Lesson learned : get page turners who can read music sheets.
the 2:28 i couldn't laugh at that i mean who could that's downright terrifying that's not even nearly funny forgetting ur notes that's like the scariest shit that could happen to anyone
Jack The Ripper This is exactly why I don't want to memorize music for a performance. I'm afraid of getting nervous and just forgetting everything.
When I studied for my master’s we had an accompanist who only uses her hasband as page turner. Her husband doesn’t read music. She trained him to just count measure by measure. She accompanied almost all my collegues’ recitals and I’ve been to all of them. He never misses a beat.
It also helps if they have heard the piece before.
also don't bring a nokia phone with you if you're watching an orchestra
I'm from the future 2020. You can't cough. Anywhere. Never. This action might be considered as an attempted murder.
Corona alert
o7
Me just watching this because i am bored
@@sierratsuchida7831 watching back this video, eddy looks so different nowadays, brett still looks the same
@@celinaphuah2909 eddy has matured, even his way of thinking uwu and also brett toooo,,, they improved a lot
I've just been watching old Twoset videos and in this video Eddy's hair looks like it switched with Brett's! XD
Yess lmao
Same lol
ahh yes, Eddy's hair right!
Omg
XDn't
The Russian national anthem fail is so real. It was all over the news
Lmao
What happened?
It' sounds like a middle school band, to be honest
@@holyrolypoly Just search Russian anthem fail and you can probably see it.
That is what we get for phones ringing during classical concerts. I mean every concert i've been to so far. And not just one time, but several times during one concert. My city (Omsk, Russia) is like a bad record breaker.
Plus there was a violin competition (4th Yankelevitch International Violin Competition in 2018 ) i listened to, and guess what - a ringing phone during a contestant performance.
WTFP?
The nokia orchestra one is actually really, really good. It is the opposite of a fail.
There's a chance that many of them have played it before, as it actually comes from Francisco Tarrega's piece "Gran Vals", from 1902.
I stumbled across it not too long ago and was shocked to find out that it is actually part of a bigger composition.
Somehow, I get the feeling that not too many people know this though..
@@sc1ss0r1ng Yes, people who play guitar know it well enough though. Besides the Nokia ringtone, Francisco Tarrega was also responsible for (unintentionally) giving us the theme music for the film, "The Killing Fields". For that film they stole his piece "Recuerdos de la Alhambra".
A fail by the guy whose phone went off though.
Staged
It's the most obvious fake in the history of fakes.
"bassists don't play important parts"
Now I know how the violas feel every video of this channel
A. R ikr but it also kind of pissed me off
Yeah I can't watch a single orchestra video without seeing a comment on a viola joke or how bad they are, it really breaks my heart since I play the viola
@@unknownalicia9516 just gotta learn to suck it up eventually.
Oh so the violas are the bassists of classical?
What’s the problem with violas?
3:25
Subtitles:
„*a truly horrendous attempt at playing the Russian national anthem“
...😂
You put the time stamp at the exact moment the subtitle dissapear.
Not glory blyat
NOT GLORY TO MOTHERLAND GULAG BLYAT
It’s for the Beethoven. That’s why subtitles were there to begin with.
@@kristynguyen3990 Deaf people do be vibing tho
A TwoSet video a day keeps the depression away.
It would have been funny if its wasnt true
Perfect
If you watch their videos a lot you will be even more depressed cause they are so talented
My depression fades away every time i watch their YLYL videos
Yessur
Soloist at my school broke a string during a performance once but didn't switch with the concertmaster or anything, and everyone else kept going, and the conductor didn't do anything...so he just stood there and they finished without him...
Nooooo 😆
He should just have improvised on the other 3 strings. Oh no, I forgot he was a classical musician.
tell me how to play 5th position on E on the A string. Go ahead.
wifebeater69 your profile picture kinda looks like a girl version of Nagisa Shiota from Assassination Classroom
Everythinganime 101 Your spelling is killing me.
The Russian anthem thing is real. The Egyptian marching band messes every anthem up
No waaaaay. Poor Putin ROFLOL
They butchered Deutschlandlied as well
vexonica 02 Who told you that we call our national anthem “Deutschlandlied” 😂?
@@shouko4218 am i wrong here? I know it has lot version and lyrics but the main score music is still the same both in Austria-Hungary anthem and Kaiser Franz version and I'm pretty sure I spelled it correctly what was the problem.
Edit: Please elaborate if I was mistaken something
Lol
I just started learning the violin about 7 days ago and I really need to note to myself: WATCHING 40 HOURS OF TWOSETVIOLIN IS NOT PRACTICE
Nikki Andre how's Violin going now? I've been playing for 8 years now
Oooh so it's been a year now since you started!
I started today-
I can't tune it and I have no teacher, I'm screwed
Are you still playing, Nikki? I do not expect a reply cos you should be practicing not reading YT comments! 😉
@@thegoodfeelings1031 How's it going now? I bought an electronic tuner that fits across the pegs. Invaluable esp as I don't know a B from a C never mind a B#!
The video with Putin is the Egyptian Army Orchestra performing, and it’s not the only anthem they’ve ruined there are hundreds of videos 😂
Hahaha I know what I look up now. Thanks for making my night! XD
Are they just the worst or what?
The "bad" orchestra @ 8:30 is actually Portsmouth sinfonia, where the musicians exchanged their instruments. They did plenty of pieces like this, my personal favourite is The dance of the sugar plum fairy!
ClotildeLavorel they did well
ClotildeLavorel oml that’s cool
Dude. I've been looking for this group since last year. Thank youuuuuuu
All pro musicians; Brian Eno played Clarinet!
The basic idea behind Portsmouth sinfonia was that they were all art students, but not musicians. If they could play an instrument, they had to play something they couldn't.
How could I not be laughing if you put elephants' pictures ?
Reims Arlett I spat my noodles out laughing too hard XD
My favorite one
Yeah I had it together until then LMAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I also laughing that lmao
Got me too...
Brett is SO freaking handsome; even in dead-pan mode. And how they kept a straight face during the Space Odyssey theme is unbelievable!
Guy's I feel as a guitarist I should inform you that the Nokia theme is by a Spanish guitar composer Tarrega called Gran Vals. Just in case you did not know because you should give it a listen! He was one of our major transition schools of teaching between the 19th and 20th century for technique and composing. Its kind of bizarre hearing the theme in actual context.
I just listen to it and it's beautiful.
I have eared right now the original piece and it's wonderful 😍
It really is beautiful.
Non-musician gang here, I first listened to Gran Vals because of the Nokia jokes really but omg it is such a stunning piece and now Tarrega is definitely one of my favourite composers
Holy shit really??!! Dude that's so cool :0
Putin didn't lose that point.
He looked like he wanted to stab himself
Feuerstern 575757 the fail was that the band was horrible
@@Feuerstern-gr9zq compare to the original Russian anthem
@@Feuerstern-gr9zq Don't you really hear anything wrong in this piece? It sounds so out of tune. You dont even need to know original anthem to say it.
He probably thought of all the people he's going to sent to the gulag and that kept his mood right.
"A viola joke a day keeps the conductor away."
Sinan Akkoyun As a violist, I might actually start that.
I just discovered these dudes a month ago and have been binging several years of content. I know nothing about music at al, I just like their swag and vibe.
Storytime: So I was in middle school choir and my teacher knew that I played piano. After my choir finished performing during our school concert, the highschool choir was going onstage, when suddenly my teacher just scans over us and his eyes land on me. And then he just like, waves me over??? And then he just asks me to turn pages for the guy playing piano for the highschool choir. But the thing is, he didn't tell me beforehand so I knew that I had to do it. He just randomly told me to do it, during the concert, right when the highschool choir was GETTING ONSTAGE. I freaked out. I was TERRIFIED. I sat next to the pianist and like, choir sheet music is different and I could not figure it out and I was PANICKING. I couldn't turn the pages correctly, so I was just apologizing a thousand times over to that poor highschool pianist and I legitimately felt like crying. Later, as I was going back to my seat, I was still apologizing, so that pianist just told me "it's okay." but I still felt so bad.
I still feel so bad about that. ;-;
At a concert, I had no one to turn pages, so I asked another pianist to do it for me. She said yes but I had to turn pages for her too. I thought it'd be fine, but I missed the repetition marks and then she did it all by herself so I just sat next to her staring at the score but wasn't able to do anything and I felt really bad too.
"You should never laugh at a musician's mishap" But a violist without actually failing or playing already makes me laugh
The existence of a violist is already a fail XD
Foxtrot Felix stop making me cry ;;
I like violists
Dibuly Rela yes me too
I have friends who are violists
HEY TWOSET HERE'S A JOKE
How many conducters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
No one knows, no one ever looks at them.
*OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
The Dolphin Violinist how many VIOLISTS*
father louis williams suga adams the third I applaud that reply 👏👏👏
father louis williams suga adams the third army xD
Thy answer:
No one knows because no one ever looks at the conductor.
XD
"you must never laugh at another musician's mishap"
*me scrolling through TwoSetViolin's youtube page*: "hmmmmmmmmmm"
I love that easy laughter on Brett's face back then. He seems really happy.
I love that at the end they just stopped keeping score
our conductor once knocked over the cello's music stad while they were playing a solo... luckily it was only during practice
That pianist... Oh my... I've been through this as a young student. I went blank. But I never stopped playing. I repeated the same part 3 times (I think the 3rd time I almost cursed too when I turned my head to the ceiling with a rolling-eyes-face 🤬😲) and then moved on to the rest of the piece that had been restored in my mem... No, fingers. I'm not sure I was aware of what I was playing after all this! 😂 😂. It only took me a sonatina to wave both hello and goodbye Mr Tchaikovsky!
The part that made me laugh ?...
"NOKIA !!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS ALREADY"
Life Lesson: Learn the Nokia ringtone.
Grand vals, fernando tarrega.
Pedro Silva finally
Its actually Gan vals by Francisco Tarrega. Not Grand not fernando
@Claire De Castro Reyes
Well, actually, it's neither grand or gan, it's "GRAN Vals"...
Done! Now I just have to learn the pieces of the actual concert.
The Russian anthem one never fails to make me laugh
what happened there.I didn't get it.
extremely out of tune russian anthem, putin looks unamused
PINEE SHINee same
6v6이진기 me too
Same here hahaha
4:58 I'm Brett Yang and you're watching Disney Channel
hahhah
omg hahaha
Lolzz!!
the nokia ringtone is actually a piece of classical music :(((
Nokia is also from Sibelius country 🇫🇮🇫🇮👌
ikr
i live in nokia👌
@@johanna3784 Oh nice🙂
the piece is called
Grans vals
That poor pianist at 1:53! Was that Chopin Competition? I feel so bad for the guy...
Tchaikovsky comp. I believe, the etude section. I feel terrible because I know how difficult double thirds are being a pianist.
So im confused, why did he stop? And when he started to play again and stopped at the same place
The entire right hand section of this piece is double thirds and it's really REALLY difficult not to mess up (even for just a couple of bars and in a slower tempo). It's one of the most difficult (if not THE most difficult) etudes by Chopin. He felt that he's about to make a mistake that he cannot recover from, so he stopped. Twice. My piano teacher is a former concert pianist from Russia and she played many etudes by Chopin, Rachmaninoff and even Liszt, but she was never able to play this one (at least not beyond the point this pianist got).
+Bob it;s Chopin Etude Op 25 No.6 not Tchaikovsky.
He meant Tchaikovsky Competition.
I can't feel anything but feel sorry for that pianist. It must feel awful...
William Midgley can you explain to me what happened to the pianist?
Khaela Fortunela He stopped playing and had to restart
Ludwig Galaxy i think i got it now after watching it again. Did the pianist have memory slips?
Khaela Fortunela I think so I don’t want to imagine myself going through this...
Khaela Fortunela no I think the key was messed up. They probably didn’t tune the piano.
12:27
Eddy is such a soft darling the whole video. Hug him Brett.
“You should never laugh at a musician’s mishap.”
Unless...
They’re a viola
How dare you?!
Hosea Escuella yea those are u educated swine
unfortunately... putins vid wasn't a shred, which seems to make it 20x worse
Carol Leader ITS NOT A SHRED?😂that's bad
ibazell YUP LITERALLY
They were all immediately sent to the gulag.
That was worse than my middle school band
I think its the Egyptian Military Band? They are actually known for being the worst national band in the world.
I can't hold my laugh when the elephants come 8:30 😂
Elephants are no joke lady, they can step on you and watching you die of they want!
Portsmouth Simfonia are iconic
It's 2:30AM. I couldn't hold it either. XD.
Ur "elephant" cummed?!
My very first high school orchestra concert. We all walk out on stage in a line because that's what you do in high school. We sit down and adjust ourselves and stuff and I put my music on my stand and it just curls in on itself and falls off. I pick it back up and put it on the stand again and it slides off. Everyone else is ready and I'm trying to get my music to stay on the stand. People start laughing and I have tears streaming down my face because I'm so embarrassed. This goes on for about 30 seconds before the orchestra director walked over to help me. This was all on livestream and every concert is posted on the school RUclips channel so my nightmare is on the Internet until the end of time 😥
The coughing one reminded me of when I was on a concert and didn't want to cough, but I really had to, and I was holding it back until I was just tearing up and it was so bad I could barely breathe.. So I get it when someone really needs to cough, but it can be annoying I understand that too..
Normally I sneeze rather loudly, but there was one time where thankfully by a miracle I sneezed silently... it was during a short caesura during a concert I was watching!
13:00 NO WAAAY! I WANT THAT VERSION OF NOKIA RINGTONE!!
Disney hired them shortly
The nokia tune is actually stolen from Gran Vals (a classical guitar piece made by Francisco Tarrega).
I assure you, after listening to it you won't ever need a violinist to play that again.
"stolen"
It was in public domain.
Sameeeee
The original "you had one job" cuz you literally had ONE JOB
Pianist here, once I messed up my recital like that guy ... war memories arrghh PTSD arrrghhh
"You don't play important parts"
Me, double bassist and cellist: eXcUsEz MoI?
the elephant sounding guys were actually a really good youth or maybe adult band that switched instruments for a day
It was the best thing ever. I loved it so much.
I dropped my bow once in front of my teacher:")
I did too! My teacher was telling me notes and i was like "yeah mmhmm yup yup WHOOPS"
Thats actually a good thing. It mean you are not holding the bow tight.
I dropped a whole cello... it was o ly a $100 mistake
I also dropped a bow in the middle of a concert, I was the assistant principal cello. 'Twas a horrid experience.
I did that playing czardas in a lesson a while ago
11:33 They're actually in Covent Garden, London, ENGLAND.... not Italy XD
Ilva Sushi if I recall correctly, it’s not the first time Brett confused Italy and England?
ralph wang he said la donna e mobile is from england lol
it’s a really popular spot i saw a string quartet busking there and have seen multiple videos of other groups too
3:50 She is LITERALLY plying lower notes (4th’s and 5th’s), at times - so technically she is playing FLAT, whilst the actual note she is playing is SHARP…it takes REAL TALENT to pull that one off… . .smh🙄
Stop starting each video with a viola joke. It slowly but surely deteriorates my soul.
David Lawler but it really males me feel very good
you play the viola for christ's sake you should've gotten used to feeling neglected
Im not a viola player but I agree!! I respect the violists and the bassists as the violinists and cellists!!
Then pewish :3
"At least it was the bass part. You guys don't play the important part." Yes we don't always get the "important" part but we do make the important part sound better. We are the counter melody.
Dat Boi I got pissed off as well
And the bass is what makes the rythm in a jazz band, much more than the battery.
Honestly(I play bass too)
Us Basses usually had to play very loudly with our rhythmic pieces to make sure the Violinists were keeping beat and listening/watching because half the time they wouldn't even watch our Conductor.
I know right? Basses should be more appreciated.
I think that one single cough was the last thing to tip the pot that was already boiling at time marker 10:40 for that singer. Either that or they've got a very short fuse. Wow!
the clip at 11:30 following is in the lower level of Covent Garden in London. Covent Garden is famous for its street artists and you will frequently find artists and musicians performing there. The audience more often than not is included in the performance as happened there :)
Repost?. I'll still rewatch it anyway, because I love your videos (no matter how many times I get roasted).
Vikturi 11 Same😂 I get roasted all of the time since I'm a violist😂😂
^
^^^^
I mean how hard is it turn a page....
If you can't read music? It can be pretty hard.
Kost3k if you can't read music then why are you a page turner?
I mean if you can read music why would you be a page turner?
As a pianist or non-pianist, you would be pretty surprised how damn hard it can be to turn a page. It can be difficult to grab just one page, and-even worse-sometimes the pages can stick together so you end up turning more than one
It is surprisingly hard! Especially if the tempo is hard to follow all of a sudden or the texture is super dense and you have no idea where the pianist is on the page. Some pianists nod while playing too, so it's hard to tell when they're telling you to turn the page....if they indicate it at all.
The subtitles are some of the best things that I've ever seen. IT'S HILARIOUS and compliments the video very well
1:15 ,Eddy:if u laugh at the musicians u are cold hearted,evil creature
At 2:07,Eddy's inner voice:don't laugh you'll be caught.
A viola joke a day keeps your viola viewers away
Nah, they have Stockholm syndrome and keep turning up with the more viola jokes they make.
That Woozen Ariana I'm a viola player and I've been offended many times yet I'm still here
Actually, they always keep coming back everyday
Deym this good😂
Viola players carry their jokes around inside a case.
I didn't know it was possible to play worse than a violist..
It's called the 2nd violin section
It’s call 3rd violin
Anita Pierce - HOW DARE YOU
How dare you I'm a second violin :o
I didn’t know there were worse things than your name and attitude
Congrats on your extremely popular channel. With all due respect guys, on some of your vids, a lot of them actually, the volume between your speaking sections and music is askew. Sometimes the speaking sections are way too loud compared to the sections of music, violin playing etc and at other times the opposite A little bit of audio editing would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to ride to volume. Or, just slap a compressor on the audio track for goodness sake. Not trying to b critical, just making a suggestion.
Totally agree. Just pick a volume, for chrissakes!
The first one was a fail because one of the horns cracked a note in their entry, and as they did so the conductor was immediately pissed off 😂
Brett's face during the Space Odyssey one destroyed me
Honestly both of you are so naturally funny and cute I'm so glad I subscribed.
"Don't Answer. Let it Ring." I would have had a heart attack on the spot.
TwoSet: Laughing is rude.
Also TwoSet (4:10)
This is ear rape.
8:00
(violist to concert master)
"I've broken a string!" *sob*
(Concert master to violist)
"Here, take this trumpet and do your best."
13:24 = mic drop.. uhh I mean bow drop!
As much as I love TwoSetViolin there viola jokes are mean 😂😂 like it lowkey hit me bc I play the viola,, BUT I STILL LOVE YOU GUYS
emma song dont be such a viola
emma song i feel you im a bass player, but at 5:35 hurt me no lie just like woah why.
My mom is a violist, it's the fate of all violas to be mocked, that's a quote
Noooo those buskers aren’t in Italy, they’re in Covent Garden in London! They’re great, but such a tourist trap - they just play Pachelbel’s Canon in D constantly, pretty much 😂😅
"A laugh a day keeps the bad flu away."
I wish I laughed more..
Your personalities make this channel! Great video.
I FREAKING LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
When ever I watch y’all I am perpetually laughing. Thanks
how others watch videos: while eating
how TwoSet fans watch videos: while PRACTICING
At 11:34 it is actually in London, Covent Garden Market! :)
Nokia: interrupting concerts and music industry for ages causing musicians to improvise on the spot
btw. I gotta somehow get that 12:45 as my ringtone now.
*12:42** was a WIN*
the volume of the music: -102Db
the volume of brett and eddy's voices 19328 Db
Dude I don't know why but I'm getting hit with a tsunami of deja vu
Mellow panda they already posted this in an earlier video
The only one I laughed at was the guy in the orchestra and he threw his bow on the floor XD hilarious still dying of laughter!
I actually felt sorry for the first pianist. :(
The buskers from around 11:35 are in Covent Garden, London. They're still there now, albeit a slightly different lineup! Check em out next time you're in town!
8:10 ok there is a story behind this track. Apparently, everyone in the orchestra switched instruments with other musicians and were challenged to play the odyssey.
Pro tip... ALWAYS REMEBER MOST OF THE BOTES IN A SONG JUST INCASE YOUR STAND FALLS OVER OR YOUR MUSIC FLYS OFF. Needed to say that
Kubrick's film is not a fail. He wanted the beginning to sound like that. It is a truly fascinating film and one of the best in cinema history.
10:25 Imagine these two attend a wedding ceremony and their ears caught something wrong from the musicians. Their expression would be crazy 😂
8:50 Hey that sounds like my school orchestra and thats why I play it another orchestra that actually teaches things
Oh, my God, the second clip killed me. I watch the Chopin competition performances all the time and plan to be in the next one. Seeing that has put me off.
Wild. I was recommended classical cringe/fail videos and watched this exact compilation, which led me around to this channel and got me working back through your videos. Nice to come full circle. That Russian National Anthem is TRAGIC!
A Stanley Kubrik production... is this a movie?
Me: Aaaarrrggghhh!
My soul died a little bit at that part.
21st century... NOOO... 2001: A Space Odyssey!!!
I think what he meant was: is this orchestra playing during an exhibition of the film?
Because Eddy and Brett mentioned that “Also Sprach Zarathustra” was the 2001 movie theme in a Charades episode. So they at least know that!
The first one was where the french horns split the note, and the Conductor did that, arms drop, scowl of disappointment, gesture.
And I know who the organist at 10:05 is,,, little Zelda Rubenstein's character in Sixteen Candles! Complete with her bottle of hooch in her purse, that sloshes in tune with the scraping of her pantyhose between her thighs, when she walks...
Poor Zelda, RIP Tangina Barrons! (Poltergeist 1, and 2, my favorites of her's) Did you know Poltergeist 1 was cursed since they used real corpses from that place in Knoxville TN USA that researches how bodies decay in the environment to better investigate crime scenes, in the "swimming pool, and climax scenes? Heather O'Rouke (Carol Anne,) died from an intestinal ailment, Dominique Dunne (Dana,) was murdered by her ex, and Craig T. Nelson (Steven,) and JoBeth Williams' (Dianne,) careers never saw any major roles since. They weren't even in Poltergeist 3...
My performance nightmare: a few years ago in a cold room, my G string decided to go out in the middle of my recital piece. While I was playing an open G.
🤣🤣🤣just saw a newer challenge (you two look like little babies here🥰😇🥰!!), featuring the first video (the conductor reacting to the pubescent-sounding French horn intro), & seeing Eddie (*not pay attention*&) miss it in this video made me both chuckle AND wonder if it took, like, 2 or 3 years for him to figure it out, or if Brett was a good buddy and eventually pointed it out to him 👀😬🤷♀️🤣.
Nokia: ruining classical concerts since Nokia was invented
My choir was performing a master work (long, intense piece with many movements) and in between movements, a phone went off and no one turned it off. Turned out to be an older person in the choir who had to get off stage, into the audience, turn it off, then return.
When he said "Nokia" at 12:47 I died!!! Literally replayed that...the build up was perfect.
FUn fact:
The Nokia tune, was originally called “Grande Valse” on Nokia phones, the same name given to a composition by Frederic Chopin. But Nokia's theme has always been credited to a Spanish guitarist and composer Francisco Tárrega and his song from 1902, the almost identically named, “Gran Valse”.
That putin visit IS real! I watched that video when it was released and I thought.. why are they playing so horribly.. i feel sorry for them
Have I seen this video before?
So I am a very anxious pianist. I am the kind of the player who will start over when I make even one tiny mistake, because I panic and lose my place and can’t keep going. I do not perform, and can barely even play in front of people, for this reason... However! Last year in September, I had the privilege of watching The Piano Guys play live in Brisbane, Australia, and I noticed something super important. Jon, the pianist made mistakes. Here was this guy I idolised, i can play like 5 of their songs, but I was always so intimidated by how perfect they played in their videos, a standard that I just could not achieve, that I just couldn’t make myself play for other people. Seeing him skip a couple notes here and there, striking 2 keys accidentally, even hitting the wrong notes! showed me that even the guy who wrote that music made mistakes in it. Don’t get me wrong, the performance was perfect! I only noticed mistakes because I knew the songs so well. Most other people don’t notice those mistakes. I was holding myself to an un-reachable standard that not even pros them selves wouldn’t hold themselves to.
I can now play in front of people. The panic is there when I mess up but I mess up much less now that I’m not panicking as much, as strange as that sounds.
I found TwoSetViolin from watching this compilation video - one of the best discoveries ever
I seriously get goosebumps every time I hear this part 12:41 ❤️❤️ especially when the whole orchestra joins in, aahh, eargasm ❤️❤️
