play the joke like if they were really asking , and still play their best performance for feedback, that’s what I think isn’t as easy as it seems
Dear TwoSetViolin, You guys are some of my biggest inspiration ever. If you are leaving for good please please please bring back the old videos. I don't understand why you would want to delete all those years of hard work. Also please, at least, make a good farewell video. Don't leave with just a post. That is not really an honorable way to go. Honestly. Thank you for all your years to us musicians. It really means a lot.
Guys i have to admit that this is one of your best videos yet . I really enjoyed hearing you play again and get advise from the finalists and the adjudicators . Keep up the great work and we love you ❤❤❤
Listening to them both play, all I could think was how beautiful the music was -- even when a super-top soloist who wins international competitions ISN'T playing it. All of this music is so gorgeous and strong, and the classical world acts like being off by one nanosecond will cause it all to come crashing down in ruins. Clearly, that's just not the case.
When in a competition to find out THE BEST, every nano mistake is crucial. Just like running in the Olympics, where there's often a fraction of a second between gold medal and not being on the podium.
The end of this was pure comedy. I played saxaphone, snare, and sang for 14 years and lost touch in University, you guys have brought back a love for music i thought was in the past, appreciate your content!~
@@handlenot030 they meant more like they could brag abt what Brett and Eddy have done to their kids in like a "they're already doing things like this and you're here" kinda way
@@handlenot030 kinda like, "oh look at brett and eddy meeting the queen and yet what are u still doing with your life?" It's literally an inside joke within the twoset fanbase
I seriously hopeTwoset Academy could be a thing!! Since Brett and Eddy have lots of connections with so many talented violinists, they can invite them to give masterclasses from time to time! I'd join Twoset Academy if it really happened! It would be nice if they have practice rooms and violin lessons (by violin teachers oc, not necessarily by themselves personally lol)
Tell me why I’ve been a sub and fan of this channel for years and I don’t play instruments. I never grow tired of seeing them grow and get the love they deserve. They truly seem to embody “you are never working if you do what you love”. A lot of the “musical” advice is applicable to simply all life challenges. Love to see it.
Im not a musician and know not much about music, but Im happy we are able to see a jury like this. Nothing like the tv shows. They didnt talk about right or wrong, good or bad, like or dislike. They speak about the way they play, how the piece was written, the way they can acomplish a better performance. Awesome people.
Thank you Queen Elisabeth for existing so we can hear and experience great performances AND have twoset marvel over a statue of an infant peeing to save the city.
That part playing with Kevin Zhu blew my mind. We use the word “talent “ but it doesn’t come close to describing the skill and mentality something like this requires
Thanks for sharing moments from behind the stage in a major competition...I guess it really was an honour for you to be invited to such a competition...
These two friends started youtube just for fun, and inspired so many people to be what they want and just be happy, and now... look at them... so pround :) btw when are you guys coming to portugal?
I actually really found the competitors' advice really really good! It made sense and I'll use it the next time I have to perform! I also noticed that their bonds were really close and I found that so heartwarming 🥺💗 meanwhile, good job Brett and Eddy! I could feel the pressure from behind the screen.. but still, there was definitely improvement and the sounds was soooo good 😻😻 i love that they played Tchaikovsky and Sibelius, the og pieces 💗
It's crazy to see you guys in Belgium, especially when I have been away from Belgium for my studies for 6 months. It's so cool that you were invited! The Queen Elisabeth Competition really gets a lot of coverage in Belgium each year, so even people who know nothing of classical music will have heard that it's going on bc it's always reported on the news. Sad that I wasn't home to watch it this year 🥲
Vlaams of Waals? Flamand ou wallon? X (ik ben een Vlaamse. Ik was echt stom verbaasd toen ik hen enkele weken een foto van manneke pis zag posten …) (je suis flamande. J’étais totalement étonnée quand j’ai vu une photo de manneken pis sur insta quelque semaines avant … je hoort bijna niks over België en dan ineens mijn favo youtubeurs in mijn hoofdstad! La Belgique est si petite, c’est presque comme le pays n’existe pas. Et maintenant mais RUclips préférés sont dans ma capitale! )(j’espère que mon français n’a pas trop d’erreurs😅😅, svp corrige-moi. Je veux vraiment améliorer mon français)
Everything changed when Eddy played the Sibelius, and I knew they were going to tell him to play that instead of the Brahms. In the Brahms, he's still just 'going through the motions', trying to get through it because he's still learning it, and you can hear that. But the Sibelius was different; he surprised them with how he played that one. And BRETT....going along with the bowing jokes was funny, even funnier because he's so deadpan!
That's Queen Elizabeth with a Z. Funny thing is that Belgian's current crown princess is also called Elisabeth, so when she becomes queen, Belgium will have Queen Elisabeth II, extending the tradition of confusion.
What a journey! Loved the video! Good to see new places, especially the world of classical musicians which us, mere mortals wouldn't get to see otherwise
What a great video! This is why Brett and Eddy are loved, respected by many and have become an inspiration to others. Brett and Eddy represent PASSION for learning, HUMILITY to learn and improve and COURAGE to perform for the jury to get feedbacks for improvements.
Made me appreciate the level of effort and brilliance that goes into top concert level performance... And also super glad I don't have to be anywhere near it.
Brett & Eddy, your playing is so beautiful. It's been a joy to watch you improve through the years. Eddy, your Sebelius is compelling & haunting. Honestly, my favorite interpretation of all I've heard. I don't know how you were feeling while you played, but it was like the music was coming from your soul.
Both jury seem serious adult (I mean "adult" adult) who are probably not following their content online and only doing this because the organizer asked them to, so I believe it is real, which is hilariously hurtful…hhhhhhhhhh
@@drogoking I think Lorenzo followed them before this actually. In fact he and Kyung Sun Lee both posted photos or stories with/about them on insta in the days preceding the filming of that skit, so I'm thinking they probably volunteered. At the very least when I saw it was only two jury members filming with them, I was not surprised to see it was those two out of the twelve jury members.
I was following the competition live in Belgium so I suspected this video was coming, but it was still a lovely surprise 😅 what a great idea to invite you guys, they couldn't ask for a better promotion!!!
Lovely video, guys! I especially appreciate your all's humility about yourselves. Being a nonviolinist lay person ignorant of all the nuances of bowing, etc, I will just say that both Eddy and Brett moved me so much with their respective excerpts of Sibelius (a fav of mine) and Tchaikovsky (of course). Keep it up, guys! This is why I SO love this channel and TwoSet Violin!
🇧🇪 hey, leuk om eens een Belg te ontmoeten. Ik heb eens zin om mijn eigen taal te typen, of om mijn Frans te verbeteren. Spreken we dezelfde taal of kan ik mijn Frans bij jou oefenen? 😉coucou! C’est super de rencontrer un belge une fois! Quelle langue parles-tu?

Underrated comment
That is such a good statement. I’ll remember that one, and I’m 66.
the jury looked SO SCARY at first but when they gave their thoughts, my perception of them flipped entirely :) auditions are daunting
Better for them to adopt a stern, neutral attitude than to sometimes be excited and other times bored, I think. You never wanna know what they're thinking while you're playing
experts know a lot, are sobre in mindset, have gained some wisdom. I have none practice whatsoever. Just life experience

Vlaams of Waals? Flamand ou wallon? X (ik ben een Vlaamse. Ik was echt stom verbaasd toen ik hen enkele weken een foto van manneke pis zag posten …) (je suis flamande. J’étais totalement étonnée quand j’ai vu une photo de manneken pis sur insta quelque semaines avant … je hoort bijna niks over België en dan ineens mijn favo youtubeurs in mijn hoofdstad! La Belgique est si petite, c’est presque comme le pays n’existe pas. Et maintenant mais RUclips préférés sont dans ma capitale! )(j’espère que mon français n’a pas trop d’erreurs😅😅, svp corrige-moi. Je veux vraiment améliorer mon français)
@@norabenlahssen522now write it in German.
Everything changed when Eddy played the Sibelius, and I knew they were going to tell him to play that instead of the Brahms. In the Brahms, he's still just 'going through the motions', trying to get through it because he's still learning it, and you can hear that. But the Sibelius was different; he surprised them with how he played that one. And BRETT....going along with the bowing jokes was funny, even funnier because he's so deadpan!
I thought for the longest time that the Queen Elisabeth comp. was founded by the Queen Elisabeth of the UK 🙈.
Me too😂😂
me too, but apparently ysaye was friends w the former queen of belgium
Oh you're gonna be confused in a few years since the next queen of Belgium will be Elisabeth too x)
@@pcptit makes sense since he was Belgian …
That's Queen Elizabeth with a Z. Funny thing is that Belgian's current crown princess is also called Elisabeth, so when she becomes queen, Belgium will have Queen Elisabeth II, extending the tradition of confusion.
what a wonderful video! thanks so much for showing this part of violin and Brussels looked beautiful!
Twoset are my official practice break besties hahaha love you guys videos!!!
What a journey! Loved the video! Good to see new places, especially the world of classical musicians which us, mere mortals wouldn't get to see otherwise
What a great video! This is why Brett and Eddy are loved, respected by many and have become an inspiration to others. Brett and Eddy represent PASSION for learning, HUMILITY to learn and improve and COURAGE to perform for the jury to get feedbacks for improvements.
Made me appreciate the level of effort and brilliance that goes into top concert level performance... And also super glad I don't have to be anywhere near it.
these guys have single handedly done so much for the violin in recent years.
er, duo handedly-?
Brett & Eddy, your playing is so beautiful. It's been a joy to watch you improve through the years.
Eddy, your Sebelius is compelling & haunting. Honestly, my favorite interpretation of all I've heard. I don't know how you were feeling while you played, but it was like the music was coming from your soul.
It's great to see the competitors are having so much fun with them.
25:30 I genuinely laughed my left lung out at this
Whether that one reaction was scripted or not, it still gave me a very good laugh
Both jury seem serious adult (I mean "adult" adult) who are probably not following their content online and only doing this because the organizer asked them to, so I believe it is real, which is hilariously hurtful…hhhhhhhhhh
Probably scripted
@@drogoking I think Lorenzo followed them before this actually. In fact he and Kyung Sun Lee both posted photos or stories with/about them on insta in the days preceding the filming of that skit, so I'm thinking they probably volunteered. At the very least when I saw it was only two jury members filming with them, I was not surprised to see it was those two out of the twelve jury members.

@@Hannigramxox and? just enjoy the free content
Give the jury an oscar please. Perfect ending!!!!!!
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU COMING TO MY COUNTRY???
Ah yes, I was busy practicing!
40hrs😂
4:01 not them finding out minutes before being interviewed in the broadcast that it's live 😂. You did great though!
so nice to see them playing tchaikovsky and sibelius again ❤
That’s AWESOME!!! You guys are so hardworking and talented! Congratulations!!💗🎉
I was following the competition live in Belgium so I suspected this video was coming, but it was still a lovely surprise 😅 what a great idea to invite you guys, they couldn't ask for a better promotion!!!
Lovely video, guys! I especially appreciate your all's humility about yourselves.
Being a nonviolinist lay person ignorant of all the nuances of bowing, etc, I will just say that both Eddy and Brett moved me so much with their respective excerpts of Sibelius (a fav of mine) and Tchaikovsky (of course). Keep it up, guys!
This is why I SO love this channel and TwoSet Violin!
Excellent content guys, thank you so much for, keep it going!!! Classic music deserves something like this!!!!
That's a brilliant video. Well done all.
Thank you for showing one of the most beautiful aspects of my small country.
That was such an amazing performance, Brett and Eddy 😭✨
That ending is gold
We need more videos from this competition!
We need more twoset vlogs like this! 🔥
That was soooooooo intense that my heart almost stop beating, but still I feel happy for both of them
Truly an iconic vlog. What an amazing and stimulating video for the ears
As a Belgian, I love that you got to do this!!!
🇧🇪 hey, leuk om eens een Belg te ontmoeten. Ik heb eens zin om mijn eigen taal te typen, of om mijn Frans te verbeteren. Spreken we dezelfde taal of kan ik mijn Frans bij jou oefenen? 😉coucou! C’est super de rencontrer un belge une fois! Quelle langue parles-tu?
@@norabenlahssen522 Ik spreek beide talen! Je parle les deux langues!
Happy to see Twoset having so much fun and receiving lots of love
